    My RSS feed is not working properly with this plugin. The CDATA is duplicated in the title which is breaking the rest of the xml. Any tips for resolving this?

    I fixed this by removing line 90

    $title = '<![CDATA[' . $title . ']]>';

    Hi Thomas,

    Is that an atom feed? Can you check if the blog’s RSS feed works, without removing the CDATA line? The reason why that line is there is because (paraphrasing from a plugin contributor) only some HTML entities are permitted in valid RSS feeds, and glyphs expressed as HTML names rather than decimal codes will cause validation issues.

    Thanks!

    It was an Atom feed. It works fine with the RSS feed when I put the CDATA line back in. I’ve asked all my followers to switch to the RSS feed but I do suggest that someone implement a fix so that both feeds work.
