RSS Error: WP HTTP Error: Failed to connect to…Network is Unreachable

@joeburger25, any progress, having almost the same EXACT issues you are when trying to pull any RSS feed from our multisite system.

Give me a bit to investigate. I am looking back on the site to see if I ever fixed it.

As it turns out, this issue was never resolved for me, and I subsequently abandoned the development of the site.

If you have similar issues to mine, you should look into these solutions:

1. Attempt to re-install WordPress manually (i.e. don’t use fantastico or zacky .etc)
(this has been known NOT to solve [SMARTRec], but heck maybe worth a try)

2. Try another web host
– SMARTRec has reported that 2 out of 3 of their hosts have this issue

It appears the issue is generated from certain web hosts blocking certain inbound/outbound ports on the web servers.

I am sorry I was not able to provide more help.

I want to thank kmessinger for his recurring help, and I want to thank the others that posted they have similar issues: SMARTRec, casper14209
as it has helped eliminate potential solutions.

Due to the frustrations I have had with WordPress across different web hosts (usually slow responsiveness) and now this, I will be abandoning all use of WordPress for future websites.

Good luck to all of you out there, and Press on!

Thanks for the response Joeburger25, sad to see you go from the WP community. All in all, I think this is the best Blog/CMS system I have developed on/for, but there are many that I haven’t tried.

I haven’t had much luck in my efforts on this one yet, but will now begin to process through what I can and if anything successful happens, I will be sure to return. ??

Good luck in future endeavors,
Vince
