What's going wrong

Site owners who use this WordPress plugin to send product feeds to a price comparison marketplace report that the XML it creates is broken. Some see a parser error about a missing root element, others see extra content after the end of the document, a tag mismatch, or an XML declaration in the wrong place. Some say the feed never gets created at all, even after they add the expected page setup. The feed worked for some of them before and then broke after an update or a reinstall. Because the marketplace cannot read the file, these shops lose listings until someone fixes the output by hand. There is a clear opening for a validation and monitoring service that catches broken feeds early.
