Invalid RSS feed from anchor.fm?

Hey @chelsea8882,

Thanks for using our plugin and for reaching out!
Yeah the plugin should definitely work perfectly with Anchor.fm, so I suspect this has to do with your server configuration.

Please set the allow_url_fopen to true in your PHP.ini file or through the server settings panel –

allow_url_fopen=1

If you’re not familiar with this, please contact your hosting provider and I’m sure they would be able to help.

Let us know if you have any other questions!

That worked, thank you!

Hi,
I’ve tried this (my PHP info is below) for my podcast (https://feeds.transistor.fm/living-adventurously) but I’m still getting an error message saying
Podcast Feed Error! Please use a valid RSS feed URL..

Please can you help me solve this problem?
Thank you
Alastair

Hey @alastairhumphreys,

Thanks for using our plugin.
I’ve just tried to import the feed you’ve mentioned, and it does work as expected.

The issue is probably on your server (you can read the previous comment on this thread as it does offer a possible solution)

Once you allow the allow_url_fopen option, it should work.
