Thanks very much – I missed that first time! Problem solved.

The solution was entering the term “category” into the feed:

Thanks Santeven I did try some of those variations. kmessinger I have posted dozens of posts. I tried posting a new post in that category but that didn’t work. Not sure what’s going on. I tried adding posts in other categories too but none of my categories work as rss. I migrated the site today from a sub-directory. Would that have any bearing on it?

Well I’ve deleted it from style.css in my Divi theme and it has done the trick. Thank you!

Thank you – that must be it. Is there a way to add a line in my Child Theme CSS which would override it, rather than deleting it. Otherwise the issue will reappear each time my theme gets updated.

I get this too.

Notice: Undefined variable: lang in /home/**********/wp-content/plugins/yet-another-related-posts-plugin/classes/YARPP_Cache.php on line 359

Well it all seems to validate now but the sidebar is still displaced. Having spent the best part of a week on this, I’m pretty sure I will leave WordPress. Despite its appeal as a customisable tool I feel it is for more advanced coders – I just want to blog! Thanks for your help.

That’s strange – it just tells me that the page has tentatively passed validation. Is there another way of checking in more detail? And does that mean you can’t use the ￡ sign?

Thanks.

Thanks, Moshu, I have managed to eradicate all the apparent non-utf-8 errors. But now the sidebar has fallen down again. I tried validating the CSS but got this message which for the life of me I cannot find anything wrong on that line:
Please, validate your XML document first!
Line 131
Column 560
Invalid byte 1 of 1-byte UTF-8 sequence.

Ryan, you’re right. TypePad sucks in comparison. I’ve ordered a book on WordPress from Amazon. It hasn’t defeated me. Not yet. I’d love to know if anybody else finds it this difficult to get started. And Moshu, if you get a chance I would like to know how you got that detailed info. Thanks.

Thanks Ryan – your advice looks useful, although as ever with WordPress there is a lot to read. And Moshu – I have tried to validate my site several times but never managed to come up with the detailed info that you have. Not sure how you did that – how did you? When I check, it just says it won’t validate… Maybe this is all way too deep and I should go back to …TypePad. I’d have to pay but at least I’ll get to sleep at night. LOL

Thanks for your help, Yosemite. After reading the useful page and installing the Firefox toolbar, I am still none the wiser as to how to find the offending piece of code – I’ve no idea where to look. But I fixed it by deleting all the posts and re-importing them from my previous blog. Not something I would want to do every time I get a glitch, but it fixed it this time.

Only thing is, anyone know why the little (java?) buttons to resize the font etc don’t work in Jakarta template?

I am such a newbie to WordPress that I don’t even know where or how I should find line 191. Is it in one of the files I can see in ‘Theme Editor’? Or am I missing something I shouldn’t?

Thanks.

Lucky Dog – your site works fine in Firefox but not IE. If anyone can help, I have the same problems as Lucky Dog and have tried the same things, but the problem is in both IE and Firefox.

The result I get is as follows:

Sorry, I am unable to validate this document because on line 191 it contained one or more bytes that I cannot interpret as utf-8 (in other words, the bytes found are not valid values in the specified Character Encoding). Please check both the content of the file and the character encoding indication.

I am really not sure where to check – I have looked in Theme Editor but know sure how to progress from there. Could it mean something as simple as the fact that I have used an ‘e’ with a French accent in one of the posts?
