nothing in .htaccess?  and no redirection plugin?

Thank you for the additional thought on this Steve!

We have no redirect plugins running.

Below is our entire .htaccess file? Notice anything peculiar?

FYI: I tested removing the items in blue with no affect on the feed (in)validation.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*wp-content/plugins.*
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?sitemap.xml wp-content/sitemap.php [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*/wp-admin$
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ $1/ [R=301,L]

# redirect to non-www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]

you have a staging server, right?  does this occur there also?

No. I believe this has something to do with the theme which raised it's ugly head after recent WP updates.

Just can't figure out what...but we have a long overdue in the works anyway. We'll see what gets done first!

Thanks again.
