  • I’m having the exact same problem after upgrading from 2.5 to 2.5.1.
    Any help?

    I’m having this problem too. Isn’t there any help?

    And none of you included a link so that we might look for ourselves.

    *cough* *hint*

    Sorry, HandySolo, you are right for this one but I included links in this post https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/173856?replies=1 which cover the same topic.

    I now also found a workaround by tweaking the .htaccess but if you like, I can disable it for testing within a given timeframe.

    Where is your feed not working? Mine works if I click on the RSS icon on my browser.

    However, the default RSS links that come with WordPress were not working for me (mine are in my footer). I noticed that https://www.amandanoelle.com/feed/ was now feed:https://www.amandanoelle.com/feed/ (same with comments feed). I removed the “feed:” in both instances by editing my footer, and now they work.

    Amanda: my feed is not working when the link structure is like:
    domain.xx/myblogaddress/feed/feedtype/
    my feed is working when the link structure is:
    domain.xx/myblogaddress/?feed=feedtype

    The former wordpress version linked to the first type so that my few readers registered the first type of link. In the new version, the first type of link is broken and the second type works.

    I looks as though it is fixed but it is not, I just tweaked the .htaccess so that those people who registered my blog under the first type of address are now automatically sent to the second type of address. Nevertheless, it’s still kaputt.

    Folks. I’m having the same issue. I’m getting feed errors again after having solved them a few weeks ago. My feed link is

    feed://feeds.feedburner.com/markrogersphotography/BVra

    Getting this error

    XML Parsing Error: xml declaration not at start of external entity
    Location: https://feeds.feedburner.com/markrogersphotography/BVra
    Line Number 2, Column 1:<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>

    The problem last time was with a plug-in, which I deactivated

    Only two things have changed sincethen: I added an automatic upgrade plug-in and then I upgraded to 2.5.1.

    I’ve gone in and individually de-activated all plug-ins one by one, including the upgrade one and that didn’t fix it. Now I’m trying to follow feedburners advice about checking for blank lines outside of <?…?> sections in my wp-config.php file, theme functions.php as well as my rss2.php and atom.php files.

    The only things that looks odd to me are that my wp-config.php file and functions.php files don’t seem to have a closing ?> tags. I tried adding one to the end of the config file but that didn’t do anything. Can someone look at the code below for each and let me know what to do? Specifically, if I need to add closing ?> brackets where exactly they should go?

    Thanks

    Config.php

    Did you change your Permalinks? What are they currently set to? Seems like you’re trying to fix the symptom instead of the problem (or am I missing something?).

    Seems like we may have two separate issues going on this thread — one that’s 2.5.1-upgrade related and another tied to permalinks.

    HandySolo can you weigh in on both of them?

    I’ve got the same problem. I am also getting the same message about

    XML Parsing Error: xml declaration not at start of external entity
    Location: https://www.art-by-pla.com/blog/feed
    Line Number 2, Column 1:<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
    ^

    Site is: https://www.art-by-pla.com/blog

    I also recently updated version.php and rewrite.php per this post and no luck.

    Sorry for the slow reply but it happens when I try to add an ATOM feed

    https://questions.vox.com/library/posts/atom.xml

    it keeps returning this message…
    Error: could not find an RSS or ATOM feed at that URL.

    am I doing something wrong maybe?

    Hey Everyone,

    So just like everyone else here, I ran into the same thing, and it *really* annoyed me because most of my friends use RSS to follow me (i mean come on, who uses the browser now a days — we all do it from our cellphones ;)). Anyway, after busting my head for a few hours trying to learn how wordpress works, here’s the solution to everyone’s problem:

    Let me repeat, SOLUTION HERE^^^

    Good luck. Feel free to comment here/email me if you need any more info/help.

    I’m just a little confused by what you described in your post. Do I put a # in front of all the echo’s or do I have to copy and paste that code into all my Feed files. I tried that way and it gave me an internal server error.

    O.K. so I found it and added the # and it still doesn’t work. Any other ideas? Or am I doing it wrong?
