Error: could not find an RSS or ATOM feed at that URL.

For example, I’d like to add this : https://www.iclarified.com/rss/tutorials.xml

And again I get the message : “could not find an RSS or ATOM feed at that URL.”

Getting pretty frustrated at the moment……..

I can’t beleive there’s nobody who has an idea why this doesn’t work on some WordPress installations ……. ?

If somebody has any idea ?

Installed 2.6.5 and the 2.7RC1 in a new subdir : no result.

Installed 2.6.5 on another webserver with exactly the same settings and rss-feed : working !

So it must be something on the host’s server, but what ? And evenmore : a friend of mine has the same host and on his website the rss-feed DOES work (maybe he has another server with different settings ?).

What can be the problem on the server causing this problem for me (and several others) you guys think ?

Solved !!

I had to use some kind of include-url because the host has blocked this kind of includes on the server I’m on.

Can you clarify this include-url? I’m having the same problem on my own site.

Well, in my case it is something like :

https://include.hosting2go.nl/include.php?url=https://www.nu.nl/deeplink_rss2/index.jsp?r=Algemeen

You can ask your own host what it should be like on your server

Color me clueless here, but after my own upgrade to 2.7, I have the same issue. The feeds I’ve had won’t update, and once removed and then restored, I get the error message you see above.

I’d ask the guy who runs the server, but unfortunately, that’s me.

No other changes between the update and when the RSS feeds stopped working in my sidebar widgets.

I get the same error when I upgraded from 2.6 to 2.7. None of the RSS feeds in the Dashboard update/display.
Any ideas?

Each of you might want to ask in separate threads since this one has been marked as resolved by the original poster and as such not many people will look at it since they think the problem has been fixed..

You might reference this thread in yours..

Anyway, my 2 cents…

Thanks mvveelen! I checked with my hosting company, webhost4life, and they’re trying to resolve for me. Not sure it’ll work, but at least there’s a glimmer of a solution.

OK, it worked! In a strange, roundabout way. I didn’t hear back from my hosting co, but what I did was use the include URL from mvveeleen with my feed address and saved it. Which saved finally with the correct name. Then I edited out his include URL and now it works fine.

If that doesn’t work, instead of clicking “done” and then “save changes” – just click “save changes” when you’re done editing.

This solution worked for me when I was getting the same error. It can be found on this thread: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/120458/page/2?replies=24

The instructions I followed were:

1. Download the latest magpieRSS package from here: https://magpierss.sourceforge.net

There’s a lot of files in this tarred and gzipped archive. You only need the four .inc files in the root directory.

2. Dump rss_utils.inc, rss_parse.inc, and rss_cache.inc into the wp-includes directory.

3. Near the beginning of rss_fetch.inc, change the call to Snoopy.class.inc to this:

require_once( MAGPIE_DIR . ‘class-snoopy.php’);

This will work as class-snoopy.php is already in the wp-includes directory and there’s no need to install the extlib directory.

4. Rename rss_fetch.inc to rss.php and overwrite existing rss.php file in wp-includes with the new file.
