Sometimes you may receive an error message when indexing your product data feed. These errors do not affect the normal functioning of the search function on your site, they only affect the updating of the products. However, we have put together this guide with the most common errors and their solutions to help you fix them as soon as possible and ensure the correct functioning of the indexing process.

There is a problem with your feed’s XML syntax.

- Names can contain letters, numbers, and other characters
- Names cannot start with a number or punctuation character
- Names cannot start with the letters XML (or XML, or Xml, etc)
- Names cannot contain spaces

What should you do?
- If your website requires logging in order to view the content, avoid redirecting to the login page when Doofinder tries to access the feed URL.

- Europe: 54.171.4.216
- USA: 52.2.218.41
