Message
guid
must be a full URL, unless isPermaLink attribute is false
Explanation
By default, the guid
element specifies a permanent link for an
item, the value must be a full URL (for example, starting with
"http://
").
URIs (such as tag:
URIs), as opposed to URLs, only identify,
not locate, items, and are not suitable for permalinks.
Solution
If you are using the guid
element as a permanent link, make sure
the value is a full URL, that could be followed directly in a browser.
If you are using the guid
element simply as a unique identifier
(and not a link to the item), then the value can be whatever you want, but you
must include the attribute isPermaLink="false"
in the
guid
tag.
These are valid guid
s:
- <guid>http://www.example.com/archives/000054.html</guid>
- <guid isPermaLink="false">article 54 at example.com</guid>
- <guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555</guid>
