Mailchimp Invalid RSS Feed – Chosen Pro Theme

Your feed is perfectly valid, there’s a small recommendation, but that shouldn’t stop anything: https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stephenbentley.info%2Ffeed%2F

I recommend asking MailChimp for details, as the feed should work with them.

Thanks James.

That w3.org link is now showing different to what was shown earlier. I agree it now appears a valid feed URL but Chimpfeedr still refuses to accept it as valid!

I am on a free Mailchimp account so I have no idea how to contact them about this issue.

Thanks
Steve

Yeah, it looks they’ve dropped support for free accounts, that’s new. ??

The RSS feed is valid, so there’s no reason why it won’t work, and if they aren’t available to explain why they won’t take it, all we can really do here is suggest using a different email subscription service, like https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/jetpack/ or https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wysija-newsletters/

My sentiments exactly … thanks for the suggestions but I am going to try AWeber on a months free trial.

For the benefit of others, I found a fix to this. I used another RSS aggregator that worked and now have a combined RSS feed campaign within Mailchimp ??

Mailchimp are aware that Chimpfeedr did not work with my feeds and they suggested using https://www.rssmix.com/

As I say, it worked.
