Title: RSS Validation Error Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # RSS Validation Error * [xtime](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xtime/) * (@xtime) * [19 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-validation-error-2/) * I am running WordPress 2.0.4, using the Semilogic Minimalist theme. * I have searched the forums and the solutions to this problem offered here do not work.I am a PHP novice. Whenever I try to activate my rss feed in IE 7.0 I get this error: * End tag ‘dc:creator’ does not match the start tag ‘ADMINNICENAME’. Line: 51 Character: 32 * * The admin name has been changed and a nickname assigned. All of the posts are assigned an author. This problem doesn’t seem to fit any of the stock answers here.

If you are running adhesive, does your feed look better if you temporarily disable it? * Thread Starter [xtime](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xtime/) * (@xtime) * [19 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-validation-error-2/#post-475970) * Disabling the adhesive plug-in did the trick. I would have never put that together without your help. * Thank you.
