RSS feed issue in WP

I just noticed that my RSS feed for posts is messed. up. go to http://theguitarresource.com/ and click the feed in the top right and see the error message. I don't know how this happened, but it was working yesterday. Please help! thanks!

 

Seems to be working fine to me.
I have this as your feed address:
http://theguitarresource.com/feed/

 

this is wierd. i tried multiple times from home and work and i get an error, plus my google webmaster tools says that that page had a 500 error...

 

Something is up, I get .....

XML Parsing Error: unclosed CDATA section
Location: http://theguitarresource.com/feed/
Line Number 93, Column 30: <content:encoded><![CDATA[
--------------------------------------------------^

 

feed works fine for me

 

that is what i get too. I just have no idea how it happened, what it means, or how to fix it

 

Run it through here and see what it says:
Feed Validator

 

What are the plugins your using?
When did you find this problem?

 

the only recent plugin i installed was FeedBurner FeedSmith, but it was working when i installed it. then yesterday i noticed it was broken b/c my google webmaster tools reporsted a 500 error for my feed url.

I even deactivated the plugin, but it didn't fix anything. and my comments feed button works like a charm. This problem is giving me a headache!

i looked in my RSS templates and all the sections with CDATA appear to have closing tags

 

Try overwriting the files with fresh ones....I mean wp-rss.php and wp-rss2.php .

 

It's funny, i actually just tried that right before i saw your message!

But it didn't work

I wonder if it is one of my posts? it seems to work fine until line 93:
http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http://theguitarresource.com/feed/
But still, that post has been up for a few weeks and the feed has been working fine until yesterday...

 

if you view the source of http://theguitarresource.com/feed/ i noticed that the last line of code is <content:encoded><![CDATA[ which is an oppening tag. The question is, do i need to figure out how to remove that? or do i need to figure out how to get something to show up after it that is supposed to?

 

Hmm,first switch to the default theme and see if the feed works.

 

another thing i just noticed:
I JUST added my rss feed to this forum so it shows my most recent post by my avatar, and it seems to be pulling my top sticky post, which is wierd since my RSS feed appears to be broken...

 

What's more weird,your feed works fine in FF but doesn't work in Opera.

 

The sticky post will always be first, that's the way you have it set.
It will show on top in feed readers,but if the reader only shows most recent, it will be that one.
At least that has been my experience.
Some one else may know a way to combat that.

 

http://theguitarresource.com/wp-rss.php is working fine..

 

Thanks for all of your help richie, i really really appreciate it!!!!

Fixed everyone!!!

 

but now i'm just confused why http://feeds.feedburner.com/theguitarresourcecom does not actually go to a feedburner page. see how my comments page looks:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/CommentsForTheGuitarResource

(it just never ends )

 

I am not sure what you mean but everything seems to be working here.
Can you attach a screenshot of you what see?
