Quick EE tip, RSS feed not working
This is not so much a tip for what to do but what not to do. I recently had an RSS page that was giving some strange errors in expression engine. The fix was simple, when you create your template, make sure you select it to be an RSS page. Seems simple enough, but if you select it to be a webpage, everything will look as it should with the exception of just one thing.
When I created the template, I would get the following error in the safari web browser, and would not get results in other web browsers.
The error was: “The feed could not be loaded because the content is not in a known feed format.” (PubSub:2)
After looking at the source code, the only thing that I could see which was different than that of a standard RSS feed was the following line of code.
<ee:last_update>
Why expression engine adds that line, I dont know, but if you see this, be sure to check that your template is set to be an RSS template and not a webpage.
