Feed URL is no longer Valid

Hi

Try replacing with other facebook page ID eg 422309087831636

Your page has some restrictions. Its not publicly accessible. Pl check it.

Hey Lakshmanan,

I replaced it with the Facebook page ID you sent and it worked. I went to Facebook and looked at all of the settings for my page. It is set to publicly accessible. Here is a screenshot of my Facebook page settings:

I can’t see anything to suggest that the page would be private. It is publicly viewable on Facebook. What am I missing?

Thanks,

Matt

Hi there. I’m getting a similar error which is odd because it’s been working perfectly since I installed it about 4 months ago. Just started seeing this the other day:

Unable to fetch the feed
Error :
This XML document is invalid, likely due to invalid characters. XML error: Invalid character at line 113, column 29
RSS Feed currently unavailable.

Thanks!

Hi Matt,

Try changing country restrictions. “Page is hown to everyone” is for all countries. Currently yours have restricted only to US.

Let me know any issues.

Thanks

@davey

Hi

It seems your feed xml is invalid, Unicode may be the issue.

Pl let me know your facebook page ID

Thanks
Lakshmanan

Hi. Thanks for your help. Page ID is: 222171201170254

So strange that it just stopped working.
Thanks!

Hi davey,

A ? question mark in the feed description breaks the xml.

Let me fix and update you soon

Thanks
Lakshmanan

Thanks!

Hey Lakshmanan,

Changing the country restrictions did the job. All is working now.

Thanks!

Hey Lakshmanan – was wondering if you had any luck with a fix and/or is there anything I can do on my end?
Thanks so much!!

Hi davey,

Try the following fix.

The plugin uses simplepie to fetch RSS feeds. But Simplepie requires valid XML.

We cannot control facebook XML feed.

So I have removed the illegal characters in SimplePie’s parser.

Now the feeds are working fine.

Please follow the below instructions

Go to your site File Manager or use any FTP software.

The path is website/www/wp-includes/SimplePie/Parser.php

Replace the file contents with https://pastebin.com/0zA9gXZe this updated file.

Now check your FBF facebook page feed widget. It should work.

Let me know if you have any issues.

Thanks
Lakshmanan

Hey Lakshmanan! That did the trick! Thank you SO much.

I’m having the same issue for a page I admin id: 118053973830

I’ve tried everything that’s posted here, but it stills says “Facebook Syndication Error – This feed URL is no longer valid. Visit this page to find the new URL, if you have access”

Me too please help. When I put in your app id it works so what is wrong with my FB page that I need to fix or re-do???
