  Hello,

  I’m using this piece of code here which I can see is quite popular to display feeds from my WordPress blog on another website I run.

  When I try and output my blog feed onto the other website using the code above I get this error:

  Can not load XML: A string literal was expected, but no opening quote character was found. Error has occured while trying to process http://wirelessinformaticsforum.wordpress.com/feed
  Please contact webmaster

  It’s odd though, because if I change the blog url to a friend of mines who also uses WordPress, it works. The only difference I can see is that he hosts WordPress himself, whereas I use the WordPress hosted solution.

  My blog feed url is – http://wirelessinformaticsforum.wordpress.com/feed

  Any ideas??

  you can’t run a script here. The difference you noted between your blog and your friend’s blog is the key.

  Thanks for your reply – could you explain in more detail as I’m not the most technical.

  Thing is, I’m running the script on my other website – independently of WordPress so cannot see why it would be an issue – it’s odd?!?!

  Try the url with a closing slash mark and see if that helps.

  ie: http://wirelessinformaticsforum.wordpress.com/feed/

  You’re other website is a IIS install that allows ASP, right?
