    I’m trying to set up my RSS feed for my site, and I tried to validate it using validator.w3.org. I was given this error.

    “Congratulations!

    This is a valid RSS feed.

  • Have you tried:

    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.

    – resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

    Now I just get the one error about line 12 column 8. How can I go in somewhere and just put something between <title> and </title>? What do I need to put there when I get in?

    Try giving your site a title via Settings -> General.

    It has one. I’ll try deleting it and putting it back?

    Ok, now it’s fixed that and back to the 240 code. I’m going to try to fix that one by editing the post it’s giving an error on.

    I FINALLY got it to work by deleting a youtube video embedded on one of my posts. Weird? Oh well, hopefully it’ll help me get my RSS up and running!
