"Can't Parse Your Feed. Invalid XML" error

Hi,


I'm getting this error in iTunes Connect:

Can’t parse your feed. Invalid XML: Error on line 7: The element type "META" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</META>".


For this feed:

https://www.inspirednewsradio.com/category/mind-your-own-business/feed/podcast/


I'm using the Blubrry PowerPress plugin in conjunction with Blubrry Hosting on a WordPress site.

I'm new to submitting podcasts - so I don't know how to find this "Error on Line 7" (all I see is the podcast feed URL).


Can someone tell me where I go to add this missing </META> tag? I just don't know how or where to access code for this feed. (I'm thinking that is what I am being asked to do).


Thank you ~

The problem isn't in the feed. Although I was able to download your feed and look at it, attempting to validate it in Feedvalidator produced the following code instead of the feed:


    <html>
    <head>
    <META NAME="robots" CONTENT="noindex,nofollow">
    <script src="/_Incapsula_Resource?SWJIYLWA=5074a744e2e3d891814e9a2dace20bd4,719d34d31c8e3a6e6fffd425f7e032f3">
    </script>
    <body>
    </body></html>


This means that something in the way your server is set up is blocking access to the feed for some clients including, it would appear, the iTunes application and certainly Podcasts Connect. You need to take this up with the people running your server.
