Ok, thanks, I’ll give it a try.

I contacted them and they do in fact have restrictions in place on the feed now.

Ok, so still not working and here is the output from the log:

[2024-09-18 08:41:59] (debug) Videocardz: Feed source URL: https://videocardz.com/rss-feed
[2024-09-18 08:41:59] (error) Videocardz: Failed to fetch the RSS feed. The URL is not valid RSS feed URL

What I noticed is that when I tried to validate the feed through W3 validator it returns this:

It looks like this is a web page, not a feed. I looked for a feed associated with this page, but couldn't find one. Please enter the address of your feed to validate.

You can check it yourself. Also, I tried another proxy service it it was also blocked and reported a 404 error. Not sure what the deal is at this point other than the site is set up to reject requests based on a certain criteria? The only services that work so far for me are Feedly and RSS.APP.

Ok, so I figured I should follow up for future reference with anybody else that may have this issue.

I implemented the theme filters but was still randomly getting the errors. I then proceeded to do a full cleanup of my feed sources, there were some RSS feeds that were abandoned by the publishers so they were no longer updating and others that were no longer functional at all. I also then deactivated all the feed sources, set them all to the default update interval and then reactivated them with a 75 second pause in between activations using a Selenium IDE script. I no longer have any issues with fetching the feeds.

Do these filters need to be nested or can they simply be appended at the end of the file?

If they don’t need to be nested then it’s still not working. I’m getting a lot fewer instances of it now but it’s still throwing the same pop up notification.

Actually I figured it out so I’ll just post it for future reference. If you want to post an item from an RSS feed to Social Media via Blog2Social using WP RSS Aggregator and have the included link point to the original article link instead of your WordPress site you need to go into the WP RSS Aggregator settings, select “Feed to Post” and check the “Posts redirect to the original article” checkbox. When I initially did this it seemed like it wasn’t working. Then after going back and unchecking and rechecking settings it started to work.

There’s no way to use the WP RSS Aggregator params directly, i.e. “{{original_post_url}}” that I have found. In other words, adding these parameters to either the Feed to Post Sources “Prepend to Content” or “Append to Content” fields does not work. Blog2Social will not render them. However selecting “Posts redirect to the original article” does work as long as you select that option.

I’m also getting these server errors:

Could this be causing the issue?

What’s most likely happening with the slider is that it’s trying to open a local link to the article excerpt on your site instead of opening the link in a new window to the original article URL. Did you try implementing the filter on the support page that I linked to in my post? I’d try that first.

Excellent, works like a charm, thank you!

Nevermind, I figured it out. I also figured out that this wasn’t the place to post this question either.

I fixed all these issues myself except for the quotation mark that appears adter the search term in the breadcrumbs on the search results page. This is actually a syntax error that I shouldn’t have to fix so can you please address it?

This is a javascript function correct? Can you point me to where this is located so I can see if I can edit it myself? I’ve already looked through the main-frontend.js file and it doesn’t appear to be in there.

Also, this works on all devices except mobile, when using a phone the page title still appears in all locations on the site. For computers and tablets it’s fine.

To be clear, I don’t want to remove the Into div completely, I just want to remove the page title text on posts.
