Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
Plain simple. I have tried with several (wordpress uses rss2) but it seems unable to retrieve any items. Doing a search I have ran into this thread. The MSN Live Spaces feeds (RSS1) do not seem to work either amongst others named in the above thread.
A fix would be appreciated.

filiptc CreditAttribution: filiptc commentedGive it a try yourself. Here are two WP ones that don't work with my 5.1 aggregator module:
http://www.rmbrualla.com/medemblog/feed/
http://bwalex.wordpress.com/feed/
Then there's
http://schnucklmauschen.spaces.live.com/feed.rss
All the above ones give no error but stay at '0 items'.
And from the other thread we've got:
http://www.thinkgeek.com/thinkgeek.rss
http://www.thinkgeek.com/clearance.rss
("no element found" in line 1)
http://haze.mameworld.info/feed/
("mismatched tag" in line 12)
That's all the info I can give. This is critical since it's a major functionality bug in the module (lack of compatibility,... you name it).

Boris Mann CreditAttribution: Boris Mann commentedChanging the title to make this THE ticket for looking at feeds that don't work with the core parser.
Please do add links to other feeds that aren't working.
1. Check the feed with the http://feedvalidator.org/ -- if it's not valid, then it just won't work
2. Post the error message

Feed Validator says it's valid, but Drupal's aggregator gives an "Invalid document end" error. I set up a FeedBurner feed for Y Combinator Startup News in case anyone else needs it before this gets fixed in aggregator.module.

winzurf CreditAttribution: winzurf commentedHere's one I encountered - Firefox and IE7 read it ok, and it looks like valid xml when I look at source (although I didn't know you can include comments in feeds of the <!-- variety --%gt;, but feedvalidator.org seems to get back html instead of rss when I test it there so I suspect Drupal is getting the same treatment - I've requested the feed source site builders look at it.

drupal-is-OK CreditAttribution: drupal-is-OK commentedWinzurf, I think you hit the nail on the head. The feedburner trick I talked about on the other thread at uofl.info always works, because that server (feedburner) sends the file correctly.
What I think needs to be decided is, should Drupal be more lenient about malformed XML? Most feed readers are. It doesn't seem that there is any penalty for doing this. I do think the priority should be lower as Drupal is technically correct and the problem has an easy workaround with feedburner.

filiptc CreditAttribution: filiptc commentedI've had a little time to look a little deeper into the issue and found out that wordpress creates RSS.92, RSS2, and ATOM feeds... None of them is readable by the aggregator 5.1.
The feeds are valid (checked with the above validator). It's a shame that noone seems to care enough to do something about it. This is a major functionality bug.

filiptc CreditAttribution: filiptc commentedI've tried the feedburner workaround and it does not work with wordpress feeds for me... try it out yourself:

domesticat CreditAttribution: domesticat commentedThere is an existing thread in the wordpress forums regarding RSS feed errors that may be related: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/169040 --
No solution, and no guarantee that they're related to what we're seeing, but a validation error on line 1 in wordpress feeds does seem strangely similar to what's going on here.

gurubert CreditAttribution: gurubert commentedThis feed does not work: http://www.heise.de/newsticker/heise-atom.xml
There is no error displayed.
Comment #13
totus CreditAttribution: totus commentedAggregater only seems to pull one item on a wordpress feed. e.g. http://www.seocxo.com/seo-sem-talk/feed/
Feed validates fine.
Comment #14
Dave Reid@totus, Check the "discard items older than x" setting under admin/content/aggregator/settings - it may be discarding feed items from the feed you listed since they're not exactly recent.

dpearcefl CreditAttribution: dpearcefl commentedIs this still an issue in the latest D6 (or D7 or D8)?
Comment #17
saurabhk_97 CreditAttribution: saurabhk_97 commentedYes, it's still an issue. Aggregator version 6.22. RSS feed - http://www.plm.automation.siemens.com/wcm_cfm/rss/feed.cfm . Error message - The feed from Siemens PLM Software News seems to be broken, due to an error "Invalid document end" on line 1.
Thanks in advance for looking in to it.
