    I'm using getFeed to display newsfeeds from two related sites. One of them recently rebuild using Wordpress and now the newsfeed produces "Error parsing RSS feed".

    I'm pretty sure the feed is structurally valid but I can't see how to get more info on what getFeed doesn't like. Could it be that some of the fields are coming as CDATA (with embedded tags)? or that some of the tags have namespace prefixes (dc:creator, content:encoded)?

    If not, how do I find out what the problem is?

    The feed in question is at https://cccbr.org.uk/feed/

      I have given up on getFeed. Using parseX instead. The only tweak needed was because getFeed appears to lowercase the tag names (such as pubDate -> pubdate) whereas parseX does not, so I had to modify the data-display chunk.
