Some feeds not recognised

@psychbrief

Could you please share the 6 feeds and check for validity?

Please check here: https://validator.w3.org/feed/

You may also check if SimplePie, one of our requirements can read your feed:

https://simplepie.org/demo/?feed=

All of these feeds give the following error message (“Invalid feed URL – Double check the feed source URL setting above”) when I try to add it to the feed aggregator:

https://andrewgelman.com/feed/
https://medium.com/@jamesheathers/latest
https://rolfzwaan.blogspot.co.uk/
https://psych-networks.com/
https://medium.com/@richarddmorey/latest

The 1st and 3rd are recognised by the SimplePie site as valid feeds but not by either the RSS aggregator or the W3C tool. The 3rd is also recognised as a valid feed by the W3C tool. I have absolutely no idea why they won’t work. Is there a chance it’s being affected by another plug-in I’ve downloaded?

https://medium.com/@jamesheathers/latest
https://psych-networks.com/

are invalid as feed sources.

For the others that are not recognised by SimplePie you may want to use a User Agent field. https://kb.wprssaggregator.com/article/136-failed-to-fetch-feed

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ve tried setting the Feed Request Useragent setting to the useragent sent by my browser. That hasn’t worked, is there anything else I can try?

@psychbrief

You can try combining or creating a new feed source by using RSS MIX here:

https://www.rssmix.com/

Previous users have had some success with this for feed sources that just aren’t recognised by SimplePie from the get go.

Let us know if that works for you.
