w3 total cache keeps minifying my feeds

To stop W3 Total Cache from minifying the feeds you need to go to:

  1. In the menu: Performance > Minify
  2. Meta Box: HTML & XML > HTML minify settings:
  3. Check the box for: Don’t minify feeds

One of the issues with feed minifying is that it adds CDATA wrapper around javascript in the content and that breaks the XML. I had this issue with videos that were in my content that used javascript.

Here is a screenshot that might help:
