News feed rss wp wodget not working

  • My Lifestyle theme’s news headlines used to work when they were clicked on. Now when the headlines of the rss news feeds widget are clicked nothing happens. The site at the moment is https://surflook.com/surfpress

    I recently upgraded wordpress to version 2.9.2. Could this be the cause?

    It seems to be a problem on Google’s end. The feed urls work fine from the feed, just not from the widget. I don’t know what the reason for that is. You could check with WordPress support. It’s their widget.

    HTH,

    I think something is wrong with the links in the feed. Even when I copy and paste the URLs into my browser, they still go nowhere.

    Try temporarily replacing the feed with something else from Google News and see if you have the same problem.

    And next time, please don’t post exactly the same question in 3 different places.
