RSS-feed broke.

The entire RSS broke after using this plugin since the beginning.

There are a lot of error-messages that has shown up all of the sudden if one validates with validator.w3.org

This feed does not validate.
- line 67, column 1: Undefined item element: image (99 occurrences) [help]
  <image>
- In addition, interoperability with the widest range of feed readers could be improved by implementing the following recommendations.
  line 2, column 143: Use of unknown namespace: http://www.google.com/schemas/play-podcasts/1.0 %5B help]… casting/templates/feed-stylesheet.xsl”?><rss version=”2.0″
- line 91, column 83: itunes:subtitle should not contain HTML: ’ (18 occurrences) [help]
  </itunes:subtitle>
- line 97, column 83: itunes:summary should not contain HTML: ’ (23 occurrences) [help]
  </itunes:summary>
  Where do one even begin to debug when MailChimp won`t even give out error-reports.
  
  Please advice,
  Thank you

Hi @progtesting,

@progtesting

I would not use validator.w3.org for your feed validation, it’s not designed to correctly validate the podcast feeds. Instead, I recommend using Cast Feed Validator – https://www.castfeedvalidator.com/

I’ve just reviewed your feed and didn’t find any issues with it.

Do you experience any problems with submitting your feed to the podcast platforms, like Apple Podcasts?

I agree with you.

The problem is sending out emails from MailChimp, they claim the feed is broken.

All the other feeds, Itunes, X, Instagram and Facebook use this RSS-feed and it works.

I am not sure how too proceed.

Hi @progtesting,

If the issue is only occurring with Mailchimp and your RSS feed works fine with other services, it’s likely a problem on Mailchimp’s side. I recommend reaching out to their support team to investigate the issue and see if they can resolve it from their end.

Best regards,
Serhiy.
