Bob,
Here is some more info. If I disable the WordPress SEO plugin, the RSS feed works correctly. As soon as it’s enabled, the feed is corrupted. Here is the error: “error on line 6 at column 6: XML declaration allowed only at the start of the document” from Chrome on trying to open.
Here is the begining of each feed source:
Non-working feed source with SEO enabled:
<!– ngg_resource_manager_marker –>
<!–Plugin WP Missed Schedule 2013.1231.2013 Build 2014-08-16 Reloaded Active – Tag 6707293c0218e2d8b7aa38d418ffa608–>
<!– This website is patched against a big problem not solved from WordPress 2.5+ to date –>
<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
<rss version=”2.0″

xmlns:sy=”https://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/”
xmlns:slash=”https://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/”

And here is the working RSS source with SEO disabled:
<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
<rss version=”2.0″
xmlns:content=”https://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/”
xmlns:wfw=”https://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/”
xmlns:dc=”https://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/”

xmlns:sy=”https://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/”
xmlns:slash=”https://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/”
>
As far as I can tell, the only difference is the comments at the top of the feed but it looks like are causing the issue somehow. Is there a way to totally disable any RSS interaction with SEO?
Cheers,
Ray
