A couple of Feed validation problems

[hayrolling]

Hey podcast Powerpress guru folks,
I'm having some feed validation problems
First is

line 19, column 11: language must be an ISO-639 language code:
           <language></language>

Then there is

line 3482, column 2: XML parsing error: <unknown>:3482:28: unclosed CDATA section

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[

and this is at the very bottom
 you can look at the full feed vaildation report here

any and all help and pointers would be great

The <language> bug will be fixed in the next release of PowerPress.

The problem with <content:encoded> is a WordPress issue with your post content. I would re-write the post(s) in question to try to fix that problem. Sometimes this can also be an issue caused by WP caching plugins, so first make sure you disable those and test with feedvalidator.org before you go down that path of re-editing blog posts.

I am on it will let you know what I find

[hayrolling]

Well that wasn't hard I first checked my problem child plug-in and sure enough! WP Socializer was the root of the problem. Thanks!

[angelo]

Thanks for the tip!

[hayrolling]

Well I have been talking to the WP Socializer  devolper and it seems that it is a case of Blubrry and Socializer not getting along. but I will have to say I am going to sticking with you guys and Socializer will have to find someone else

[angelo]

If the Socializer developer wants to explain to us what we're doing that's not compatible with their plugin, have them email us at cio [at] rawvoice (dot) com.

Any timeline on the language bug? Feedvalidator is choking on it, and therefore iTunes won't accept new podcasts on the current version... kinda critical, don't you think?

Go to PowerPress Settings > Feed, and in the language field select your language, That solves the problem immediately.

The next update, which is not ready, will also fix this bug preemptively, which appears to be what you're looking for. You can download and manually install the latest development version if you cannot wait.

Sorry to tell you, but this does not fix the problem. I've been looking up info on this problem for the past few days with no luck. I'm using category podcasting and even after setting the language in both the feed and default settings, I still get the error.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Powerpress 4.0.4 should have fixed this, was released last week.

Hey guys, I'm having feed problems as well.

Under options in the plugin My feed language is set to French (Canada) yet when I verify my feed url or try to submit to apple, I get an EN-US language
(http://www.feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.geekcollectif.com%2F%3Ffeed%3Dpodcast)

Here is line 19:
<language>en-US</language>

I'm on Wordpress 3.4.1
Using Powerpress plugin 4.0,.4

Can anyone help me out with this one?

Thanks in advance!

Finally I found that activating the custom podcast channels and managing the language in them fixed everything!

I think the option for language WITHOUT using the custom channels options is still bugged on a side note!

Hope this could help other users!

If you don't configure anything with PowerPress, the lagnuage "en-US" is taken from your WordPress installation's language setting. Unfortunately WordPress hides this, you either need a plugin or edit your own wp-config.php to set the language to your country, otherwise it defaults to EN-US.
