[SOLVED] Feeds not working
 
This is the error I get with Firefox. There never was a /feed directory created

XML Parsing Error: XML or text declaration not at start of entity
Location: http://sparks-mexico.com/feed/
Line Number 2, Column 1:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

I see the Comments Feed is working from the folder /comments/feed (in Firefox)
But posts just wants the folder /feed

I have a Feedburner account but not sure it would work if these don't

I'm getting an "Error 403: Forbidden' (both safari and Firefox) trying to go there this could be a premissions problem...

Also it is showing up on a 'Parallels H-Sphere' page

The posts is now working but comments not.

The only thing I changed was a redirect from another install of Wordpress in another directory ??

sparksmex Oct 1, 2009 09:45 AM

Working fine ... except Comments in IE

juggledad Oct 1, 2009 02:42 PM

do you mean comments feed or comments? And http://sparks-mexico.com takes me directly to the /feed

sparksmex Oct 2, 2009 06:09 AM

I turned off comments feed because it didn't work with IE, only Firefox. Very strange.

The base URL works fine for me

I'm now using an RSS extender to add pages but the feed list is limited to 5. I'll have to see if there is a setting for that

juggledad Oct 2, 2009 08:25 AM

interesting, now the base URL is working fine for me also

Juggledad, you've saved my butt before, I'm hoping you can do it again!

I'm having the same problem. I get the exact same message when I click on the "Posts" feed, installed via ATO --> RSS Settings.

This is the message I get:

XML Parsing Error: XML or text declaration not at start of entity
Location: http://www.outfrontcolorado.com/blog/?feed=rss2
Line Number 2, Column 2: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
-^

My main site: http://www.outfrontcolorado.com/blog/
Atahualpa 3.4.2
WP 2.8.1

I've checked the server, and created a /?feed folder, with open permissions. But I'm still getting the parsing error. What do I do now?

juggledad Oct 7, 2009 01:58 PM

When I click on the Rss feed, I get to the feed page no error at all

sunnivie Oct 7, 2009 02:24 PM

I've tried it on several different computers, on firefox, safari and IE, and I'm only seeing the same error every time. It was reported to me by a user, so I know it isn't just limited to my network. Any suggestions?

sunnivie Oct 7, 2009 02:26 PM

and when I try to run the blog through Feedburner, I get this error message:

The URL does not appear to reference a valid XML file. We encountered the following problem: Error on line 2: The processing instruction target matching "[xX][mM][lL]" is not allowed.

I've checked everything I can, it all seems to be in order...

juggledad Oct 7, 2009 05:47 PM

so let me gt thios straight, if you go to http://www.outfrontcolorado.com/blog/?feed=rss2 you get the error?
If I go there I see the RS. I just subscribed to the email feed and got 10 articles.

sunnivie Oct 8, 2009 09:07 AM

Juggledad, yes, I still get the error, but I think it's an isolated problem on the consumer end. My personal computer is able to read it, and so are other readers' computers (I checked in with a few readers).

I suppose, by process of elimination, that means it's a problem on the hardware end of a few individual computers and not on the software end of Atahualpa? Thanks again for all your help.
