    RSS Feed Error xmlParseEntityRef: no name

    So I just noticed on all my site RSS feeds the document outputs with an error, copied below:

    Code:
    error on line 11 at column 35: xmlParseEntityRef: no name
    You can see the main site RSS at Source Canvas | Top News to see what I'm saying. All of the other RSS feeds are the same, like the upcoming RSS.

    I checked through Google and no threads came up. Is this a common issue or something easy to fix? I'm currently running 1.2.0

    Someone used a character in a title that the rss2.0 standard doesn't like.. Usually something like an "&" in a story title. Delete that story and your feed should be good.

    Hey yep! it was actually an ampersand in my site description - just changed to & and all the feeds work now.

    Appreciate the response!

    I noticed a lot of "&" being used in story titles as of late.

    If I remember... from an earlier hack (can't reference it) that it is possible to hard code illegal characters into pligg so they can't be used in the title?
