I believe you already brought this up, it will be in the theme or plugins. I also gave you a script you can use to search for white space.

hmm: Your feed might be empty or missing publish dates or GUIDs. A feed needs to contain publish dates or GUIDs in order to work with twitterfeed.

https://lowpricehosts.com/discussions/feed.rss

any ideas why it is not excepting my feed guys?

x00

guid and pubDate is there.

UKguy

1 error prohibited this feed from being saved

There were problems with the following fields:

Feedurl A feed needs to contain publish dates or GUIDs in order to work with twitterfeed, see http://help.twitterfeed.com/knowledgebase/articles/88117-twitterfeed-says-we-couldn-t-find-valid-date-time

• but you have guid and pubDate as x00 said:

this is the message in twitterfeed link

The dates need to be in a specific, valid format in order to be read correctly. If your feed does contain date/time stamps but you still get the above message, try entering your feed URL at feedvalidator.org - this is a useful online tool which can show common problems with feeds, including invalid date formats.

is it the https:: (wild guess)
