Within the last 6 months my RSS feed is not working within an outside website. Here is the feed.
https://www.hendersonmn.com/chatter1/cache/rss1.xml

Is there an issue with the feed or with my UBB install? We are using version 7.7.5

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

It's an ATOM feed, not just an RSS feed, use an ATOM Feed Validator (RSSAtom Alternate) as there can be elements that some rss validators will say are invalid.

Our ATOM feed reads without issue: https://www.ubbcentral.com/forums/cache/rss1.xml
It looks like, as Rube pointed out, you're missing your feed language.

Since this is a cached flat file in your cache, after updating your language strings you will have to clear your forum cache to rewrite the feed itself.

line 8 is correct

from your website's generated feed
line 8 is missing the required language information.

open the language editor.

"en-us" is missing from your RSS_LANG string
typed exactly as shown in the screenshot. no quotes.

Update Language File

then go to the Cache Manager (Tools & Information group in the control panel) and Update Cache to rebuild the feed.

this should correct your bad feed.


there are two different types of "RSS Feeds."
1/ RSS
2/ ATOM

UBB.threads generates RSS 2.0 feeds.

Your feed reader should be using RSS 2.0 format, not ATOM.

There is a fun story behind the two. I believe it is here:
