  • Or
    Character encoding
    Add “AddDefaultCharset utf-8” to your .htaccess

    Yes, that is also a possibility, if everything else is utf-8 on the site. But my solution makes it fail safe, I think. I’ll stick to it anyway. ??

    The only reason that error comes up (the error is not critical, the feed is still valid, and your feed can be read by all post-year-2000 RSS readers) is because one(or more) of your entries is(are) encoded in US-ASCII. The issue will resolve itself as soon as the offending post(s) is(are) no longer on the RSS feed.

    I think Podz and W3 are right, actually. The server defaults to US-ASCII and will send a header saying the feed is in US-ASCII unless PHP or .htaccess says utf-8. I have not looked through all the WP code, but I do not think it has to do with any posts being in other encoding. My WP installation has been running on utf-8 from day 1 and there should be no posts in other encodings.

    Well, I’m just saying so because it has happened on all of my blogs at least once.
