 * My site only has pages, so I installed RSS Includes Pages.
 * When I try to validate my site via [http://feedvalidator.org](http://feedvalidator.org),
   it gets the following error:
 * `line 62, column 60: guid values must not be duplicated within a feed: http://
   example.com (9 occurrences) [help]`
 * where line 62 is:
 * `<guid isPermaLink="false">http://example.com</guid>`

 * I don’t get this error. I just validated my feed and you can see the results 
   here:
 * [http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.mariosalexandrou.com%2Fmarios-alexandrou](http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.mariosalexandrou.com%2Fmarios-alexandrou)
 * Are you going through Feedburner or just using the feed directly from your site?

 * I am getting the same exact error.
 * I only get the error message when I have the RSS Includes Pages plug-in enabled.
   If I disable the plug-in my feeds validate with absolutely no errors.

 * I’m having exactly the same error, whether I use Feedburner or just use the feed
   directly.
 * It only occurs when I have RSS Includes Pages enabled and goes away when I disable
   it.
 * Somehow, the line <guid isPermaLink=”false”>[http://example.com</guid&gt](http://example.com</guid&gt);
   is getting repeated in the feed, which is causing the problem.

 * If any of you are willing to post your actual feed URLs, I’d be happy to check
   them out. I can’t reproduce the error with my own site.

 * Marios, I just sent you the feed on your contact page.

 * Someone shared with me their feed where the GUID problem exists. Unfortunately,
   this value is being pulled from the WordPress database and isn’t something the
   RSS Includes Pages plugin creates or modifies. So if the value is blank in the
   database (which it appears to be hence the error about duplicates) then your 
   feed won’t validate.
 * If you’re familiar with MySQL, you can go into your WordPress database and add
   a unique value to the GUID field in the WP_POSTS table. Of course, if you have
   a lot of pages this isn’t a particularly good solution.
 * There was a plugin that would’ve corrected this issue ([http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/guid-fix/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/guid-fix/)),
   but it looks like the author is no longer supporting it and has indicated that
   his solution is no longer the correct one. I’m going to contact him to see if
   he knows of another fix. Might help if he heard from others too!

 * Thanks for the help Marios.
 * Hopefully someone can find a solution.
