# XML Error

 * My latest podcast episode (#46) didn’t update in the iTunes store. Previously
   I haven’t had any problems. When validating the feed, which is: [http://castfeedvalidator.com/?url=http://theelearningcoach.com/feed/podcast/](http://castfeedvalidator.com/?url=http://theelearningcoach.com/feed/podcast/)
 * I get this error:
    [http://castfeedvalidator.com/cache/RSS_5a877ea8ef5a4.rss](http://castfeedvalidator.com/cache/RSS_5a877ea8ef5a4.rss)
   is invalid XML, likely due to invalid characters. XML error: Invalid character
   at line 62, column 28
 * Any idea how to fix this?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fxml-error-17%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * You’ve got a parsing error being caused by the text in this post on your site:
   
   [http://theelearningcoach.com/podcasts/46/](http://theelearningcoach.com/podcasts/46/)
 * Specifically, the error is being caused by the first link in your list, the one
   that goes to ELC 001.
 * I’m not sure exactly what’s causing the problem. I’d recommend editing the post
   and if you can live without it, just remove the link and update the post. You
   could also try removing the link and putting it back in and then updating the
   post as well.

 * Thank you so much. Shawn. I’ve deleted the link and will wait to see if the episode
   updates in iTunes.
    Best, Connie

 * I continued to get the error so I deleted all of the links to the other podcasts,
   cleared my browser cache and server cache. But that same error is displaying.
   Do you know why? Thanks.

 * I found a weird character (a small superscript “L” in the text where there was
   previous links. Removing those fixed the validation error! Now, how do I get 
   the feed to update?
    Thanks.

 * Yes, the feed looks good now. Where is it not updating?

 * You can go into [https://podcastsconnect.apple.com](https://podcastsconnect.apple.com)
   and refresh your podcast feed. It can also tell you specifics if they are having
   issues pulling your podcast feed.
 * I see you are using a WP hosting solution, Flywheel specifically. You may want
   to double check they are not blocking iTunes servers. Apple IP addresses use 
   the following IP block…
 * 17.xxx.xxx.xxx
 * Thanks,
