Weird RSS issues (RSS missing)
Okay, here’s one to gnaw on. A mostly-untinkered-with site – that is, no source changes, no plugins that really take hold of your urls (list below), and when I click on any RSS feed (at the bottom of the home page), I get a “file could not be saved” error in Firefox or a “page could not be displayed” error in IE7. What’s the deal?
Plugins active
- asy_captcha
- asy_wondertag
- hpw_most_popular_articles
- mrw_spamkeywords_urlcount
- rss_auto_excerpt
- rss_suparchive
- upm_image and upm_imagepopper
- zem_contact_reborn and zem_contact_lang
Any ideas? Thanks!

Re: Weird RSS issues (RSS missing)
I’m having a similar issue today, and I think Senser has the right idea for the fix here
In my case it has to do with upm_image or image_popper, but I’m I haven’t yet figured out why the error are occuring since I’ve updated the popper plugin to 1.3.1 (newest).
Update:
Actually I just fixed it by making sure I had both the most recent upm_img_popper and upm_image plugins.
I don’t recall having both of these installed before, just the popper. But in any regard this fixed the problem.

Re: Weird RSS issues (RSS missing)
upm_img_popper also contained upm_image in older versions, this plugin was split recently into two. So by updating upm_img_popper you evoked the error message for the now missing upm_image tag, which in turn broke your feed.

Unfortunately, still have them, after updating to 0.4.5 and 1.3.1

Re: Weird RSS issues (RSS missing)
Then you will have to find the offending tag. The other post suggested wget as a tool to read the feed and the enclosed error messages which cause the feed failure.
Another method to find the article which causes the feed failure would be: Reduce the number articles in feeds to 1 (preferences), see if the feed works. Increase the # of articles in feeds to 2, retry. Repeat until you find the offending article. Then dig for misspelled txp tags. This obviously only works if the error is not inside a page template or elsewhere.

Re: Weird RSS issues (RSS missing)
Very odd. Getting the file directly (well, through Python’s urllib) gives me a well-formed xml doc (no Textpattern errors), but it has lots of linebreaks starting it off – I wouldn’t think that would cause the browser error?
Still digging…

Re: Weird RSS issues (RSS missing)
Yeah – the problem is the preceding linespaces. Such an odd error, I’ve gotten it before once, but in a different area. I can’t seem to get rid of it, trying various ob_clean(), ob_flush() combos, but I still have plenty of whitespace. You can see the trace here
EDIT
Three lines of whitespace precede all of my output, HTML and RSS. What’s the deallio?

Re: Weird RSS issues (RSS missing)
Does changing your production mode offer any insight?

Re: Weird RSS issues (RSS missing)
Ah! Got it. It was trailing whitespace on plugin files (in my plugin_cache directory). I deleted it on the live version, but it was still pointing toward the development site. So, a warning to any plugin developers? I think this whitespace might’ve been in the original template files. (not sure / too tired to check).
Thanks everyone for help & suggestions!
