So Frustrated with RSS feed. Please Help!

    I have spent hours trying to figure out why RSS feed will not work on one of my little sites.

    I disabled all plug ins.
    Copied text from a fresh install over to the site in case I made a script error.
    RSS works on another site where I installed the same theme to see if it was a theme error (it must not be since it works on the other site)
    I also changed the theme to default theme and RSS still does not work.

    Nothing works...

    I checked with feedburner and it says I have an error:

    • line 16, column 16: lastBuildDate must be an RFC-822 date-time: [help]

    However, I do not know where I would correct the date issue. Is it corrected in my control panel where I host the site or is it corrected at the wordpress site itself?

    The site is http://www.workathomemomcenter.com

    Thank you.

    Have you try to upgrade your WP version? Some files might corrupt

    Yes I have the latest version of WP on my site.

    Are you saying when I upgraded I may have corrupted files? Or to install latest version?

    If I corrupted files....what should I do to correct the error?

    I gather this is the feed in question? http://www.workathomemomcenter.com/feed/

    That link is giving me a 404 message. A quick check of your site shows that you have no Post content that I can see. I only see pages. The rss feed is for Posts, not pages. For a feed to work, you need Post content.

    Please give this a read:

    http://help.edublogs.org/2009/08/01/the-differences-between-posts-and-pages/

    If that's not the url for your rss feed, please supply it.

    The timestamp error you are receiving is because the timestamp is empty. It's empty because you have no Posts on your site. Make a Post, it'll fill in the timestamp and the error will go away.

    Hope this helps,

    Not a problem. A lot of folks get confused between Posts and Pages if they're new to wordpress.
