Hey there,
Sorry you’re having this problem. We don’t have any other reports like this, so it must be something unique with your configuration.
Are you using a caching plugin by chance?

Thanks for your response, Melissa. Nope, I’m not using a caching plugin. I’m guessing that there must be some logic error in how Make produces the RSS feed IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. Robust RSS Feed reading engines are able to work around it, but standard ones (like a browser or WordPress widgets can’t. Here’s the RSS code that is currently being produced on my site as read by a browser. As you see it gets cut off right after the name. I don’t know what the stuff at the top is. Maybe that’s a clue?

Thanks for the response, Melissa. Nope, I’m not using a caching plugin. It seems to me that Make must be doing something that in my case produces a non-standard rss file that only robust feed reading engines like Feedly can read. Above is the rss feed from my browser. As you can see, it is cut off after the title. I don’t know what the stuff at the top is. Maybe that’s a clue?
@dlpirl – sorry, your posts were mostly getting caught in the spam filter – posting that many (I deleted 10) repeatedly probably triggered it off.

Thanks, WPyogi. I think it was my initial posting of the rss code without the backquotes code escape that originally set it off.
Yep :)! It’s fussy sometimes – does weird stuff. Seems okay now! We (volunteer) mods try to keep a frequent eye on it, but it varies depending on who happens to be around. Sorry for the slowness today!

I spent more time today on this trying to troubleshoot the issue by completely eliminating all plugins. No go. Only thing that works to fix the RSS feed is to change the theme from Make to something else.
Hi there,
Sorry, I’m just not able to replicate this and we don’t have any other users reporting this…
Have you made any edits to your theme files?
Are you using a child theme of Make?
Is the parent theme/Make up to date?
Thread Starter

I have not made any manual edits to the theme files. It is possible that some other plugins made such edits, but if so, I have not been able to reverse them.
I am not using any child theme of Make.
Yes Make is up to date.
I have put a LOT of effort into customizing Make using the configuration options within Make, so I am not keen on the idea of losing all that work by uninstalling and re-installing it.
Have YOU personally looked at my issue to verify it?
I actually looked at it the other day – and just now I installed Make on a test site and it didn’t have any problems with a valid feed. Given where the error shows up in the feed validator, I’m wondering if it’s due to the ampersand in your title:
Bull/Bear P&F ratio
Might be totally unrelated, but might be worth checking?

Thanks, WPYogi. Good troubleshooting idea. I made changes in the tagline to eliminate “&” and “/”. But still no rss feed. I’ll keep it that way for a bit in case there is a delayed effect.
I fully understand that this issue isn’t occurring for most users so I am not surprised that you were not able to replicate it. I just need so help tracking down the cause by some one who is familiar with the Make code.

just an update. its been a couple of days, and http://s2pmarketsignal.com/WordPress/feed/ is still showing blank, so the rss issue has nothing to do with characters in the site tagline.
Not sure what else to suggest given that the problem seems specific to your site. You said you deactivated ALL of your plugins?
If I were you, I’d set up another installation of WP in a sub-directory and see if you get the same issue on a brand new install of Make theme – without adding anything else.
Hi @dlpirl,
Two further questions:
A) Which version of WordPress do you have?
B) If you turn on WP_DEBUG do you see anything further in the RSS feed? The way it cuts off like that makes me think there might be a PHP error…
