  Hi!

  I have searched about the tracking pixel in rss feeds, all threads seems to be old. I have actual the problem, that the rss feed adds a tracking pixel and its no valid markup.

  You can find my feed here:

  And you can find the pixel in here:

  That is how WordPress tracks your stats. You can’t remove it.

  It’s a “feature” and it screws up some RSS readers and causes the empty pixel to be displayed in the Reader. The b.gif causes some readers to show b.gif and not the featured / first image for a post. Sucks actually in some cases.

  I put in a bug report on it I think last week or so, result was “feature” “try a different reader”

  Hmm, but as far as I know, there are no RSS statistics in Backend. So this “feature” is even not available for me?
