Title: RSS problems Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # RSS problems * cgonyea * [22 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-problems-1-2/) * Apparently my RSS 2.0 feeds (especially my Mozilla one) have date issues. Despite the date and time appearing right in my blog (posts have the correct date and time), some old posts in my RSS 2.0 feeds have a date of 1969! Here is an example: [http://www.chrisgonyea.com/blog/wp-rss2.php?cat=3](http://www.chrisgonyea.com/blog/wp-rss2.php?cat=3) How can I fix this?

Also, have a problem with a slash being in the feeds where I have apostraphes in my posts. * [randybrown](https://wordpress.org/support/users/randybrown/) * (@randybrown) * [22 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-problems-1-2/#post-57257) * Also, why don’t WP’s RSS feed maintain accurate tag encoding? Why aren’t links that appear in the original post also preserved in the RSS feed? * Thread Starter Anonymous * [22 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-problems-1-2/#post-57359) * *bump* * [Michael Heilemann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michael/) * (@michael) * [22 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-problems-1-2/#post-57361) * *bump* (on the tag encoding issue) * Thread Starter Anonymous * [22 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-problems-1-2/#post-57368) * Anyone know what to do about this? I am lost, I have tried everything I can think of to get this to work 🙁 * Thread Starter Anonymous * [22 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-problems-1-2/#post-57395) * No one seems to know the answer 🙁 * [Sushubh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sushubh/) * (@sushubh) * [22 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-problems-1-2/#post-57396) * patience is a virtue. check the buglist on wiki. add it if it is missing. * [litlnemo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/litlnemo/) * (@litlnemo) * [22 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-problems-1-2/#post-57414) * I’m not having the date issue as far as I’m aware, but I am _definitely_ seeing the tag encoding issue. In fact, this is not new to 1.2 — I’m pretty sure the problem appeared in 1.0, because that’s when I started seeing it in the posts syndicated to LiveJournal. I didn’t report it then because I thought it was probably a LiveJournal issue, and it wasn’t a high priority for me, but now I see that it definitely _is_ coming from WP, not LJ. * [litlnemo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/litlnemo/) * (@litlnemo) * [22 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-problems-1-2/#post-57416) * Well, now I’m confused because I *do* see those tags in the RSS. I looked the other day and I swear they weren’t there. 😉 LJ appears to be grabbing the “description” part of the RSS instead of the “content:encoded”… any insight into this? * [anson-parker](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anson-parker/) * (@anson-parker) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-problems-1-2/#post-57605) * gmmktime and mktime – 2 otherwise nifty php commands – give errors when used on my server – fedora core2, runnin webmin install with php5.02. * will try a fix from the php.net site.. [has anyone tried to fix old funky dates with win_gmmktime](http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.gmmktime.php)? it works on test run thus far… will go live with it and see how it goes – adding it to the functions.php in the includes directory and replacing all the mktime/ gmmktime etc… Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) The topic ‘RSS problems’ is closed to new replies. * In: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) * 10 replies * 7 participants * Last reply from: [anson-parker](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anson-parker/) * Last activity: [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-problems-1-2/#post-57605) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
