 * I get the following error validating a feed on my server.
 * Error while processing content unencoding: too many length or distance symbols.
   Failed to download feed from [http://www.journeyofpossibilities.com/feed/exploringpossibilities/](http://www.journeyofpossibilities.com/feed/exploringpossibilities/).
   Did not finish feed tests.
 * But the feed is working on Itunes and Stitcher. Can you tell me what I am missing?
 * Thanks

 * Does no one have an answer for this? I am using the PowerPress podcasting pluging
   and it does not vaildate the feed properly and it seems that it is causing issues
   with some other Podcachers when they try to pick up the feed. One in particular
   is Podbean

 * I’m not able to load your feed in the browser. It just comes up blank.
 * I’m able to load this feed from your site: [http://www.journeyofpossibilities.com/feed/podcast/](http://www.journeyofpossibilities.com/feed/podcast/)
 * Is that other feed a Channel feed?

 * Yes it is a channel feed. Does that work differently?

 * Normally it’s not different. But something is preventing that feed from loading.
 * Likely a conflict of some sort.
 * In the PowerPress settings > Feeds menu, make sure you have the “Do not allow
   other plugins….” checkbox checked and save changes.
