    • RSS feed of a blog shows blank page,

    Posted by George Greene posts: 257 United States

    I have a few blogs on my site. All of them (EX: http://pocketprogressive.org/tiki-blog_rss.php?blogId=2 ) work fine when I click the RSS button -I see the feed in Firfox's live bookmarks and in other RSS readers.

    One of the blogs( http://pocketprogressive.org/tiki-blog_rss.php?blogId=5 ), though, results in a blank page. W3 validator says:



    ''Sorry
    This feed does not validate.

    line 1, column 0: XML parsing error: :1:0: no element found help


    In addition, interoperability with the widest range of feed readers could be improved by implementing the following recommendation.

    Feeds should not be served with the "text/html" media type help

    I have perms set for all blogs so anonymous can view the blog
    This particular blog, I added a logo into the header. Commented in or out still a blank page. I restored the original header code and still no go.

    Not sure where to go from here. I have been using Tiki 6.2 and I just upgraded to 6.3 to see if that helps but still a blank page.

    The blog is creating an invalid RSS for some reason. From a quick glance, the only thing I see is that you're using an image in the blog headers. This should be OK, but the blog is creating a lot of invalid markup (see here, for details).

    At a minimum, I would fix the IMG tag for your blog header. Remember: Any custom code you add must be valid XHTML.

    HTH,

    Thanks Rick!

    One blog post had some social media sharing shmutz in the source code that I could not see (parts were likely cut and pasted from an article somewhere). Trashed the post and it woiks!
