 * Hello,
 * Mailchimp is giving me an RSS feed error after installing this plugin. I deactivated,
   but I’m still seeing this error at Feedvalidator.org:
 * This feed is valid, but interoperability with the widest range of feed readers
   could be improved by implementing the following recommendations.
 * line 33, column 0: Use of unknown namespace: com-wordpress:feed-additions:1 (
   11 occurrences) [help]
 * Please advise on how to repair my feed.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Frss-feed-invalid-6%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * If you’ve deactivated the plugin, and it’s still giving you the warning, it’s
   not from our plugin. That namespace issue is just an unknown namespace warning,
   it’s harmless.
 * Our plugin should also not cause any validation errors, so I’d want to troubleshoot
   the specific Mailchimp RSS Feed Error, can you paste that in here after activating
   our plugin?
 * Leave the plugin activated, and try the validation again, let me know if there
   are any feed errors, or if you see the “feed is valid” message.

 * Same thing here: RSS Feed Error. Deactivating the plugin immediately resolved
   the issue. It appears that something broke in the latest update to Version 1.5.6
   on WP 5.5.1.

 * Hi [@lllusion](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lllusion/) is it the same 
   warning as above?:
 * This feed is valid, but interoperability with the widest range of feed readers
   could be improved by implementing the following recommendations.
 * line 33, column 0: Use of unknown namespace: com-wordpress:feed-additions:1 (
   11 occurrences) [help]
 * Please create your own thread with the specifics of your error, as that warning
   above can be ignored, and was not generated by our plugin, it was created by 
   WordPress.com.

 * My error was that the RSS feed was invalid. I don’t remember there being a line
   number. But *immediately* after disabling _Featured Images in RSS for Mailchimp&
   Other Email_ the error disappeared and MailChimp sent the awaiting email-campaign.

 * [@lllusion](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lllusion/) Strange, the latest
   version of our plugin should not generate any errors on it’s own… it may be double
   namespace errors or other issues with conflicting plugins. Deactivating one of
   the conflicting plugins would resolve it, which isn’t resolving the root cause.
 * Create a new thread with the specific error if you’d like help resolving it.
