Hello,
I just get an error when cliking de rss 2.0 of my wordpress blog

It doesn't matter if I click:
url?feed=rss2
or:
url??feed=comments-rss2

I always get an XML Parsing Error:
XML Parsing Error: mismatched tag. Expected: </atom:link>.
Location:Comments for vanidad
Line Number 16, Column 4:
</channel>
----------^

it works with the links:
url?feed=rss
url??feed=comments-rss

Can anyone help me to solve this problem?
I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance

    Hi drgoettel,

    It soulds like your wp-feed.php file may have become corrupted.

    FTP a new copy of this file up to your /public_html/ folder and it should fix the problem.

    You can get a copy of the file by downloading wordpress from http://wordpress.org and just uploading the wp-feed.php file to your site

    Hope this helps

      Thank you for your response. I uploaded wp-feed.php and the problem is still there. I also updated wp-rss.php, wp-rss2.php (just to try), but nothing changed. The problem is the same.
      Any other ideas or suggestions will be very helpfull.

      (When I change the link from url?feed=rss2 to url?feed=rss it seems to work but then url?feed=comments-rss2 changes to url?BlogName by itself)

      Thankyou very much!!

        Hi

        Any chance you could post the url of your blog and RSS feed, so that we can have a look at it more closely?

        Maybe its something different altogether..

        Take care

            Thanks for posting the url,

            I see the error that is getting generated.

            My first guess is that the error is becuase of the Spanish language used on the blog that is causing the RSS feed to not work properly (as I say just a guess).

            I notice that there is a couple of WP 2.7 for Spanish version out, have you tried these becuase someome else may be overcome this problem.

            Sorry I can't help more, but its definitely a WP issue here. Might be worth asking the wuestion of one of the dedicated WP forums at wordpress.org

            Sorry I can't be of much help

            Take care and best of luck getting your RSS feed to work properly

            Take care

            Bruce
