Hi there, I’m currently in the process of migrating my Jekyll site to Kirby. So far, so good. For my RSS feed, I just took the out of the box plugin and created a page and a template for it as suggested in the README. Unfortunately, this output does not validate against the W3C Feed Validator. You can see my results [here](http://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Flab.flohei.de%2Fkirby-starterkit%2Fblog%2Ffeed). Is this just me or is it a general problem with the plugin? Anyone else seeing this? Thanks, –f ---

Looks like there’s something missing. The problem is not that it does not validate, but the php error messages. Pls. check if your feed folder in /site/plugins contains the following files: - feed.php - template.php (this one seems to be missing) ---

Hm, in /site/plugins/feed/ I have three files - feed.php, - [readme.md](http://readme.md), and - template.php. I think this is everything you guys have in that repo, right? ---

Yes, then that’s ok. But you get php error messages for variables that are not defined … What does your feed look like if you open it in a browser? ---

The error messages point to the file `site/templates/feed.php`. This template shouldn’t be the `template.php` that ships with the plugin, but contain something like the [example code](https://github.com/getkirby/plugins/tree/master/feed#example-usage). ---

That’s exactly the problem. ---

Oh, okay, then I completely misunderstood it. Sorry about that. I will try it with the example code provided. Thank you very much for your kind assistance. ---
