Feed not loading

Hello Tatichka,

By “on my machine”, do you mean you’ve installed a web server on your machine and are testing via that? Did you use XAMPP or WAMP or something like that?

Hello Ross,

Yes I installed a WAMP server on my machine and I’m testing through my localhost

In your php.ini file (should be somewhere in the WAMP installation), look for the following section:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Dynamic Extensions ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

Under here there should be a line that looks like this:

;extension=php_curl.dll

If the line has a semicolon at the start of it (as above), remove it so the line looks like this:

extension=php_curl.dll

Save the file, then restart the Apache web server and try loading the calendar page again.

Changed the php conf file to enable the curl extension, it solved the first error message but now I have this one

Feed 1: couldn’t connect to host Please ensure your feed URL is correct.

That’s also the one I am having on my preprod server, I thought it was a proxy error, so I tried on my localhost. Apparently it’s not a proxy rule that causes the error message.

Does it make any difference is you replace the www.google.com section of the feed URL with any of the following IP addresses?

• 74.125.24.113
• 74.125.24.106
• 173.194.38.40
• 173.194.77.103

No difference :/

Are you able to search for themes / plugins from within the WordPress admin? Do the “WordPress Blog” and “Other WordPress News” dashboard widgets work?

I should have checked that before..
They are not working either, but I checked my php.ini and I have allow_url_fopen On and allo_url_include Off

You’re definitely not behind a proxy?

Perhaps a firewall config issue?
