# XML style information problem

 * I’ve populated my WP RSS Aggregator with sources and it is refreshing, but it
   is showing up as a tree with this message: “This XML file does not appear to 
   have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.”
 * As far as I can tell it all looks fine in back end. The site is demeterscrop.
   com. The RSS is at the top of the page. It opens in new window with not styling.
   But you can see it is refreshing, just showing the tree.
 * Now the “style” message is gone and all we see is this type of stuff:
 * <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
    <rss version=”2.0″ xmlns:content=”[http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/&#8221](http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/&#8221);

 * Hi,
 * What do you mean exactly by “it is showing up as a tree”? Where are you seeing
   this message exactly?
 * I’ve opened up the [RSS feed](http://demeterscrop.com/feed/wprss) you mentioned.
   What is it that you’re looking for exactly?

 * I posted a sample of the tree above in the original post.
 * Go to the side bar and you’ll see it’s not loading at all.
 * Go to the RSS link at the top of the page and you’ll see the tree set up as I
   copied in the original post. I set this up on FoulBallz.com too and it’s fine
   there. I did the same things on DemetersCrop.com and I get all sorts of code 
   and a broke sidebar instead of the basic styling of an RSS feed.
 * As I also said in the above post, as clear as day: The XML style message appears
   to be gone. But regardless, THERE IS NO STYLE INFORMATION….although I did nothing
   differently after setting up FoulBallz.com’s feeds.
 * Hope that helps.

 * I’m also getting duplicate feeds in the RSS in the side bar….
 * Did nothing differently than I did on FoulBallz.com

 * The lack of styling for the XML document isn’t usually an issue; is there any
   specific reason why you want styling for that document? It has nothing to do 
   with how the RSS feed is eventually displayed.
 * From what I can see, the main issue looks like it’s the duplication of feed items
   in your sidebar. Could you post the URLs of the RSS feeds that you’re importing
   to WP RSS Aggregator so we can test them? Could you also permanently delete the
   feed items that have been fetched and then refetch them? Generally when something
   like this happens it means the initial import of the feed items went wrong at
   some point and we weren’t able to set everything up so that we could check for
   duplicates. Since we only have two stories for each feed item, it looks like 
   the second time the feed was fetched everything processed correctly.
 * That’s what you mean by “broke sidebar” I assume, right? The post duplication?
   Since I can’t see anything else wrong with it.

 * I’ll check on the fetch and refetch., but yes, the duplication is what I was 
   talking about.
 * Thanks
