[Plugin: PodPress 8.8.6.3] Invalid Feed

  • I have been publishing to iTunes fine, but when I go to validate the feed through feedvalidator.org I get errors.

    Feed – https://jasonwinn.com/?feed=podcast

    1.Invalid character in a URI:
    … on’t have to wait too long.</p>]]></content:encoded>

    2. content:encoded should not contain relative URL references: /images/Tanked-Logo.jpg

    … in 2 to 3 weeks for Tanked Act 2!</p>]]></content:encoded>

    Any help would be much appreciated.

  • Hello Jason,

    the full error message is

    This feed does not validate.
    line 72, column 474: Invalid character in a URI: /images/Blackbirds Ball01.jpg

    and the further description says

    The specified value contains a character which is not valid in a URI.

    The problem here is that the file name of this picture has a white space in its file name. That is okay on your computer almost regardless of the OS on that machine but it is recommended to avoid white spaces and non-ASCII characters in names of files which are designated for usage in the Internet.

    If you replace the white space in the file with a underscore character then the problem will vanish.

    Regards,
    Tim
