 * Hello There
 * I am having an issue with a RSS Feed Widget on my index page. It loads up fine
   and does what I tell it, until 2 seconds after loading for some reason in the
   markup it looks like this:
    <a< span=””> class=”rsswidget” href=”[http://www.crea.ca/feed/?post_type=crea_newsroom”><img](http://www.crea.ca/feed/?post_type=crea_newsroom”><img)
   class=”rss-widget-icon” style=”border:0″ src=”[http://test.kbbrokerage.ca/wp-includes/images/rss.png&#8221](http://test.kbbrokerage.ca/wp-includes/images/rss.png&#8221);
   alt=”RSS” height=”14″ width=”14″> [CREA](http://www.crea.ca/)</a<>
 * It’s causing the class=”rsswidget” href=”…” to appear in my title for some reason.
   Other than that, everything loads up great as expected.
 * However after I let the website load, I hit esc to prevent any changes, the markup
   looks completely normal, it changes after 2 seconds the website has completely
   loaded to the above broken class. I looked into the Widget.php and it looks perfectly
   fine, I just don’t know why it changes into that broken class.
 * I removed most of the changes in my index file to make sure nothing I added is
   causing this, however even after I remove all my changes, after 2 seconds the
   website loads that broken link appears causing my error.
 * If I am also posting in the wrong forum please let me know which one I should
   be posting in..
 * Thank you for your time and effort!

 * Your feed validates, [https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http://www.crea.ca/](https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http://www.crea.ca/)
   but there is nothing there. Create a post to put something into the feed and 
   see what happens.
 * Where did you get the feed plugin?
 * If you open your site in Chrome and hit F12 (then make sure Console is selected)
   you will see errors. Same thing with your feed, you will see errors.

 * OH Hi Thank you for getting back to me.
 * Where did I get the feed plugin: No idea, I looked under plugins and there is
   nothing there, it was probably done through add_theme_support. I get the Widget
   options under appearances and that gives me different options for widgets. It
   gives me an RSS Feed option where I enter the feed I want. I am trying to add
   additional RSS Feeds that are not my own, from another website to help direct
   our viewership to more info. Everything loads just right but the title, it gives
   me that broken link then the title.
 * I also opened the site with Chrome and selected Console, this is what I get: 
   The specified value “email*” is not a valid email address.
    jquery-1.6.2.min.
   js?ver=4.5.3:18 ‘webkitRequestAnimationFrame’ is vendor-specific. Please use 
   the standard ‘requestAnimationFrame’ instead.
 * Does it mean anything to you you or any other person who may be reading this?
 * Yea, I’m pretty new to web development. This company took me on as part-time 
   to do this and that for their website and it helps me develop my web development
   skills.. yea, still pretty new to all this, I appreciate any help.
 * I hope this post helps provide more information, let me know if you need anything
   else. Oh, yes, I did something to the test website, I broke it at some point,
   I have no idea how but I did fix most of it however certain elements do not show
   up (I don’t know what to call them, but this isn’t an issue with the live version,
   I am still receiving the same RSS Title issue I am having)
 * Thank you again in advance for your time and effort!

 * You should deactivate that plugin. If you use the rss widget you don’t need it.
 * The errors I see are javascript errors. and have to do with a player
    www-embed-
   player.js:634 GET chrome-extension://enhhojjnijigcajfphajepfemndkmdlo/cast_sender.
   js net::ERR_FAILED Qj @ www-embed-player.js:634Rj @ www-embed-player.js:635(anonymous
