    The extra HTML they’re adding is an ad for their services, part of why your hosting is free. The only way to remove is to move to a different hosting provider.

    We typically don’t recommend free hosting providers around here, as they often offer crippled servers that prevent WordPress from functioning properly.

    There are a few recommended hosting providers, and if you really want a free blog, try WordPress.com instead.

    No, they have promised like they won’t sell any ads, but now they are publishing it like a credits. However i paid for domain, Im not wealthy as much to pay for paid host (I dint have that income to pay much).
    So there is no way to avoid those HTML files at the end?
    Or any solution to put </rss> tag after those HTML lines?
    HTML lines they are injected by host is:
    <a href="https://5gbfree.com/" rel="nofollow"><img src="https://www.5gbfree.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/spacer.gif" alt="free hosting" border="0"></a>

    Yeah, it’s an ad for their service, or a “credit” as they call it.

    There is no way to remove it, because of how they are injecting it. No matter what you do, it will always be injected at the end of every single page of the site, even the RSS feed.

    This is one of the many reasons for why we never recommend free hosts.

    There are a few recommended hosting providers (hosts there start at $1.95/month currently), and if you really want a free blog, try WordPress.com instead.

    Nope, your hosting provider is injecting their ad into the end of every page output from their server.

    Ohh thats real, i have tried adding <!– at the end of feed-rss2.php and result: the credits are commented out but the error is <!– this tag is not terminated.

    You’ll need to end it with -->

    With that said though, it’s probably gone because you broke your feed by editing a core file.

    More than likely, their ad needs to remain in accordance with their terms of service.

    We cannot support free hosts here, so you will need to take this up with their support.

    Yah, Ok, I heard you.

    Fingers crossed they can sort that out for you. Otherwise, there are plenty of alternatives, with recommended hosting providers (starting at $1.95/month currently), or even free at WordPress.com instead.

    All work perfectly and don’t break the functionality of your site by injecting ads.

    There is no contact support in this host provider :/ (onle FAQ and forum-that doesn’t allow me to post) , There is no other way i have. Ill continue with customizing website, if it takes more visitors then ill switch to paid host soon.

    Ok, let us know if you run into any different trouble or need help moving to a different hosting provider.
