XML Parsing Error: mismatched tag

Go to Users -> Your Profile.
Type in a Nickname.
Save.

Try again and see if it doesn’t work better.

HandySolo: thanks for the tip! That worked great, thanks a lot! BTW: Nice blog.

Didn’t work for me I still have the same problem

@cantregister: Do you? Would you share a link to the blog in question?

https://kirknews.net/wordpresstest/

I’m sorry,

https://kirknews.net/wordpresstest/

Your feeds are there and they “almost” validate ??
https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fkirknews.net%2Fwordpresstest%2F%3Ffeed%3Drss2#l93

mmm… so what does that mean for me? How can I fix? Thanks

Moshu,

the “almost” validate, is that good?

So, I need to make those changes suggested at the URL you sent me too? I’ll do that, thanks

Basically, yes.
In the wp-rss2.php you should replace RSS with Rss – that’s for sure.

I have no idea why do you have the other warnings. Maybe it’s just some bad code in the test posts…

You know how when you make a new WordPress blog, there’s that first default post in the blog? Well, it’s broken. Always.

The pubDate failed because the very first post in any given WordPress blog always has a zero date, which results in PHP giving that 1969/1970 date. Same goes for the GUID, the first post always has an empty GUID.

Both of these issues are easily solved, however. Delete the very first post.

Thanks, Otto!
I had some a similar suspicion based on “feeling”… I just don’t have the coder knowledge to put it in words as nicely as you did ??

Worked. Thanks moshu and otto42.
Wordpress community rocks!
