Hi Folks,
I'm trying to burn a feed on Jamie's blog, and it comes back (from Feedburner) "invalid feed"  and then says the error is on line 23.  My issue is I can't figure out how to clean it up, what wrong, and where one would find it anyway.  Help!!!!  Any clues?  Is there a plugin that validates AND corrects code in Wordpress?
Thanks!!
Milt

Than


I see the issue. There is some php code in the feed. some plugin is messing up or some content has some php code in it.

i found it by going to 


and plugging in 


here are the relevant lines


this seems to indicate that a piece of php code is not properly escaped 

here is a post at wordpress.org about it



sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this means your site has been compromised.

Maybe @michaelverdi can add to this; I think he had the same issue recently.

correction:

i plugged in http://jamielee.manykites.org

this creates the resulting report at

http://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fjamiele

and shows the problem code

Thanks!!! I suspect it was because we have had a bunch of spammers registering.  So, I also take it that I should probably shut it down - build a new data base, and start over - with bad business and a couple of other plugins activated - yes?

Thanks again!
