why doesn’t this feed work?

Looks like the request is timing out, the source website could be blocking external requests. In addition, the source URL does not appear to be a valid RSS feed: https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Frss.cbc.ca%2Flineup%2Fworld.xml

That is strange.

We are currently trying to phase out of the Hungryfeed plugin because it it no longer supported.

I placed the current Retriever code (above) right below the Hungryfeed code and that one works without a problem

[hungryfeed url="https://rss.cbc.ca/lineup/world.xml" max_items="10" feed_fields="" item_fields="title" link_item_title="0" ]

Just checked that feed and it also works on Feedly

Thanks for your replies! We’re looking into this issue and will have an update soon.

This problem has been resolved with v1.5.1.
