    Hi
    I keep getting this message:
    Failed to fetch feed “https://scamcryptorobots.com/feed/”. A feed could not be found at https://scamcryptorobots.com/feed/. A feed with an invalid mime type may fall victim to this error, or SimplePie was unable to auto-discover it.. Use force_feed() if you are certain this URL is a real feed.

    My RSS items used to work before now almost all url’s getting the “red” alert
    https://prntscr.com/kolcka
    I checked and all Feed url’s are fine
    also tried forcing feeds. nothin is working
    the site is hosted on Digital Ocean if it helps
    can you assist?
    Thanks

    Sounds like it is failing to connect to SimplePie servers which is a requirement of the plugin.

    Please check the source if it is having trouble.

    A possible solution is to use the Feed Request User Agent setting to override SimplePie’s User-Agent header.

    If non-empty, this exact string will be sent with every request made by WP RSS Aggregator for a feed source XML document. If you find your self receiving the above error, try changing this to something else.

    Please see: https://kb.wprssaggregator.com/article/52-general-settings

    The default value is determined by

    – SimplePie library
    – Reflects its name
    – Version and build numbers

    To fix this,

    Try setting the Feed Request User-agent setting to something more standard
    This could be something like the user-agent sent by a popular browser.
    Try using the user-agent sent by your browser current browser.
