misu did you update to version 1.6.1 just released? The problem you are having is that there is extra whitespace at the top of your XML document, and this new version fixed a bug that could cause problem.

Is your template type set to “RSS Page”?
#5 / Nov 13, 2007 3:24pm
yes
#6 / Nov 13, 2007 3:25pm
Do you mind emailing (not PM please) me both super admin and FTP access, please? It should not be behaving in that manner.
#7 / Nov 13, 2007 3:32pm
sent a email to you

Small bug in whitespace with the RSS output, which I have fixed on your server, and will roll into the download shortly.

I’m having the same problem as misu and am using the same build. I’m just using the default RSS template that was first installed. What was the fix that you made Derek?

Download a fresh copy, Tyssen, and replace your /system/core/core.output.php file.

Found on forum search. Just updated as well or same reason.
I still get though:
line 969, column 4: Missing atom:link with rel=“self”
This is supposed to be rss 2, why atom reference?
Solution (From validator)
If you haven’t already done so, declare the Atom namespace at the top of your feed, thus:<rss version=“2.0” xmlns:atom=“http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom”>
Then insert a atom:link to your feed in the channel section. Below is an example to get you started. Be sure to replace the value of the href attribute with the URL of your feed.<atom:link href=“http://dallas.example.com/rss.xml” rel=“self” type=“application/rss+xml” >
Also why the error? Is same template 1.6 came with…

What’s your feed template look like, Bruce? The default templates are available here to compare.
