Title: XML Feed Possible? Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # XML Feed Possible? * [Max Evans](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xolox/) * (@xolox) * [19 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/xml-feed-possible/) * Is it possible to create another feed file as an xml feed? I’m trying to set up a syndicate page, and some of the reader sites need an xml file.

All I see is an rss.php and rss2.php. All the other feeds are php as well. * [Chris_K](https://wordpress.org/support/users/handysolo/) * (@handysolo) * [19 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/xml-feed-possible/#post-412238) * You have “pretty” permalinks on? * http://yourblog.com/blog/feed * No permalinks? * http://yourblog.com/blog/?feed=rss2 * Thread Starter [Max Evans](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xolox/) * (@xolox) * [19 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/xml-feed-possible/#post-412242) * Some of the rss readers can’t find the feed.. when I use that. I want like a feed.xml file. Like have it as an addition to the other feeds. * Thread Starter [Max Evans](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xolox/) * (@xolox) * [19 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/xml-feed-possible/#post-412243) * Besides php files. * [Chris_K](https://wordpress.org/support/users/handysolo/) * (@handysolo) * [19 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/xml-feed-possible/#post-412245) * What possible reader are you working with that can’t take a well-formed RSS xml feed like WP generates? Got an url, I’d love to see one of these? * You don’t NEED to build “feed.xml”. That’s… argh.. counter to how RSS works. And silly. * Thread Starter [Max Evans](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xolox/) * (@xolox) * [19 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/xml-feed-possible/#post-412249) * Click on this link.. and see.. * [This link.. it’s to add the rss to MyAOL](http://feeds.my.aol.com/add.jsp?url=http%3A//www.rambling-theory.com/feed) * It’s part of the sydicate page I’m building.. and it says it can’t find the feed. And I know I got the URL right.. I made sure. * It says “Error * No feeds were found at the given address.” * [Chris_K](https://wordpress.org/support/users/handysolo/) * (@handysolo) * [19 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/xml-feed-possible/#post-412253) * Ok, yeah. AOL is a bit picky. It took _my_ feed though using [http://www.solo-technology.com/blog/feed](http://www.solo-technology.com/blog/feed) so I feel a bit vindicated… * I wonder if it would take your feed after you clean up your theme a bit. You have a lot of stuff BEFORE the `` tag (like divs!). It seems like AOL hits the url and checks for the feed links in the head section. * [manstraw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/manstraw/) * (@manstraw) * [19 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/xml-feed-possible/#post-412254) * I might direct this problem to AOL, as it appears to be their issue. * To be sure it would work the way you want, have you saved your feed to your a static file named the way you want? I would do that to be sure your desired path will solve the problem. * Actually, looking at your feed, it’s not quite formed the same as mine. Could it dislike the comment? (``). I have no idea what aol may or may not like to read in it feeds it tries to eat. * [manstraw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/manstraw/) * (@manstraw) * [19 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/xml-feed-possible/#post-412257) * um, know what, I should have done this first. [http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.rambling-theory.com%2Ffeed](http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.rambling-theory.com%2Ffeed) * there are some issues that aol may not like. * Thread Starter [Max Evans](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xolox/) * (@xolox) * [19 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/xml-feed-possible/#post-412260) * Ahhh.. I never thought about a feed validator. How would I fix the ‘problems’ without messing up what I have? * [manstraw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/manstraw/) * (@manstraw) * [19 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/xml-feed-possible/#post-412262) * That’s a good question, in that, I don’t specifically what aol dislikes. I would still start with saving the feed as a static file, named the way you think aol will like, and try submitting it again. * If it likes it, then you know it’s path name and not the content. If it doesn’t like it, you can go through the static file line by line deleting items until it validates. (start at the bottom so line numbers don’t change). * Well, that’s what I would do find the issue. * And I might update to 2.0.3 first, just cuz. * Moderator [Samuel Wood (Otto)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/otto42/) * (@otto42) * WordPress.org Admin * [19 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/xml-feed-possible/#post-412280) * One of those problems can be fixed by editing your rss2.php file and changing wfw:commentRSS to wfw:commentRss. Note the lowercase “ss” at the end. FeedValidator is picky. * The rest of the “problems”, well, not much you can do about it. That’s all stuff that is actually in your posts. No real feed reader would have much of a problem with those. * [manstraw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/manstraw/) * (@manstraw) * [19 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/xml-feed-possible/#post-412296) * Technically it validates. Those are just warnings. It might not even be any one of those warnings that aol is having the problem with. Unless someone has hit this issue before, I don’t see a way around experimenting. * Thread Starter [Max Evans](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xolox/) * (@xolox) * [19 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/xml-feed-possible/#post-412301) * Or not adding the AOL to the syndicate page. That’s the easy way.
