Title: RSS Feed Problems Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # RSS Feed Problems * Resolved [danbru](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danbru/) * (@danbru) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-problems-19/) * My main events feed will not load. ([this](http://fbcmountjoy.brutech.net/events/feed/) or [this](http://fbcmountjoy.brutech.net?post_type=event&feed=rss2)) * Category feeds WILL load without any problems. * When I disable permalinks, feed validators will successfully display the main events feed xml, but MailChimp will fail to load it in a campaign. (However, MC will load a category feed just fine.) * Tried and tested everything I can think of… [BigDogSF’s solution didn’t change things.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/event-rss-feed?replies=10) * Any ideas? * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/events-manager/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/events-manager/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 21 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-problems-19/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-problems-19/page/2/?output_format=md) * [caimin_nwl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/caimin_nwl/) * (@caimin_nwl) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-problems-19/#post-5676605) * Sounds like a permalink issue caused by your theme or another plugin. Can you test with all other plugin deactivated and while using the default WordPress theme? If you re-save your permalinks after doing that does the feed appear? * Thread Starter [danbru](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danbru/) * (@danbru) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-problems-19/#post-5676632) * I disabled all plugins except EM and switched to Twenty Fifteen. I then selected default permalinks and saved the setting. * [http://fbcmountjoy.brutech.net?post_type=event&feed=rss2](http://fbcmountjoy.brutech.net?post_type=event&feed=rss2) * Chrome loaded the feed xml fine, but MailChimp still failed to display the feed in a campaign. (All my MC code is correct and I have feeds – even EM category feeds working there.) * If I enable pretty permalinks again, Chrome then fails to load the xml. * [http://fbcmountjoy.brutech.net/events/feed/](http://fbcmountjoy.brutech.net/events/feed/) * Thread Starter [danbru](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danbru/) * (@danbru) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-problems-19/#post-5676717) * Any more thoughts on this? * [caimin_nwl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/caimin_nwl/) * (@caimin_nwl) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-problems-19/#post-5676719) * Which version of Events Manager and WordPress are you using? * Thread Starter [danbru](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danbru/) * (@danbru) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-problems-19/#post-5676720) * Latest of both. * The fact that I am running the site on a subdomain effect anything? * Plugin Support [angelo_nwl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/angelo_nwl/) * (@angelo_nwl) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-problems-19/#post-5676732) * sorry for the confusion, but can you give us more details please (eg.
