just an update. its been a couple of days, and https://s2pmarketsignal.com/WordPress/feed/ is still showing blank, so the rss issue has nothing to do with characters in the site tagline.

Thanks, WPYogi. Good troubleshooting idea. I made changes in the tagline to eliminate “&” and “/”. But still no rss feed. I’ll keep it that way for a bit in case there is a delayed effect.

I fully understand that this issue isn’t occurring for most users so I am not surprised that you were not able to replicate it. I just need so help tracking down the cause by some one who is familiar with the Make code.

I have not made any manual edits to the theme files. It is possible that some other plugins made such edits, but if so, I have not been able to reverse them.

I am not using any child theme of Make.

Yes Make is up to date.

I have put a LOT of effort into customizing Make using the configuration options within Make, so I am not keen on the idea of losing all that work by uninstalling and re-installing it.

Have YOU personally looked at my issue to verify it?

I spent more time today on this trying to troubleshoot the issue by completely eliminating all plugins. No go. Only thing that works to fix the RSS feed is to change the theme from Make to something else.

Thanks, WPyogi. I think it was my initial posting of the rss code without the backquotes code escape that originally set it off.

Thanks for the response, Melissa. Nope, I’m not using a caching plugin. It seems to me that Make must be doing something that in my case produces a non-standard rss file that only robust feed reading engines like Feedly can read. Above is the rss feed from my browser. As you can see, it is cut off after the title. I don’t know what the stuff at the top is. Maybe that’s a clue?

trying to reply…

Thanks for your response, Melissa. Nope, I’m not using a caching plugin. I’m guessing that there must be some logic error in how Make produces the RSS feed IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. Robust RSS Feed reading engines are able to work around it, but standard ones (like a browser or WordPress widgets can’t. Here’s the RSS code that is currently being produced on my site as read by a browser. As you see it gets cut off right after the name. I don’t know what the stuff at the top is. Maybe that’s a clue?
