My RSS feed is available here: http://bit.ly/KWxEgg
It shows the following error in feedburner if any of the blog posts in the feed have a gravity form in them:
The URL you entered does not appear to be a valid feed. We encountered the following problem: Error on line 1: The element type "content:encoded" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</content:encoded>".
Hi ofd, I am not sure what would be causing this. The development team is off today due to Memorial Day holiday.
Can you please double check that this is only when Gravity Forms is in a post? Can you link me a post that has a form in it?
Thanks for the reply David.
The most recent post on our website now has a gravity form included.

The feed stops where the gravity form code is as you can see here:

As that post moves down to 2nd, 3rd place and so on, the feed will work correctly until that post.
We've seen this in the past with other posts that included a gravity form.
Thanks for your help.
There isn't anything we can do about this. Gravity Forms are complex forms consisting of complex HTML markup and jQuery and Feedburner doesn't like that the RSS Feed contains some of this data, most likely related to jQuery usage. There isn't anything we can change to Gravity Forms to make it work correctly in Feedburner without making massive sweeping changes.
Feedburner isn't expecting the data within the RSS to contain anything more than post content, so it has a hard time when it encounters more complex markup.
Ideally WordPress wouldn't parse shortcodes as part of the post content when returning the post content in an RSS feed. But it does. It's a bit counter-intuitive because the form that renders in the RSS feed reader isn't going to function properly anyway.
If this is an issue then i'd suggest embedding the forms on pages, not posts, and then link to the page containing the appropriate form from the posts.
