# Cannot parse image from RSS

 * I’m creating an android app for my website which is WordPress. I’m having trouble
   parsing the post thumbnails from the RSS. I’ve tested my application with different
   websites and they work without a problem. For some reason it’s just WordPress
   websites that are causing the issue or at least my website…
 * I do have a img html tag within the description and content:encoded tags but 
   I created another to parse the image easier…
 * `<postthumb><![CDATA[<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>]]></postthumb>`
 * Description tag:
 *     ```
       <description>
        <![CDATA[
         <div>
          <a href=....<img title="..." src="....jpeg" alt="..." width="..." height="..." /></a>
         </div>
         <br/>
         ... […]
        ]]>
       </description>
       ```

 * There’s a [problem with your feed](http://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fythaber.com%2Findex.xml).
   Looks like a sluggish site or server.

 * Well, how can I resolve it whatever it is? Should I do a fresh wordpress install?

 * Try:
 * – deactivating **all** plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works,
   re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
 * – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
 * – [resetting the plugins folder](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause
   problems.
