    CDATA showing up in RSS Feed Manager Posts

    I use the RSS Feed Manager quite abit to create new threads. For this particular feed, I keep seeing CDATA code included in the item descriptions:

    Steepandcheap.com RSS

    Example post:

    Jansport Luna Daypack - Women's - 1550 cu in

    The feed validates:

    RSS Validator

    I posted this on vBulletin.com and someone tried it on a clean board and it worked fine. vBSEO is really the only "mod" I have installed. Can someone with 3.6.2 and vBSEO 3.0.0 RC6 try this feed and confirm if it happens with it as well. If so, it's most likely a vBSEO problem. I did not see this with vB 3.6.0 and vBSEO 2.5.4. Any thoughts?

    If you disable vBSEO on your site, it works correctly?

    Yes, it does. Here's the post that was generated with vBSEO off:

    Helly Hansen Pole Short-Sleeve V-Neck Perform T-Shirt - Women's

    This confirms that vBSEO 3.0.0 is causing some problem. Please advise.

    It works correctly for me on vBSEO-enabled test forum. Is this also happening if you execute RSS manager manually in admincp?

    Very strange. Since disabling and re-enabling, it seems to be working now. Weird...

    Ok, let us know if the issue will happen again (probably a temporary glitch on the rss provider's side?)

    I am having this same issue. If I disable VBSEO, everything works fine and the CDATA does not show up in the description. As soon as I re-enable it, it the CDATA shows back up.
