Question about RSS feed-errors

Discussion in 'WordPress' started by awundrin, Feb 10, 2010.

    A couple of my blog's readers left me recent comments saying that they were having trouble...said when they tried to subscribe via RSS feed that they were receiving an error. How can I check/remedy this?

    Thanks,

    Go to feedvalidator.org and paste in your feed URL there. It will validate wether it is good or not.
    I think I would ask the people who left comments which reader they were trying to view your RSS in as well to make sure there is not some incompatibility with one particular reader.

    Hope that helps,

    A few spammers are also using this technique to try and get comments (backlinks) onto the site, so make sure they aren't pulling your leg first before you waste too much time with it.. if you can subscribe to your feed... then your feed is most likely fine.
