At last we have soemthing to try to solve the problem. I never downloaded any plug-ins but perhaps she did. * [therudeguy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/therudeguy/) * (@therudeguy) * [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-has-wrong-format/#post-299254) * macmanx, * Nope. NO plug-ins running on the site. I’m baffled. The person helping me is running Win XP and I am running WIN 98. I thought that might be a problem but she says it shouldn’t be. We are both using WordPress 1.5.2 as provided by the bluehost site. * [therudeguy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/therudeguy/) * (@therudeguy) * [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-has-wrong-format/#post-299361) * Anybody out there? * One of my feeds worked. Can’t figure out why. But I wonder if the problem is something to do with word press themes. I used red train for the blog, but I see my “helper” has started a page called Rude Guy 1. When I open that theme I get a blue banner across the top (different page) but all my posts are there. I wonder if there is some confusion between the theme pages. Does anyone know about that? * Also, if I click on “you” after “my” theme page I get some binary something web page. Goofy. * I did put the successful feed through feed burner. One worked one didn’t apparently. I’m lost. * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-has-wrong-format/#post-299364) * The blank line is typically caused by either a blank line at the top or bottom of a plugin file or a core WordPress file. Since there were no plugins running at the blog, then that would obviously not be the problem, so check all of your core WordPress files. The best way to do this would simply be to download a new copy of WordPress, delete all of the existing core files and upload new copies from the fresh download of WordPress. If the problem continues, then you must individually check each file. * [therudeguy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/therudeguy/) * (@therudeguy) * [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-has-wrong-format/#post-299431) * Resolved. * Unix could not process a “#” that I had in the title of my audio post. * thanks, * The Rude Guy Viewing 13 replies - 1 through 13 (of 13 total) The topic ‘RSS feed has wrong format’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [RSS](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/rss/) * In: [Alpha/Beta/RC](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/alphabeta/) * 13 replies * 5 participants * Last reply from: [therudeguy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/therudeguy/) * Last activity: [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-has-wrong-format/#post-299431) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
