 Since updating to WordPress 6.8.1, my category feed is throwing validation
 errors and Mailchimp has stopped accepting it.

 These empty <link> tags and the extra <link> entry seem to have appeared
 after the update. Only my two most recent posts, created since the
 upgrade, are affected.

 What I’ve tried:
         •       Site Title and Tagline are set properly in both Customizer
 and Settings > General
         •       No changes to functions.php
         •       Using Code Snippets plugin, but nothing affecting RSS
         •       Cleared all caches
         •       Not using any RSS-related or feed-modifying plugins

 Is this a known issue in WP 6.8.1 with how <link> elements are generated
 in RSS feeds?
         •       Has anyone found a fix, or a way to suppress the extra and
 empty <link> tags?
