Hi Aliia

The link to wordpress: http://www.anronline.co.uk/tms/
I then use feedburner to generate a feed for oxwall
The 'rss' i put into oxwall is: http://feeds.feedburner.com/co/ioBp

Thanks

Thank you.

URL: http://feeds.feedburner.com/co/ioBp

What Oxwall sees when you add this link, is the xml located under: http://feeds.feedburner.com/co/ioBp?format=xml

The issue is with this xml. It doesn't contain proper formatting itself.

Thank you for your reply, but what do you mean "It doesn't contain proper formatting itself"
In the URL - the information is in a format as it show's

Line 1
Line 2
Line 3

This is how i want it to appear on my oxwall site, so how can i change it, please ??

By " it doesn't contain proper formatting itself" I mean following:

When Oxwall looks up what is under the RSS URL you are using, it looks up under following URL:http://feeds.feedburner.com/co/ioBp?format=xml

And here is what we see under this URL:



The XML generated by feedburner doesn't have the formating added originally.

I suspect that the issue is within the XML structure.
Here is the current XML structure of your feed. I have bolded where <description> ...</description> starts and ends. And as you can see the description is in plain text format. And that is what Oxwall takes- plain text.

After description ends,<content:encoded> part starts, where all the styles are written, and Oxwall ignores this part since system just doesn't know what to do with this code:
