Feed Not Being Fetched by Readers

When I validate the feed at feedvalidator.org, it validates with the following warning:

This feed is valid, but may cause problems for some users. We recommend fixing these problems.

* line 26, column 2: wfw:commentRSS should be wfw:commentRss (100 occurrences) [help]

I do not know how to fix it. Please help. Thank you.

well, odds are that’s not causing any feed readers to have issues. However, you can fix it by diving into wp-rss2.php (a “core” file in the main blog directory).

Search for commentRSS. In mine, we’d be on line 50.
Change this line:
<wfw:commentRSS><?php echo comments_rss(); ?></wfw:commentRSS>

to

<wfw:commentRss><?php echo comments_rss(); ?></wfw:commentRss>

Save the file, pull your feed again.

Thanks, HandySolo. That helped to resolve the fvaeed lidation issue.

Do you know how to resolve the fetching problem with readers and aggregators? I do not even know where to start.

Thanks,

Marian

mcrkon, I can’t help you much there. Bloglines is a great reader, but not always the fastest at discovering new posts.
With services like that, you’re often at their mercy as to when they wander by and pull your RSS to see if anything new has popped up.

I figure that if I can pull a feed manually (with a browser) and it’s current, that’s the most you can do on YOUR end. The rest is up to the reader software.

Just to clarify, the reader (Google) or aggregator (AppsZone) fetche all feed items through June 8. However, no items posted after this date are being aggregated.

When I look at the feed itself, its content seems to be up to date.

I tested Bloglines and Yahoo readers, and they fetch my contecnt OK. It only seems to be Google reader that I am having problems with. I will follow up with Google then. Thanks!
