I feel closer now. I’m using the Stuttering Theme and the entire footer.php is as follows:

<!– begin footer –>
</div>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
</div>

<?php do_action(‘wp_footer’); ?>
</body>
</html>

The references in sidebar.php don’t have the “feed:” in the URL’s but don’t appear to work when inserted. Is there somewhere else I should insert/remove “feed:”?

Thanks for both your patience and persistence!

Hmmm…if I go directly to https://logowalk.com/journal/wp-rss2.php, in IE I get the same error as clicking on the “RSS 2.0” link under “Meta” in the sidebar. It says:

The XML page cannot be displayed
The following tages were not closed: meta. Error processing resource ‘https://logowalk.com/journal/wp-rss2.php&#8217;.

In Opera I get:

XML parsing failed: xml processing instruction not at start of external entity (Line: 2, Character: 0)

Line 2 currently reads as:

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?>

In Netscape I get:

XML Parsing Error: xml processing instruction not at start of external entity
Location: https://logowalk.com/journal/wp-rss2.php
Line Number 2, Column 1:

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?>
^

Does anyone know the correct syntax for this line and in which file it needs to be corrected? If I were a puppy at the pound I’d be ready to be put to sleep…;-)

ifelse,

I haven’t changed the file and, in fact, re-downloaded it “just in case”. But…I’m woefully ignorant and would appreciate if you could tell me exactly what to do? Should I just delete that line or replace it with something else? Any assistance would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Please…someone…Bueller? Bueller? Anyone?…

I’ve spent most of the day trying to get mine to work (I’ve posted under “RSS Help”) but have found nothing close here, the WP Wiki, nor through a myriad of Google searches. Mine is located at https://logoswalk.com/journal/wp-rss2.php. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Is it possible for somone to provide the first 2 lines from their WORKING wp-rss2.php file (WP v.1.5) so I could compare with mine? Maybe that will resolve the issue? (I’m a glass is half-full kind-a guy…) Mine are:

<meta http-equiv=”content-type” content=”text/html;charset=iso-8859-1″>
<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?>

Yes, it is utf-8.

When I enter my blog (https://logoswalk.com/journal/wp-rss2.php) into Pluck, for instance, the error returned through feedvalidator is:

Sorry, This feed does not validate.

line 1, column 0: Undefined root element: meta

<meta http-equiv=”content-type” content=”text/html;charset=iso-8859-1″>

line 2, column 0: XML parsing error: <unknown>:2:0: xml declaration not at start of external entity

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?>

Source: https://logoswalk.com/journal/wp-rss2.php
1. <meta http-equiv=”content-type” content=”text/html;charset=iso-8859-1″>
2. <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?>

What is it I need to correct in these above 2 lines?

OK…that was so embarassingly simple I’m going to curl up in the fetal position with my bag of Doritos and suck my thumb intensely for an hour. ?? Thanks!
