RSS Feed won't validate fully
-
I want to link my WordPress blog to my Weebly website using an RSS Feed. However the RSS Feed won’t validate, and when I check the URL (http://standrewssec.wordpress.com/feed/) through an RSS validator (http://www.rssboard.org/rss-validator/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fstandrewssec.wordpress.com#l27) I get the following message:
“This feed is valid, but interoperability with the widest range of feed readers could be improved by implementing the following recommendations.
line 27, column 136: Unregistered link relationship: search (2 occurrences) [help]
… wordpress.com/osd.xml” title=”Prayer” />
^I don’t know how to fix this and avoid it happening again. Please can you help? Thank you!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

That’s the same message we see when we do feed validator checks on all our blogs. The feed is valid and I’ll tag this thread for a Staff response to your question. Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.

Thank you. The certainly isn’t pulling thru to Weebly as it stands, so if there’s a way of fixing it that would be much appreciated.

The issue could be on the Weebly end of things because as I said the feed is valid and we always see that message. Have you checked at Weebly Help Center to see if there is an known there?
-
Thanks. I can’t find anything that helps in the Weebly Helpcenter; checked there and thru search engines to try and find an answer with no luck. Other feeds will pull thru via the Weebly tool (e.g. CNN’s), so still looking for a possible answer from WordPress.

Hi there!
I understand your concern about that error message from the feed validator. However, the most important part of that message is that the feed is in fact valid. I can take a look at the error message Weebly shows if you give me a link to where you’re trying to embed this feed, but this is going to end up being an issue with Weebly’s feed reader.
Let me know if you have any other questions!

Hi Shawna
Thanks for your email. I have been back in and had another play around this morning and I have discovered that the error was actually mine; I had repeatedly pulled through the wrong URL. I have corrected this and the feed is now working.
Sorry for the stupid question but thanks to you and Timethief for your help and perseverance.
Regards
