I installed the ReadFeed action and followed the instructions. Added a _cache folder, changed the permissions, and even checked with my host that a web application can write to the folder.
I am getting the following error: XML error: Undeclared entity warning at line 39
One other question. The action says that the page extension must be .php. If I want this on my homepage how is that possible?
Most sensible servers will display a home page from a list usually starting index.html, index.htm, index.php etc. etc. So if you have an index.php and no index.html then that will be displayed.
Now if your server does not support PHP (some Windoze ones don’t) then you have a problem. Most apache/linux/unix ones do - but can depend on your hosting plan.
Who are you hosted by?
Without seeing your page we cant see line 39 - and if a php then might not be able to anyway but post a link.

This means that the RSS feed is invalid. You’ll have to start with a
valid feed (take the URL to http://feedvalidator.org to see the scary
details). If you can’t control the feed quality, then you won’t be
able to use this Action.

You just change the filename of your home page from .html to .php.
Every page in your site that links to it will re-publish (once) and
then the Action will work.
