That is a strange problem.
The strange thing is that all of the RSS and ATOM feeds of your blog show the same problem.
But podPress influences the <title> tag of a feed only if it is a category feed or podPress Feed. It does not modify the title of the main blog feed (e.g. example.com/feed or example.com/?feed=rss2).
That is why I think it is possible that this particular problem is maybe caused by a different plugin or at least in combination with another plugin.
Did you installed new plugins recently?
Which other plugins do you use?

The plugin (or theme) which modifies the titles of the feeds of your uses probably the action hook the_title_rss. Does any of the .php files of the plugins (besides podPress) contain this phrase? Which ones?
Hey Tim,
thanks for the quick response!
It is a strange problem indeed. if it helps: it occured first after updating podpress (from the second latest version I guess) to the current one. I updated wp-tweet-button simultaneously, but deactivated it afterwards.
I have installed these plugins:
akismet
akismet-credit-inserter
buddypress
bwp-recaptcha
comment-notifier
flattr
like
podpress (of course)
spam-free-wordpress
wp-tweet-button
wptouch
none of these uses the phrase ‘the_title_rss’.
Of my plugins, only these are constantly activated:
akismet
akismet-credit-inserter
bwp-recaptcha
flattr
like
podpress (of course)
spam-free-wordpress
wptouch
I had another Feed-Problem with
wp-tweet-button:
line 123, column 0: style attribute contains potentially dangerous content: width:55px;height:22px;background:transparent url(‘http://www.dirtyminutesleft.de/wp-content/plugins/wp-tweet-button/tweetn.png’) no-repeat 0 0;text-align:left;text-indent:-9999px;display:block; (41 occurrences) [help]
> http://www.feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http://www.dirtyminutesleft.de/feed/podcast-feed/
which was why I deactivated it prior to starting this thread.
deactivating all of the plugins except podpress made (except for wp-tweet-button) no difference, the title-problem persisted. is it even possible for other plugins to interfere with yours if they’re deactivated?

Hello Arne,
you are right. None of the plugins is responsible for the duplicate feed titles.
It is your theme Graphene.
The file /wp-content/themes/graphene/includes/theme-head.php includes a function which gets applied to the filter hook wp_title (see the laast line in that file add_filter( 'wp_title', 'graphene_title', 10, 3 ); ).
The wp_title hook filter can be used to influence not all kind of titles like the title of a page. WordPress functions like get_wp_title_rss and wp_title_rss which create the title of the RSS and ATOM feeds use also the function wp_title which contains the hook with the same name. That is why the function graphene_title influences the feed titles too.
In line 458 of the theme-head.php you can find the » which makes the feeds invalid. The problem is that such character entity references are almost not allowed in XML. besides 5 exception it is necessary to use the numerical entity reference (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Html_entities#XML_character_references). In this case it would be correct to use ». But the that will not change the doubled feed titles.
Modifying the titles via Graphene Theme Options > Display > Miscellaneous Display Options seems also not helpful if it comes to the doubled titles.
I guess since the modifications of the feed titles does not seem intentional, it would be okay to modify the section from line 452 to 459 in the file theme-head.php like this:
if ( is_feed() ) {
$title = $default_title;
} else {
if ( $graphene_settings['custom_site_title_content'] ) {
$title = $graphene_settings['custom_site_title_content'];
$title = str_replace( '#site-name', get_bloginfo( 'name' ), $title );
$title = str_replace( '#site-desc', get_bloginfo( 'description' ), $title );
$title = str_replace( '#post-title', $default_title, $title );
} else {
$title = $default_title . " » " . get_bloginfo( 'name' );
}
}
This will prevent the theme from modifying the title if a certain title is in a feed.
Your solution works like a charm!
Absolutely awesome, Thank you very much! 🙂
Regards,
Arne

(You are not the only one who has noticed this problem. see http://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/theme-graphene-problem-with-feedburner If you follow the link in this other thread you will see a different solution which will transform the html entity into its hexadecimal numeric reference. But I’m not sure whether it will help with the doubled feed titles.)
