RSS Error

Here’s an interesting bit from https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fgravesinhas.com%2Ffeed%2F

This site requires Javascript to work, please enable Javascript in your browser or use a browser with Javascript support

Feeds should absolutely never require Javascript, and as Javascript can easily be switched off in the browser (and is sometimes recommended as a way to avoid security problems), really your site shouldn’t be requiring that either. (yes, of course many modern site functionality does require Javascript, but locking folks out without it is the wrong move entirely)

If I disable Javascript in my browser and attempt to visit your site, here’s all I see: https://d.pr/i/pRaH/lRb2kTJZ (which is exactly what feed readers are seeing)

So, this time, try deactivating all plugins (this time absolutely all of them, even security plugins and caches). If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.

If that does not resolve the issue, try switching to the Twenty Sixteen theme to rule-out a theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).

Thanks for the quick answer.

I deactivated absolutely all the plugins and switched to the Twenty Sixteen Theme and the issue still remains, that makes me think that the problem seems to be on the WordPress core files and not on the theme nor the plugins.

Now, could this JavaScript thing be the whole issue or do you think this is another problem?

Any ideas?

Yes, whatever is requiring Javascript is the problem, because feed readers don’t run Javascript.

There’s nothing in WordPress that will lock a visitor out if they don’t have Javascript, but sure let’s rule-out the core files anyway. Try downloading WordPress again, access your server via SFTP or FTP, or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel, and delete then replace your copies of everything on the server except the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory with fresh copies from the download. This will effectively replace all of your core files without damaging your content and settings.

Some uploaders tend to be unreliable when overwriting files, so don’t forget to delete the original files before replacing them.

If that doesn’t make any difference, are you using any caching systems? If so, which?

I uploaded all the core files from a new fresh download of WordPress (except wp-config.php and /wp-content/ directory) and the issue still remains, plus, now the pages on the top menu (below the header) on my site gets redirected to https://parked-domain.org/, and it does that even if I change the URL of any of those pages.

I have no idea what is going on.

I’m not using any cache system.

Thanks for the help, I’m really running in circles right now.

Update: It’s doing the redirection thing on the posts too.

Update 2: The redirection thing stopped by itself. Maybe some server thing. But the RSS issue remains.

Are you using any proxies, like Cloudflare, Sucuri, or Incapsula?

Sorry for the late answer.

No, I’m not using proxy of any kind. Could this be a server thing?

Thanks for the help, by the way.

Yes, it could be, so I recommend checking with your hosting provider at this point.
