    Thanks esmi, that did the trick.

    None, unless they were changed by the hack I was subject to last week. Is there something I can do to revert the changes (like re-downloading the theme files)?

    Just threw some widgets in all the areas.

    My site was hacked. It has been cleaned thanks to the good people over at sucuri.net and my feed is now up and running. I’m still having some issues regarding phishing (the hacker threw in that little gem of coding, too) but I’m doing my best to sort it all out.

    Thanks again for the help, even though it wasn’t your plugin’s fault at all.

    Tim,

    That line of code came from a twitter plugin I have. I deactivated and removed that plugin and the feed still didn’t validate. The same error message came through(line 1665).

    I installed and ran the timthumb scanner and it showed that my file were clean.

    I went through and deactivated each plugin and ran the validator and nothing changed. Wit pP deactivated (using theonlypodcast.com/feed/) I get this message:

    This feed does not validate.

    line 2007, column 0: XML parsing error: <unknown>:2008:1: junk after document element [help]

    </rss>
    In addition, interoperability with the widest range of feed readers could be improved by implementing the following recommendation.

    line 1662, column 0: content:encoded should not contain iframe tag [help]

    Tim,

    Thanks for looking at the feed. The File Gallery plugin was something I installed a while back to help with attachments to my posts. A simple deactivation of it took away most of the errors, but the feed is still not valid. The error message now states

    line 1665, column 0: XML parsing error: <unknown>:1666:1: junk after document element

    and when I scroll down to that line it reads </rss>.

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks again,
    Andrew

    I’m not sure if it will be proper if I gave out his email, but his website is http://www.ait-pro.com. You can go here if you want to see the comment thread. Mine is the last one.

    Tim,

    The conversation started as a comment on his website, but has developed into an email conversation. This was his latest entry:

    Nope disregard this. I found a way to test this without having to configure
    everything and have been able to recreate the error and also to have it work
    correctly so I am now putting together the correct htaccess code that will
    work. I just needed to understand exactly what was happening and now I do.
    Will have a fix pretty soon.

    As for the the “Nope, disregard this…”, it’s because he sent me a previous email with code I should try to input in my .htaccess file.

    Tim,

    This is how the process is going with the Bulletproof Security plugin designer:

    Hi Andrew,
    Forget my previous suggestion. I took a look at podPress and it is doing something other than what I had expected. The question mark (?) in the query string is seen as an illegal external request. I am currently testing podPress and will add it to the Compatibilty Testing page tomorrow in pending status. Thanks.

    Thought I would give you an update.

    Tim,

    Finally, we have a solution!

    @ray

    Thank you for “translating” what RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [F,L] means.

    @both of you,

    This may all lead back to another plugin I have installed. I had added the Bulletproof Security plugin after receiving a ‘possible hack attempt’ scare. This plugin affects my .htaccess file and could very well be the reason why that Rewriterule exists.

    Thank you, both of you, very much.

    I’m sorry I caused so much confusion and loss of time.

    The plugin helper .dat file only shows this:

    [11.01.2011 – 18:20:07] ‘plugin installation’

    even after I click the podcast URL.

    Should I still test with 8.8.6.3, even though I didn’t receive an error, or should I just contact my host?

    (@toptm)

    Here is the pastebin of what I tried to post in my last comment, in case it makes any difference.

    Thread Starter toptm

    (@toptm)

    Tim,

    Because I’m not sure what I’m exactly looking for in my .htaccess file, I only noticed two other things that look like the instructions you showed before. They are these:

    [.htaccess moderated as per the Forum Rules. Please use the pastebin]

    Does this help? If not, I’m going to have to downgrade to 8.8.6.3 because the other method you described does not work either.

    BTW, after following your orders and testing, I’ve been setting my permalink structure to a non-default. iTunes has been using the /feed/podcast to access my media.

    Thread Starter toptm

    (@toptm)

    Tim,

    After changing the slug name, both URLs(testfeed3) will validate. They also show all my blog entries when I un-check the “Include only…” option. After changing the slug name back to “podcast”, my initial problem resurfaces.

    My .htaccess file does contain the instructions you have listed.

    My enhancedpodcast feed filters are set to M4A and M4V, while my torrent feed is set to Torrent-P2P. I never touched either of these two feeds for as long as I’ve had your plugin.

    Thanks,
    Andrew

    Tim,

    With podPress active, all of the URLs for both testfeed and testfeed1 work with a non-default permalink scheme.

    When changed to the default scheme, only “?feed=testfeed” and “?feed=testfeed1” worked.

    The same results occurred when I deactivated podPress.

    I deleted my category “Podcasts”, just in case, before performing these tests. It made no diffference, as “?feed=podcast” still only works under a default scheme and “/feed/podcast” only works under a non-default scheme.

    @Ray- Yes, my version of wordpress is running on Linux through the GoDaddy server. I was given the URL to the wp-admin login page as soon as GoDaddy confirmed my purchase; I never had to install wordpress. And, yes, I am running worpress’ current version.

    All of my plugins have been installed through my wordpress admin page, along with all of their updates.

    As per Tim asking, I have not downgraded podPress. Yet.

    Also, Tim was correct in saying that I installed the AskApache RewriteRules Viewer plugin, not some other program with Apache as its name. Sorry for the confusion.

    Thanks, both of you,
    Andrew
