When I pull the rss feed, I get code that looks like this: <pre><code><item> <title>Anonymous on "Hello"</title> <link>http://forums.brynmawr.edu/topic.php?id=2#post-8</link> <pubDate>Fri, 29 Aug 2008 21:45:22 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Anonymous</dc:creator> <guid isPermaLink="false">8@http://forums.brynmawr.edu/</guid> <description>test </description> </item></code></pre> The is a tag that is entity-encoded (I presume so that won't be parsed as an XML tag by an XML parser). This is causing an issue with the feed parser that I am using (lastRSS): the parser is passing the <description> contents through unchanged, and so I'm getting literal "" and "" on the pages that use lastRSS. I believe that the standard method of embedding HTML into an XML feed (or any XML document) is to use CDATA blocks: <pre><code><description><![CDATA[test ]]></description></code></pre> and this is the way feeds from wordpress, blogger, etc are formatted. bbpress should really do the same thing so that feed parsers like lastRSS will pass through correct HTML (in this example, text wrapped by a paragraph tag, rather than text with character entities that cause the browser to display the literal characters) Can the feed generator code be changed to use CDATA blocks? Thank you.

Got it to work perfectly with just 1 item. However, once I tried to add another item to the feed, I got the XML Parsing error. I get: XML Parsing Error: junk after document element Location: <a href="http://www.mychurchcast.org/viennapodcast.rss" rel="nofollow">http://www.mychurchcast.org/viennapodcast.rss</a> Line Number 21, Column 1: I've gone to the RSS Best Practices site and others and it seems I'm doing everything correctly, but it still won't validate. Any help would be appreciative.

It is an early standard and there is no import method available for the same format yet. We hope to revitalise this export/import method over the coming months. abailore on "xml exporter" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/xml-exporter#post-14760 Fri, 28 Mar 2008 04:32:13 +0000 abailore 14760@http://bbpress.org/forums/ hi everybody! i am new to bbpress. i have come across that bbpress already has an xml exporter. can any one provide me with the information regarding this? thanks abailore ajg on "fix to: RSS XML Parsing Error" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/fix-to-rss-xml-parsing-error#post-13018 Sat, 05 Jan 2008 10:42:49 +0000 ajg 13018@http://bbpress.org/forums/ There is no additional space nor new line in front of the <code><?xml version="1.0"?></code> line in rss2.php This file is identical to the default (kakumei) theme rss2.php file I deleted the "old" and replaced it with the one from kakumei folder. And yes, I did upgrade to a newer version. ;) ---- Update: It's fine now. :) We had this _blah.php file in my-plugins dir that had just a typed space in it. I deleted it and now the rss feed is fine. Thanks for all your help I deleted the space from file and it's fine now. livibetter on "fix to: RSS XML Parsing Error" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/fix-to-rss-xml-parsing-error#post-12949 Sat, 29 Dec 2007 16:36:47 +0000 livibetter 12949@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Your <code>rss2.php</code> template possibly has additional space and a new line, <code><?xml version="1.0"?></code> should be send at first place (after http header), but it's not on your forum. ajg on "fix to: RSS XML Parsing Error" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/fix-to-rss-xml-parsing-error#post-12947 Sat, 29 Dec 2007 16:13:48 +0000 ajg 12947@http://bbpress.org/forums/ So how did you fix this problem? My bbPress and WordPress run on the same server. WP RSS feeds do not have that problem. All I get is: <pre><code>XML Parsing Error: xml declaration not at start of external entity Location: <a href="http://www.ajakirigolf.ee/foorum/rss.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.ajakirigolf.ee/foorum/rss.php</a> Line Number 2, Column 1: <?xml version="1.0"?> ^</code></pre> I can not parse the forums RSS feed to other pages. :( sambo on "fix to: RSS XML Parsing Error" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/fix-to-rss-xml-parsing-error#post-10923 Thu, 13 Sep 2007 04:31:03 +0000 sambo 10923@http://bbpress.org/forums/ I'm getting the error mentioned above. I've searched all the forums and can't find a fix. I don't have the above or any plugin loaded. Moreover it gives me the same error on the original theme and my modified theme. I also went and made sure that all the files that get included by rss.php don't have any white space after "?>". Hitting a brick wall. Anybody have any ideas?

Open the plugin PHP file and go to the bottom and delete all the blank lines after the final closing PHP tag that looks like this...
