Feed not valid

  • Using 1.5-gamma 2005-02-03.

    I have made my own MO-file for localizing dates and few other things. But it seem to translate the item’s pubDate into local.

    The second error I can’t figure out, is it the ™ that makes it fail?

  • If you read the feed validation page and click on “help” next to the error involving the date you’ll see that it is indeed the localization of the day that’s causing the problem. The only allowed possibilities are Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat.

    As for the trademark symbol, you might try using the Unicode markup instead of ™. The Unicode is: ™ (according to https://www.natural-innovations.com/wa/doc-charset.html, although it also lists ™). I supposed it’s possible to modify your original post to change it to the Unicode.

    Spectacular. OK, here’s the Unicode: #8482
    When you want to use it, surround it with & and ;

    Thanks for the unicode tip.

    But still I wonder what happens with the item’s pubDate. As you see, the first pubDate that occurs within the <channel> is correct, but they all get localized within the <item>.

    In wp-rss2.php, the difference between the call on mysql2date is the second parameter. Is get_the_time result localized? Or maybe it’s the foreach loop with the call on start_wp() that makes it localized? And isn’t start_wp deprecated?
