I-Tunes feed problem

[Andre Günther]

So I have had a problem with the SSl of my Website and after I fixed it, the feed (https://www.theforeignerpodcast.com/feed/podcast/) to iTunes would no longer be read. They just said "Can't read your feed" but the validator said following:

Documentation
Message

foo attribute of bar must be a full URL
Explanation

The specified attribute value is not a full URL.
Solution

If this is a link to a web page, you must include the "http://" at the beginning and immediately follow it with a valid domain name.

Otherwise, the valid values for a URL are specified by RFC 3986.


what can I do?

I tried loading your feed in Google Chrome and it timed out, saying there were too many redirects triggered by the URL. It eventually resolved at this URL after giving the above message:
http://www.theforeignerpodcast.com/feed/

Check to see if you have any feed redirection plugins running and if so, check their settings and/or deactivate them. You may also want to look at your site's .htaccess to see if it contains any 301 redirects.

thanks for the reply.
it can't be another plugin, I am pretty sure about that.
What is the htaccess thing though?

[Shawn Thorpe]

.htaccess is a file at the root of your WordPress installation that can do some pretty powerful things. For example. this page shows how to edit an .htaccess file to implement a 301 redirect on your website:

Security plugins in particular like to put stuff in .htaccess files.
