I am trying to provide an RSS feed for our journal. I have enabled the RSS WebFeed plugin, and I see the atom, rss 1, and rss 2 icons on the web site. For example
I tried to subscribe to this using Vienna, and I get errors that the page seems to be a website and not an rss feed and no feed associated with the page can be detected. Similarly the w3c feed validator
says “It looks like this is a web page, not a feed. I looked for a feed associated with this page, but couldn’t find one. Please enter the address of your feed to validate.”
and unchecking the box “Users must be registered and log in to view the journal site.” fixes the issue. A login is still required to view the pdf’s, which seems sane.
Hm. Now the editorial board “just” has to decide which behavior we want…
