 * I solved the problem. The /wp-content/upgrade directory needs to have permissions
   set to 777, they were not set correctly. I made the change and everything updates
   just fine.

 * I am still getting this error in one of my WP installs, all the other work and
   the layout is the same in them all.. Any ideas on why I’m seeing this when doing
   ANY auto-updates at all?

 * I removed this line in my index.php file in my themes and the spam links have
   seemed to disappear.
 * <?php $wp_headers() ?>
 * Does that make sense or am I missing something obvious?
    Thank you very much 
   for you kind offer and I will make the changes in my blog profile ASAP.

 * That’s what I am asking for, do I just look for that [http://spam](http://spam)
   link URL, or can they use something else that I need to watch for? meta_head()???
   is something I’m not familiar with, so that’s what I’m asking. What should I 
   be looking for?

 * Thank you for your helpful reply.
    I checked in the files that I would think 
   would have the links in, but I have not found them. Since they are in the headerblock
   section of the source, does anyone have an idea where they might have been placed
   and what might have been placed there?

 * My host said it’s in the install, I did a search and found a couple blank pages
   for that, do you have a specific response that I can show my host and let him
   know what to do?

 * I finally removed these lines from my 1.52 WP wp-rss2.php file and I no longer
   receive the error messages when trying to validate in feedvalidator.org.. now
   my problem is waiting to see if I broke anything in my enclosures. :-/

 * Thank you for your response.
    So is there anything I can change in the wp-rss2.
   php file to keep from getting this warning, or do we just live with it until 
   validators like feedvalidator.org can handle it?
