I would not say that this issue is resolved. I just forgot about it for a while. I followed your suggestion and put all the feeds in a row, separated by comas, but we’ll see if that makes them any easier to use.

Alright, so assuming that lets me grab a particular article from a feed, there’s still the issue of why the feeds work when they say they don’t and don’t work when they say they do. What do I do about that?

Thank you. According to my Plugins page, I have version 3.3.16.

Thank you, also, for generally explaining how to grab a particular story. I don’t suppose I could trouble you for a link to a tutorial on how exactly to go about doing that, could I? That seems like it’s probably going to be more complicated than it sounds.

Much appreciated.

Thanks for all the help, guys./s

How do I know if I have the latest version? If I don’t, how do I update it?

My WP version is 5.3.2.

This happens when I create a new block.

Can you also tell me how to grab a particular story from an RSS feed, instead of grabbing the whole feed?

Sorry for the late reply. Here’re the screenshots.

When I try to use a feed, I get an error message like this: https://prnt.sc/qnp1db

But if I publish it anyway, it works: https://prnt.sc/qnp2s8

I swear I’ve had it work the other way around, where the feed worked when I was creating the post, but not after I published it, but that doesn’t seem to be happening with any of the feeds now; just the above. At any rate, I can’t edit the options when I keep getting that error message in the first screenshot.

I understand that, but that doesn’t tell me why the feeds work after I’ve gotten an error message, but don’t work after I DON’T get an error message.

Here are the feeds I’m trying to use:
https://www.vice.com/en_us/rss,
https://www.politico.com/rss/politicopicks.xml,
https://www.motherjones.com/feed/
https://feeds.crooksandliars.com/crooksandliars/politics
https://www.wonkette.com/feeds/politics.rss

I will be happy to add screenshots if you’ll tell me how to do that. I don’t see that option anywhere.

This is Feedzy, right? I go to create a new post. I click on the little Feedzy icon to use an RSS feed in the new post. The dialogue box that comes up only lets me enter the URL for the feed. I click to load the feed and sometimes I get a message saying the feed failed to load. If I publish the post anyway and then navigate to my front page and click on the new post, there’s the feed; working fine. Other times, when I enter the URL for the feed and then click to load it, the feed appears to work immediately – no error message – but if I then navigate to my front page and click on the new post, THEN I get an error message saying the link didn’t work. In the latter case, when the feed appears to work, I’m able to edit the options. In the former case, when I immediately get an error message, I can’t edit the options.

What’s a short code?

I don’t know how else to describe the problem. Is there a way to post screenshots?

Yeah, I gave it a shot, but I’m gonna need help doing all of that. Thank you.

Hello!

Thank you VERY much for getting back to me. I’m probably going to need you to go into more detail about how to do those things you suggested, though. I mean, I’ll take a crack at looking it up and get back to you, but that sounds like it’s gonna be easier said than done.

I appreciate your help. Again, thank you.

Should I contact Bluehost?

I don’t know what to tell you. I just clicked on it and it took me right to my homepage. Is there some reason I’m able to access the site but you’re not?

No one? No one else has had this problem? Where do I go for help if the forums don’t have any ideas?
