Tinker here and there…and some RSS troubleshooting
The first thing I do when I came back to BlogMunch is, of course, tinker with the theme. First I upgrade to WP 2.3.3 (Fantastico is still behind times and too lazy to switch to Simple Script). Then I switch to a simpler theme that you are seeing now, Codename “Statement”. Redoable is really a high maintenance theme and also quite a slow theme.
Disable some of the plugins that I am not interested anymore, like Adsense-Deluxe+, Extended Live Archives and Gregarious.
Write out yesterday’s post and publish it.
Here’s the thing about changing to a new theme. There are snippets of code you need to remember to add in. Like FeedFlare code, Goggle Analytics code and Similar/Related Post php callup. Not only do you need to remember to put all these code back, also you have to remember where to put them. I wonder how some blogs can change theme every month or so.
Troubleshooting begins…
That’s when I went back to my Google reader to see if my new post came up so that I can check everything is working properly. Nope, no new post. I then subscribe to the blog original feed at http://blogmunch.com/feed to see if it work. No luck there too. So both the feedburner and blog feed doesn’t work.
Log into feedburner to check feed status. Apparently, I have an error within the feed.

There are three extra lines on the feed xml file. Send my feed through the Feed Validator and confirm this error.
The first thing I do is to delete the illacrimo theme that might be causing the error. No luck there.
Then I download all my WP files through ftp to find the feed file so that I can delete these three lines. Not right either.
Search about this error on Google. Someone reported that to solve this error, you need to delete all extraous spaces before <?php and after?>.All my php files seems fine.
The answer is actually staring in my face. If you read carefully, the problems lies in the plugin section. I only though illacrimo as a theme and didn’t know it adds some plugin too.
Well, after that it si quite simple. I delete everything about illacrimo in the plugin and all my feeds works fine now.
This teaches me not to overthink things sometimes. Keep.It.Simple.Stupid. KISS
