I am studying B.Tech in a Godavari Institute of Engg & Tech located at Rajahmundry,Andhra Pradesh,INDIA. I am basically interested in blogging.Here i will share all my feelings and experience with you.
Hi friends.
Nearley from 20 days i.e,from i upgraded to latest Wordpress version my feed is unavailable because of the error
XML Parsing Error: syntax error
Location: http://www.devilsduke.com/feed/
Line Number 5, Column 2: Devils Duke . com
——–^
Basically this problem is because of the white blank spaces before <? and after ?> tags in php files.
Immediately i went to wordpress.org forum and i posted my problem there.I got some good support in that majority of people suggest me to use the plugin Fix-RSS-Feed
I used that plugin and i fixed all errors that the plugin shows using a single click.But still my feed showing errors.But that error is not same as above.It is in I row, II column.But the problem is same.Again i went to wordpress.org forums and i started searching.I really searched so many posts.Finally i got the solution in those forums.Here it is..
First you open your feed-rss2.php stored in your wp-includes/feed-rss2.php and search for the following code
header(‘Content-Type: ‘ . feed_content_type(‘rss-http’) . ‘; charset=’ . get_option(‘blog_charset’), true);
$more = 1;
and add the following code immediately after the above code
$out = ob_get_contents();
$out = str_replace(array(“\n”, “\r”, “\t”, ” “), “”, $input);
ob_end_clean();
Now open up your feed-rss2-comments.php, feed-rss.php, feed-rdf.php, feed-atom.php, feed-atom-comments.php and do the same as above.Now save them and replace the existing files with these modified one’s.Now you can see your working feed.
