RSS Feed

Hi @scottbirm,
what exactly do you mean by your RSS feed failed? What feed are you referring to and how has it failed?

I can see your site’s feed athttps://www.buryyourbones.com/feed/

My blog updates are sent out via mail chimp.

I get this from their site.

Connecting to url (https://www.buryyourbones.com/feed/) failed.

I am not that familiar with MailChimp but I will try and be helpful.
OK there seems to be an issue with the SSL certificate.

The W3 feed validator returns the following error

Server returned [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed

The SSL Labs test also returns an error

This server’s certificate chain is incomplete. Grade capped to B.
This site works only in browsers with SNI support.

Did the SSL certificate or server configuration change? You may need to contact your host ( Bluehost I believe) to resolve this issue.

Temporary not guaranteed suggestion: You may be able to change the feed URL on MailChimp to the HTTP (instead of HTTPS) version and check for errors. This may solve the problem until you get the issue resolved

Thanks. Yes I got that same error about the certificate.
A few days ago the site was down and I believe it was the certificate? that had to her verified.

Bluehost says everything is fine on there end.

Ill try http.

HTTP worked.

Any idea why that worked without the S

When you use, HTTPS the other server, MailChimp in this case, downloads the SSL certificate and tries to verify its validity before communicating. This is what created the problem in your case. Using HTTP the other server doesn’t need the certificate to authenticate/encrypt the communication, it just starts the data exchange.
