Can see some, but not all of my feeds

  • OK here’s a weird one. I have been using ICS for 4 years with no issues – probably the best plugin I’ve used. I’ve sourced feeds from the High School’s sports websites in the past with no issue. While updating for the fall season, the new feeds don’t appear, except that some (but not all) of them do in my sandbox environment – https://82p.645.myftpupload.com/football-calendar/ So nothing in production environment 3 of 4 in sandbox. The ICS feed checker in WP gives mixed results in production and sandbox. “Could not retrieve data from the requested URL” in production. 63.00 B received. This does not appear to be a valid ICS feed URL. in sandbox. I noticed that the feeds went from a webcal:// format to an https:// format – don’t think that should impact the feed, though. The online ICS tool also pulls no data. So weird. Any thoughts?

    There have been a couple of changes in the plugin that may require you to adjust some of the options under ICS Calendar > Settings.

    First, try the Use legacy feed request method option. If that doesn’t resolve the issue, you may need to put the source calendar’s domain name into the Allow access to these hostnames that resolve to reserved IP addresses box.

    Let me know if neither of these resolves the issue.

    Thanks. I had already done both with no success. Should have mentioned that. Adding to the strange-ness, I was successfully able to pull all feeds into a Google calendar, so the feed is working (at least for Google calendar).

    Here’s the feed btw https://ical.schedulestar.com/fans/?uuid=7f0e12b6-c056-11ee-a328-0268a4183e49

    Your feed URL is not working with the Preview tool, and when I try to load it directly in a web browser, I just get a blank page. A valid feed URL should download an .ics file when loaded directly in a web browser. Are you sure this is the correct feed URL and that it’s a publicly accessible feed?

    It’s what I get when I access it from the school’s website. If you’re willing, you can try as well.

    If you hit Subscribe, it will bring up the link (I think it may require you create a login, but I think you can just use a burner).

    If the feed requires a user login to access, then it won’t work with this plugin, unless the credentials are accepted over Basic Authentication (an old and not very secure method), in which case you may be able to get it to work by following the instructions here:

    I don’t think so. The school website requires a login to access the subscription (dumb, but whatever), but I’ve used these same links for years without auth. I’ll try it though.

    It’s possible something in the calendar’s configuration has changed. In any case, the feed URL you sent is not going to work as it’s current set up, because it should download an .ics file when you load it in a web browser, and you shouldn’t need to be logged into any particular site to do that.

    So weird that it shows up in my sandbox and in Google Calendar. I would think it would be binary – available or not.

    Hey thanks for the assist. I just wanted to let you know that somehow – it’s working now. Not sure if that helps you understand this scenario any better, but just wanted to close the loop.
