  Hi,

  I am having problems with one of my WordPress websites RSS Feeds.

  The RSS Feed URL to that Blog is:
  http://theessayexpert.com/blog/feed

  The Error I am getting is:

  This feed does not validate.
  line 388, column 0: XML parsing error: <unknown>:388:0: junk after document element [help]

  In one of the post, a Flash player object has been added.

  When I did validated the RSS Feed, the error is pointed to the flash player object.

  Please can someone give me a solution?

  Thanks a lot….

  @mkb11
  I’m sorry but that blog you posted the link tois not a free blog from and being free hosted by wordpress.COM so we cannot help you with it. WordPress.COM blogs and wordpress.org installs operate on different code. The correct support forum to get support for that blog is here > http://wordpress.ORG/support

  For more clarity please read the sticky post at the head of this forum or the summary provided by Staff in the support documentation.
