Never mind. I switched to the Fast Secure Contact Form and the attachments are going through with no issues. So the problem was the plugin and not my web host.

OK. I finally figured out the problem. It was the mySTAT plugin. I disabled the mySTAT plugin and all the feeds work. This was affecting all 3 blogs that I run or administer.

I was never told of the exact fix. I am pretty sure that it was on the web host’s end from the verbiage of the email.

I contacted my web host and it was a MySQL issue on their end which they promptly resolved. The plugin is working properly now.

This is frustrating! I am suddenly having almost the same issue. Some of the links work like the overview. I can see the totals for the Popular Posts stat, but not the stats for the individual posts. The stats in the Geography section work fine.

At first, I thought that it could be the scheduler because this happened right after the first time I used it. However, I checked my wife’s blog and she is having the same problem. Her blog is using a completely different database. It’s definitely not a browser issue because I looked at the stats in IE and Firefox.

I am using myStat 2.6 as well.

I’m experiencing a huge delta between what my dashboard states Akismet is catching and what Akismet states its catching.

Dashboard:

Akismet has protected your site from 15 spam comments already, but there’s nothing in your spam queue at the moment.

Akismet:

3 spams caught, 0 legitimate comments, and an overall accuracy rate of 100.000%.

Ask your host for the headers of one of the emails. I had one person complain to my web host about an alleged spam. My web host provided me with the headers. Basically, somebody posted a link to one of my articles in a Usenet newsgroup. As you know, people will post links in online forums. I did follow up with the complainer to find out what the real issue was and the guy was not very nice. I did a Google search on him and came to find out that he’s a anti-spam zealot. I also retrieved his ip address from his email reply and banned him from my site.

If you provide you with headers and there’s an originating ip address in there, just ban the ip address from your blog and delete the user account if appropriate.

I have tried replacing every rss file with no luck. The https://www.theupperdeck.com/?feed=comments-rss2 is working fine. RSS, RSS2, and Atom are not working.

Here’s another suggestion that a validator gave me for
https://www.theupperdeck.com/?feed=rss2 :

“The URL you entered does not appear to be a valid feed. We encountered the following problem: The URL does not appear to reference a valid XML file. We encountered the following problem: Error on line 116: The reference to entity “id” must end with the ‘;’ delimiter.”

And here’s the code for line 116 again:

<img style='margin:0;padding:0;border:0;' width='1px' height='1px' src="https://www.theupperdeck.com/wp-content/plugins/mystat/mystat.php?act=time_load&id=431&rnd=879444523" /></channel>

Where would I place the ‘;’ and which file would I replace it in?

Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion, but it did not work. The plugin pretty much states that every php files “has tail blank lines”, then states “Now your wordpress rss feed is fixed successfully, please check your wordpress rss feed from https://www.theupperdeck.com/feed”.

There was a warning prior to installing that this plugin is untested with my version of WP.

This problem is driving me nuts!

There was a problem with the theme, so I changed it out and everything looks good.

I used a theme that I generated at https://www.yvoschaap.com/wpthemegen/.

I just looked at the page in IE again and it is also screwed up. I did change the sidebar.php this morning to change the font range of the tags. Is it possible that’s what cause it? I am not at home to try to restore the original sidebar.php file.

You were right. The code is in the sidebar.php. Thanks for your help!
