#2 rss feed not validating
Closed: Fixed None Opened 8 years ago by ryanlerch.

First reported here: https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ticket/206

Hi, I was referred here by #fedora-websites. The RSS feed for the Fedora Magazine does not validate anymore: <​https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Ffedoramagazine.org%2Ffeed%2F>.

Thunderbird 38.3.0 (on F22) doesn't let me add the feed anymore, claiming it is invalid. The last time it was able to fetch the feed was the "What is an init system?" post.


I think we are hitting this issue --

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-20-feeds-not-validating-because-of-a-blank-line

content.php had a couple of blank lines at the top after the last update to the theme. I have fixed this in place on the live magazine, but we will need to wait until another post is posted before we know if this fix has worked.

A new post was added today, but the RSS feed isn't validating yet :/

Okies, found a few more blank lines at the tail of some files. Have tested this updated theme on the stg.fedoramagazine.org, and no more blank line in the rss feed.

Have made a new release, so we just need to get this new theme installed on the prod version of magazine.

Okies, the new theme is on the Magazine, and the feed is now valid. It still produces some warnings due to the content in the magazine, but is valid now.

cheers,

Thank you very much, it's working again :D
