Re: [issue] RSS ATOM feed is leaving in some encoded characters
Good suggestions… I did change the preferences several times after upgrading, and posted a new article this morning and found the same problem occurring. I also searched the FeedBurner forums, to no avail.

Take feedburner out of the mix, and test one thing at a time.

Re: [issue] RSS ATOM feed is leaving in some encoded characters
OK, for the record, I took FeedBurner out of the mix and the problem persists. I see it on every feed reader I’ve tried on my Mac (haven’t tested on a PC) … the feed itself is at http://www.needmoredesigns.com/notes/?atom=1 and the FeedBurner URL is http://feeds.feedburner.com/NeedmoreNotes … I see the same thing on both.
In fact, my latest post is a perfect example of the problem. There are two right curly apostrophes. The first shows up as & #8217; and the second one shows up as a correct curly apostrophe, in the same feed. This is on TextPattern running 4.0.1 (r888), PHP 4.3.2, MySQL 3.23.58, locale en_US.UTF-8, Apache/2.0.46 (Red Hat).
I’m also running Noboto.com on TextPattern 4.0.2, which has the same problems. In fact, if you subscribe to that one in iTunes 6, its post body shows up with entities like “& amp; #8220;” (spaces in there so it doesn’t escape out) which is just madness.
So as far as I can tell, the problem does indeed lie with TextPattern. As I mentioned elsewhere in these forums, the problem happens when I read the official TextPattern RSS feed on my feed reader, so it’s not just me…

Ray,
Take a look at your high level diagnostics, and check the rev numbers and checksum of atom.php and rss.php against those listed here.
