"Image title doesn't match channel title" error?

[twoormoretotango]

As I try to validate my feed (see other thread) I have seen this error pop up:

line 34, column 52: Image title doesn't match channel title [help]

          <title>Two or More to Tango | Two or More to Tango</title>

I get the same type of error in another validator:

Line 34, Column 3: Value of rss/channel/title element should match with content within rss/channel/image/title element.

So - they sure look the same to me! Where do I go to fix this and how???

The problem is being cased by that extra text that's happening after the bracket. Instead of:

Code: [Select]

<title>Two or More to Tango | Two or More to Tango</title>
You just want:

Code: [Select]

<title>Two or More to Tango</title>
It's likely that a plugin outside of PowerPress or your theme is causing that extra stuff after the bracket to be added. SEO plugins are often to blame for this but not always.

[twoormoretotango]

Hmm, OK, just went in and deactivated the only two SEO plugins, still getting the problem. Is there a place I can look to correct this?

[twoormoretotango]

Ah - you ARE good - I switched the theme and the problem went away! Problem is I spent a LOT of time setting up the site with that theme, LOL! But good catch!

HOWEVER, the other validator (the one that Powerpress uses just gives me a "server timed out" error) still gives me this error:

"Line 34, Column 3: Value of rss/channel/title element should match with content within rss/channel/image/title element."

with it showing:

<title>Two or More to Tango &#38;#38;#38;#38;#187; Two or More to Tango</title>

Which shows up on both validators that work: still can't figure out why the feedvalidator.org checker Powerpress uses won't recognize my site. I'm about to just start over from scratch.

I know you said you posted in another thread so pardon my laziness here but could you post a URL to your feed?

And even tho switching themes sorta fixed the problem, something is still injecting some extra information into your RSS feed. So, it's probably a plugin as opposed to the theme. I'd try switching back to the theme you were using before (since you've customized it how you want) and then try deactivating/reactivating plugins one by one and see if doing that has any affect. Also, if you're using any of the SEO functions of PowerPress, you may want to try turning this off temporarily, too.

Here is the URL:

http://twoormoretotango.com

Just a dummy site right now. And the test podcast RSS feed is:

http://twoormoretotango.com/?feed=podcast

This works in Firefox, Chrome, etc. The Feedvalidator.org site just shows server timed out:
http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Ftwoormoretotango.com%2F%3Ffeed%3Dpodcast

However, other feed validators show it as valid:
http://castfeedvalidator.com/?url=http://geopodcast.dk/podcast/feed

But even after completely cleaning everything out, using a different theme, etc. and starting over, with a VERY simple site at this point (just for testing) I still get the following issues showing on that second validator:

line 34, column 54: Image title doesn't match channel title [help]

It's very frustrating. I have friends using wordpress, though they are using libsyn for their hosting, and their RSS feeds validate just fine on the feedvalidator.org that Powerpress uses to validate. If I switch to one of the themes one of them are using, the standard twentythirteen, it DOES eliminate that image title does not match channel title (what does that even mean?) - BUT I've tried dozens of themes and the one I'm using now, blogbox, is working by far the best in terms of my logo, look, etc.

It really bothers me that no matter what theme, disabling ALL plugins except Powerpress, etc. I can't get feedvalidator.org to validate my feed. I do not want to have issues of feeds not picking it up.

Thanks.

Who is your Web host? 

It could be something funky that your webhost is doing.   Go to powerpress and under that is TOOLS.  Run the diagnostic and send the results to me mike at rawvoice.com

I've gone to a VERY basic set up so the problem does not exist at this point (twentythirteen theme, no plug ins exept Powerpress, one blog post, one podcast post.) Now the problem is feedvalidator.org will not validate, even with that basic set up. It gives a server returned time out error. Even with that VERY basic set up. Even though the RSS does appear valid (I can subscribe to it in Firefox, for example.)

I ran the diagnostic, and the only error it shows is this:
 Warning    

WordPress Version 4.1.2

Your version of PHP (5.5.11) is OK!

You are using 7% (18.1M of 256M) of available memory.

Temporary directory /tmp/ is writable.

Warning: PHP running in CGI mode.

Also, when I look at the error log for my web host, it looks like feedvalidator.org is looking for 404.shtml files that do not exist? from the log file:
