RSS2 Feed Contribution

Yep looking at the source of your file, the head section of your site is being included at the top of the rss file, that will definitely kill it.

nigelt74,

could you respond to my question in post #821, Thanks!

**boutiqueshops** · 7 Mar 2011, 07:43 AM

what have you altered from the default as the xml should be the first line NOT the 24th

when i look at your page via opera i see the following

Quote:
21: <script type="text/javascript" src="includes/templates/ashley_pink/jscript/jscript_easySlider.js"></script>
22: <script type="text/javascript" src="includes/templates/ashley_pink/jscript/jscript_jquery.js"></script>
23: </head>
24: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

Have you hacked the RSS file trying to add your template and theme?

If so remove it and return it to the original condition, this is meant to be seen in a feed reader not in a browser, so adding the html stuff kills it

I most certainly have NOT hacked the RSS file NOR my template to try to combine them.

The RSS feed DID work on this site a few days ago, before I tried to install SEO url mods...I should have known better; none of those appear to work.

I also had a Static Rss Feed Sidebox that I was thinking could be conflicting and so, I just removed it.

In FIREFOX, this is what I see for source:

<div id="mainWrapper">

Line 24 is a BLANK line; Line 25 is the RSS Specials (first line) of the feed.

In IE, Line 24 is the RSS Specials line. By the way, when I try to subscribe to the feeds in IE, I get this error:

Internet Explorer does not support feeds with DTDs.

So, does this feed contain a DTD (Document Type Definition)? DTDs are used to define a structure of a webpage. Internet Explorer does not support DTDs in feeds.

So where does that leave my problem?

as you can see line 24 is where the rss file starts, everything before it shouldn't be there.

you don't perchance have some leftover rewrite rule in your .htaccess file from the seo things?

**boutiqueshops** · 7 Mar 2011, 03:30 PM

Good morning! Sorry I pooped out last night (this early morning). I'd been working on this site for almost 2 days straight.

Nigel, I did find a leftover SSU .htaccess file in the root directory, which I have now replaced. Some of these uninstalls are not "clean" uninstalls, are they?

As far as the order of things, I went to this link:

http://www.picaflor-azul.com/free-de...id=ashley_pink

which is the demo of the template I'm using. The source for that is the same as mine except for the canonical link reference. Now *after* that section is a whole other story. omg....

I'm going to finish my coffee and probably drink another pot.

Any insights?

Check your admin and see if gzip compression is turn on if it is turn it off and see if that has any effect.

**boutiqueshops** · 7 Mar 2011, 04:16 PM

Good morning, countrycharm!

gzip was on...now it's off. Interesting...a page full of data, some of which I had selected NOT to appear in the RSS feed (like price), and some of it repeated twice.

Good Morning to you.
You can click the Rss Feed button at the bottom of the page with chrome, and IE8 to see whats going on. I see pictures and a lot more. Something is not quite installed right. Go back and re-check each file to see if they are in there correct location and check manually to make sure there is no extra lines and spaces in the language and other additional files.
