Having Issue with the Rss feeds in Wordpress

I am trying to implement rss feeds on my site and i am using rss feed widget of wordpress, When i put the url given by the client in widget, its gives me this Error

 "RSS Error: This XML document is invalid, likely due to invalid characters. XML error: Invalid character at line 117, column 35"

And here is that url : http://www.odconsultingservices.com.au/feed/

I am using the old version of wordpress, is that a Problem?

Please suggest me some Solutions ASAP,

Thanks

The problem is not your version of WordPress. The problem is with the feed that you are trying to plug into the widget. It contains an & character, which is invalid.

The Feed Validator lets you check the feed and see where the problem is: http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.odconsultingservices.com.au%2Ffeed%2F

Two ways to fix this: 1) Talk to the people producing the RSS feed and ask them to properly encode the feed 2) Try to find a plugin that will fix the feed, or an RSS widget plugin that parses invalid XML. A bit of Googling turned up https://wordpress.org/plugins/fix-rss-feed/, an old plugin that may do the trick
