 * Hello, I’ve a wordpress site that RSS feed isn’t working.
    I want to be able 
   to share my stories to social media using a plugin or IFTTT solution but there’s
   error on the RSS feed.
 * I checked with W3 RSS validator and here’s what I got: [https://prnt.sc/25vyaok](https://prnt.sc/25vyaok)
 * When I view my feed on the browser it’s okay but doesn’t work with RSS techs…
   the feed URL is [https://www.naijashowbiz.com/feed/](https://www.naijashowbiz.com/feed/)
   I appreciate your help

 * Hi, [@mybrandreview](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mybrandreview/) – Happy
   New Year!
 * How is the video included with the post? Is this through a separate plugin or
   custom field? I ask because when viewing the post’s URL, there is no video embedded
   in the page.
 * Is `media:content` and `media:player` added to the feed through custom code in
   your theme? If you can update this code directly, then this may help:
 * The underlying validation error indicates:
 * > Missing media:player attribute: url
 * Per RSS 2.0 specs ([https://www.rssboard.org/media-rss#media-player](https://www.rssboard.org/media-rss#media-player))
   the URL should be an _attribute_, not an element value.
 * What is in the feed:
 * > `<media:player>https://www.youtube.com/embed/YcbKQxj2FFY</media:player>`
 * What the validator expects:
 * > `<media:player url="https://www.youtube.com/embed/YcbKQxj2FFY" />`
 * HOWEVER, since the parent `media:content` element _already includes a `url` attribute_,
   you shouldn’t need the `media:player` element at all!
 * Your already valid `media:content` element:
 * > `<media:content url="https://www.youtube.com/embed/YcbKQxj2FFY" medium="video"
   > width="1280" height="720">`
 * So if you were to omit the `media:player` child element from the RSS output, 
   it should resolve this validation error.
