sorry???

any rss reader can read simple press feeds…  if you have private forums, be sure to include the feedkey in the url…

Hi Papa,

Seems like my RSS is not working here is what i get when i run it through a Validator 

Thank you for helping 

I am not familiar with that feed validator – we use the w3c one  http://validator.w3.org/feed/ for testing…  

and our feeds validate…  that would indicate to me that the wp theme or another plugin is adding stuff to the feed… 

when you look at the raw source of your feed, it doesnt validate because something has added three blank lines a the beginning of it…

any suggestions Papa on what to do.

I’am only trying to use the simple press forum rss what would cause the first 3 lines to be blank?

another plugin or theme that doesnt realize its a feed… or doing something wrong with content…

just to verify that, try turning off all other plugins and see if it works…  if not, then switch to the wp default theme and see…

that would at least answer few questions…

Tired i been working on this for the last few hours and it is getting late here, i will check back tomorrow.

Thank You as always,

okay, np… 

I have some experimental code I have written to keep others from dorking with our feeds…  in all fairness, if they ask wp if the page is a feed, wp will say no…  my experimental code changes that…  but it would require that they at least check if its a feed…

but would like to know that its a plugin or theme causing it on your site first before going my code route…

Well its not the plugins , how do i check the theme default thanks again.

UpStateAL

Well you can change your site theme for the WordPress default like twenty-thirteen in the WP admin theme section.

It is the theme that is not allowing the RSS to work, but the other themes really aren’t what i want to use. 

What should i do? any Ideas 

Never mind got everything working, it was the theme.

Thank You both,

UpStateAL

ah good news. what was it?
