RSS Feed error – Xml Parsing Error

    After signing up for Mailchimp I tried to create a campaign for my blog posts using my RSS feed but it wouldn’t work because of an error in my RSS feed:

    https://hazyreads.com/feed/

    The error I receive is:

    This feed does not validate.
line 38, column 509: XML parsing error: <unknown>:38:509: mismatched tag [help]
... ceChild(e,c)}}}catch(u){}}();/* ]]> */</script><br />]]></description>

    My first guess after googling the problem was that the error was with Cloudflare which I use for the site. They have had me change a couple of settings but the error continues. Since it is ‘mismatched tag’ does that mean it’s an error in the code? Is there a template somewhere I can check? Could it be an issue with the theme?

    While I am fairly comfortable working with WordPress, I know nothing about the coding of RSS. Can you help?

    That’s likely being added by a plugin or theme function. If it were in the post content, the feed would have stripped it out.

    Try deactivating all plugins. If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.

    If that does not resolve the issue, try switching to the Twenty Fifteen theme to rule-out a theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).

    Thank you for the advice! I deactivated all the plugins, problem fixed. Deactivated the very first one, and it was broke again! The plugin was ‘Add to Any’, but it could be my code within it that is the problem.

    So, all fixed! Thank you!
