RSS feeds for use on external sites not working as should?

  • Hi, I’m trying to make it possible for the following to be available as feeds from ‘site 1’ where they are published as posts, to ‘site 2’, an external website:

    1 – A feed of all upcoming events
    https://mysite.com/events/feed – I thought this was right, but this shows posts only; all posts from site url, but no cpts
    This does show all events: https://www.mysite.com/events/upcoming-events/feed
    Both of the above validate, and both appear as they should do in xml in the browser (chrome and firefox tested)

    2 – A feed of events from a city/town – can’t find anything on this, how can I do this?

    3 – A feed of events from one category only
    https://mysite.com/events/categories/comedy/feed – this validates and reads as it should in xml in browser url path windows, but just shows all posts from site url, no cpts. How can I do this?

    4 – A feed of events from one location
    https://mysite.com/locations/a-location-name/feed – got this via output from #_LOCATIONRSSLINK placed in formatting single location, so thought it should be right, but this shows posts only from site url, no cpts? This validates and appears as it should in xml in browser address bar. How can I achieve this?

    – One single event
    https://mysite.com/events/event-name/feed doesn’t work.
    How can I achieve this?

    I’ve spent a long time looking for info about how I can achieve the above but no cigar.

    When I put the feeds I thought should be correct into the browser path window, I see the xml as I want it, but when I try to pull it into another site, it doesn’t work correctly. I get the outcomes above.

    In terms of means for pulling the feed in, I tried coding it into a custom page template to select in wordpress, and also using shortcode in a post set up with a function to allow for an rss shortcode (tried various tutorials for this just in case, as there were slight differences in function approach in different examples). I also tried HungryFEED plugin to pull it in https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/hungryfeed/

    Does anyone know how to help with any of this?
    Thanks

    just to narrow down the problem and help us debug the issue is it possible to try the following temporarily:

    – deactivating all other plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
    – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems

    Hi, ah sorry I should’ve said originally, I’ve tried switching to themes from a few different authors as well as both the 2015/2016 themes, deleted cache in case etc, no change. I also moved out all plugins except for buddypress / em, it was the first thing I did as I’ve a couple of what I thought were likely culprits, a maint. plugin & a membership plugin with limits per user role that has function to block feeds – didn’t bother reinstating one by one as moving the plugins out didn’t fix the prob either. I also deactivated my bp custom, no change, and the functions file in my child theme, no change.

    Additional: downloaded a fresh copy of the plugin for ‘site 1’ and reinstalled, no change.

    Tried another way to import into ‘site 2’, wp aggregator plugin, no change.

    Is /events/feed/ still not showing events?

    Is the page at /events/ set up throughout Events Manager as your events list page?

    Which version of Events Manager and WordPress are you using?

    Hi, no it isn’t I’m afraid.

    The most current copy of EM plugin is 5.6.5 and I’m using 5.6.4. I’ve not yet updated only as there were a couple of minor adjustments that I was unable to make work using my child, and so before I update I need to refer back to my notes to carry them out once again after I’ve updated. So to get around this for testing purposes, I just downloaded the latest release for the plugin, moved out my current copy and then activated the most recent copy, and cleared the cache. No change.

    I’m using WP V 4.5.3, the current release.

    Yes that’s right my events page is ‘Events’.

    Thanks

    As above there seem to be feeds playing up / not behaving as they should, & hopefully we can ID why, but meanwhile:

    1) Am I following the correct process to call events for one location: https://mysite.com/locations/a-location-name/feed – is this the only means? Or is use of a location/post id required? / possible to get that done?

    2) Same for feed of events from one city/town, as I couldn’t find anything on that – how do we do this?

    Thanks

    You should be able to get a feed for just about any location by adding /feed/ to the end of the URL.

    Can you try upgrading to the latest version of the plugin?
