    several feeds have been disabled on several blogs since upgrade to 2.8.1 from 2.7.1.

    when trying to read in dashboard i get " RSS Error: XML error: EntityRef: expecting ';' at line 25, column 231 "

    when slelcting the feed I get:
    " A semi colon character was expected.
    Line: 25 Character: 55

    <link>http://studies.aberean.org/?page_id=961&link=1#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed</link> "

    This is only on two blogs out of five. these 2 blogs are using the Atahualpa theme

    It looks like you've cut off the part of the error message which would be helpful to someone trying to work out how to help you.

    But, try loading the feed in a browser, or feed validator and it might point out what the error is.

    And the response when you view it in a browser or feed validator is?

    Also, what is the URL of the feed you are trying to add? because the URL in your error message isn't an RSS feed.

    And for the third time of asking - the response you get when you put the url into a feed validator is?

    I'm trying to guide you to the answer here, but what the hell. It's not a valid feed. The error tells you where the first error in the feed is... If you put the url into a feed validator (as I mentioned in my first response) you would already know this.

    Look at the url for your links. You might want to try disabling whatever plugin is adding this "&link=1" to the end of your URLS because it should be adding "&link=1".

    You said OR, so i gave you what you had asked, i did not understand you wanted both.

    Here it is:
    Sorry
    This feed does not validate.

    •Server returned HTTP Error 404: Not Found [help]

    •line 25, column 54: XML parsing error: <unknown>:25:54: not well-formed (invalid token) [help]

    <link>http://studies.aberean.org/?page_id=961&link=1#utm_source=feed&amp ... ^In addition, interoperability with the widest range of feed readers could be improved by implementing the following recommendation.

    •line 2, column 0: Use of unknown namespace: http://unfoldingneurons.com/ [help]

    You said plugins, so i looked for plugins that are active on this blog and not other.

    2 were different: ZE List and Site Table of Contents.

    I deactivated both and now feed is back. Thank you very much for the help, sorry about my misunderstanding.
