    Any help to diagnose would be appreciated.

    digging deeper it appears as though rewrite rules (for the seo framework only) are not being honored…

    I’m able to access at index.php?the_seo_framework_sitemap=xml

    rewrite rules for the seo framework are present in the database

    Hi there ??

    “ERROR: This is not a valid feed template.” is not invoked by The SEO Framework.

    Instead, it’s outputted by WordPress when trying to load a feed, TSF doesn’t call this: https://developer.www.ads-software.com/reference/functions/do_feed/

    There must be a plugin or theme activated that tries to output feeds where it shouldn’t.
    I think a simple “deactivating plugins one by one” routine will help you find the conflicting plugin. Please advise when you’ve found the culprit. Thanks!

    Hey there ??

    I was able to suss it out…?sorry for not doing so before posting, just figured there might be a simple reason.

    Turns out I had my own rewrite rule in effect that was too aggressive for a podcast feed. It was catching and rewriting any .xml file.

    Refined my rewrite and all is good.

    Thanks!
