I am fairly new to the world of RSS feeds, but I do have a fair amount of knowledge concerning PHP and such. After completing a custom template and everything for my site, the RSS feed seems to not work. This is my current RSS page:

http://joshellington.com/plog/index.php?x=rss

As you can see, the format is not what its supposed to be. If anyone could shed some light on this, it would be greatly appreciated.

check if there is extra spaces before <?php and after ?> tags of the files you modified.
check that all of your php files are saved in ANSI mode. (all you modified)
and check the language file you use. If it has UTF-8 it should not have the utf-8 extra characters at the top. (use UniEdit to see that if it has such characters)

1) take off "<!-- start --></i>" from the top of the template, comments only in <head> or <body>

2) as I said a hundred times already, everything is in UTF-8 in Pixelpost, so take off
"<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />" and change that to"<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />" grrrrr...................;=(

3) validate your page at : http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A//joshellington.com/plog/index.php

at least 5 errors, not closed tags etc.

so I am sure, when you fixed this, there could be better RSS ;=)

good luck!

why should rss be related to template?!

Ramin,

yes, that's what I thought of later, as well, I was at a wrong trip..

so take this just as a suggestion

But: when I open the URL in firefox, it is delivering RSS, everything is ok, so what's the problem?

I can open that in FireFox, in Opera, it is working!

JosHellington,

I'm quite sure you are not using PixelPost 1.4.2, otherwise the referer-link, which you should take off from your page to avoid spam, would not work any more

in 1.4.2 we corrected also some RSS-features, so please update to the new version!

you can download it from here: www.pixelpost.org

good luck!
