 * Hi,
 * On my blog, it seems I have a RSS feed error : [http://fafaillestudio.com/feed/](http://fafaillestudio.com/feed/)
   
   I don’t know how to fix it. Could you please help me on this point ?
 * I’ve noticed that my posts were not automatically published anymore on the site:
   [http://www.hellocoton.fr](http://www.hellocoton.fr) (before it worked very well).
 * Here the error log :

 * I can see that in your Error Log, where it says “Failed to fetch feed”, that 
   the URL if the feed source is not [http://fafaillestudio.com/feed/](http://fafaillestudio.com/feed/),
   but in fact [http://fafaillestudio.com/](http://fafaillestudio.com/)
 * Can you confirm this? Try including the “feed/” suffix if it is not included 
   in the URL.
 * Furthermore, check that there are no spaces or empty characters before and after
   the URL in the text field.

 * Thanks for your reply !
 * But when I check the feed link, I have this error message :
 * This feed does not validate.
    line 3, column 0: XML parsing error: <unknown>:
   3:0: XML or text declaration not at start of entity [help] <?xml version=”1.0″
   encoding=”UTF-8″?>
 * Do you know where I can find the file in the directory (ftp) to update the URL?
   It could be very useful !
 * Many thanks for your help !

 * You update the URL from the plugin, not from a file.
    WordPress Admin > WP RSS
   Aggregator > Feed Source > Edit the feed source > URL field
 * The feed source URL should have the “/feed/” at the end.
 * Furthermore, is [http://fafaillestudio.com/](http://fafaillestudio.com/) your
   own site, or is it [http://www.hellocoton.fr/](http://www.hellocoton.fr/) ?

 * Ok, I’ve already done this update on the plugin.
 * My blog is well this one : [http://fafaillestudio.com](http://fafaillestudio.com).
   
   But the issue for me is that I can’t publish on another site called [http://www.hellocoton.fr](http://www.hellocoton.fr).
   Normally my posts are published automatically from my blog to this site and since
   1 month it is no more the case. It seems to be linked with the feeds. Do you 
   know what could block the on-line ?

 * Are you using the Feed to Post add-on, or just WP RSS Aggregator on its own to
   publish to the second site?

 * I’m using WP RSS Aggregator.
    But no need to have it to publish on Hellocoton.
   It’s automatic with the pluggin Helloton.

 * Do you have any plugins that change the WordPress feed?
    I can see that the feed
   has the following first two lines:
 * <!– ngg_resource_manager_marker –><!– Generated in 0, 459 seconds. Made 8 queries
   to database and 33 cached queries. Memory used – 7.84MB –>
    <!– Cached by DB 
   Cache Reloaded Fix –>
 * This will make the RSS feed invalid since the line starting with “<?xml …” should
   be the first line, and is currently the third line, due to those first to lines.
 * Do you have any plugins named NGG Resource Manager or DB Cache Reloaded Fix, 
   that have options to remove these lines?

 * Thanks for your reply !
    Could you tell me where I can reach this code to change
   it ? I don’t find it. I have the DB Cache Reloaded Fix pluggin.

 * I’m not sure how to remove those comment lines. You might have to ask the developer
   of that plugin on their own forum.
 * You can find that code in the RSS feed. If you open the feed [http://fafaillestudio.com/feed/](http://fafaillestudio.com/feed/)
   in your browser, they are the first two lines. Although, now I only see the first
   line. I’m guessing you fixed the issue with DB Cache Reloaded Fix.
