I run a Drupal 7 website and I have a separate WordPress blog. The blog generates a feed I display (RSS2 version) in a block on the Drupal website via the Aggregator module. The last feed shown on the Drupal website is from November 24, 2017. The newer 2 posts have not made it onto my Drupal website. However, when I check the feed itself, the posts are present in the feed.

The error message that Drupal shows is:

The feed from New On Our Blog seems to be broken, due to an error "Invalid document end" on line 128.

I checked the feed; there is no mention of line 128 on feed validator. Another error shows up for line 187:

line 187, column 0: url must be a full URL: [redacted]/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/adding_texture.mp4

I don't understand why I am getting these error messages. The lines look okay to me.

  • I installed updates
  • I deleted my browser's cache (Firefox ESR)
  • I deleted the Drupal cache
  • I added a new test post to the blog, and confirmed it shows on the feed

It turns out that a simple smiley :) wrought all the havoc. The smiley was situated in the first paragraph of a post and was therefore transferred via the feed to Aggregator.

Removing the smiley removed the errors and now the feed is showing correctly again.

I don't know what exactly is wrong with ':)', but somehow it messed things up. Explanations are welcome.
