I need a little help please!

The RSS feed for my website is passing the online validators, but doesn't seem to be downloading to any reader. Can anyone help, maybe spot something that I am missing?

I update this XML manually, and just added one item last week which seemed to work fine then. I noticed today that the feed was not updating; to test, I changed the most recent post to today's date which is why it is not last week's.

@aderieg thanks for checking!

hmm, maybe something up with the two readers I was trying :/

Or maybe some cache updated after I was tinkering around earlier on.

😀 Standard respect
😀 Firewall accessibility
😒 Content : RSS/XML syntax sometimes dislikes # sign
😖 Structure : Line break \n control character just after tag

@atlas_des_flux wow, I knew XML was fussy but didn't expect this pedantry. Thank you so much for taking the time and checking it over. I'll update this next chance I get.

Is there an accepted character for \n linebreaks to stop it having an issue?

Inner the text newline could be recognize, but less just after the tag. Try, it depends on RSS parser/Reader side, not RSS/XML in itself. To get around all these problems of # and \n look at <![CDATA, or make description... sober.

🤨 Advise : <guid> is an alternate way to link, delete it, and keep <link> with full URL (including the #)
