RSS 2.0 "namespace not defined" error

Hello, my fellow Serendipity users. =) My blog has been running virtually problem-free for the past five years. I just noticed that my RSS 2.0 feed is generating an error and has prevented blog import for a couple of services I have tried. The error reads:
error on line 49 at column 29: Namespace prefix creativeCommons on license is not defined
I attempted a blog update (from 1.3.1 . . .it's been a while) in hopes that maybe the new release had an update to the syndication plugin and I also tried to look for the location of the plugin in my Serendipity installation but couldn't find it. I looked through the control panel to see if there was a simple field to enter copyright information in case it was a fix as easy as that but couldn't find that either. Any hints, please? I don't know why it would suddenly do this. Thank you in advance and sorry for the trouble. =)

Hi!

Actually, the serendipity_plugin_creativecommons and serendipity_event_creativecommons plugin should output an RSS namespace prefix - whats your URL?

Regards,
Garvin

Also, just noticed that you're in Cologne. I'm making my biennial pilgrimage to your city end of September for Photokina. If you happen to to be in town the Kölsch is on me. =) Serendipity has allowed me to share information about my finds at the trade fair that no other blogs or news services seem to cover and high end photographic lighting and view camera users owe you a great deal for the work you and the Serendipity team has put into this blog system.

Hi!

You're also using the geotag plugin, which also injects its stuff into the RSS feed. Are you using the most recent version of the geotag plugin? Because in earlier revisions it might've been a bug that overwrote the namespace declaration, instead of appended to it.

You might be able to workaround that if you place the geotag plugin BEFORE the creativecommons plugin in your plugin manager.

Photokino is again this year already? I thought it was last year? That's great news. Sure, I live just walk away from the fair center, so we could happily join up. Since I also enjoy photography, we surely could get something out of it :-))

Best regards,
Garvin

Updating the geotag plugin seemed to have fixed the problem. Thank you. =)

I'll get in touch with you before leaving Canada for Photokina. And yes, Photokina is on even-numbered years.
