I have the same problem.

I thought I had, sorry and thanks for letting me know.

Hi Ben, all sorted now and thank you for the response. FYI to resolve the word count issue, I manually inserted an excerpt in the last 10 posts that are displayed by default on my blog page.
Thank you and I will mark as resolved.

Deactivated copyright protection plugin and it resolved the number of posts on the blog page but still shows way more than 25 words in the excerpt.
I will not close this yet as Ben Sibley at Complete Themes should know about these issues.

Same with limiting number of words in excerpts, set to 20 but way more than that displayed before ‘continue reading.’

It is confirmed it’s on a blocklist from a previous user well before the IP address was assigned to me by my ISP.

Funnily enough, my ISP is about to install a free fiber upgrade with a new router and thus new IP address. I will check to see if that is blocked before they leave ??

As for the plugin, I read a thread on their support forum from someone with the same experience as me. They simply said it wasn’t the plugin but since I deactivated it in all my websites, the problem went away. Go figure!

Never mind. I have found out my home IP address is blacklisted through no fault of mine. It was BL in 2019 before it was assigned to me by my ISP. I am reaching out to my ISP to either have the BL removed or assign me a new IP address.

I would also add the problem has gone away since I deactivated the Anti-Spam Clean Talk plugin on my WordPress websites.

Thanks, but I can’t find the link you mention after checking the whole of that page here:

here it is.

For the benefit of others, I found a fix to this. I used another RSS aggregator that worked and now have a combined RSS feed campaign within Mailchimp ??

Mailchimp are aware that Chimpfeedr did not work with my feeds and they suggested using https://www.rssmix.com/

As I say, it worked.

My sentiments exactly … thanks for the suggestions but I am going to try AWeber on a months free trial.

Thanks James.

That w3.org link is now showing different to what was shown earlier. I agree it now appears a valid feed URL but Chimpfeedr still refuses to accept it as valid!

I am on a free Mailchimp account so I have no idea how to contact them about this issue.

Thanks
Steve

It was the same issue!

Just tried MS Edge and Firefox – same results – so it’s not a browser issue. I have cleared cache and cookies in Chrome. I have been in to my web hosting cPanel and cleared all caches.
Deactivated plugins and put them back one by one and finally re-installed a new zip copy of 4.5.
The same problem!

I have the same issue. I have followed all the troubleshooting steps above and still not working.
What is this TinyMCE editor all about? I thought the issue was about the visual editor in WP 4.5.
Has anyone found a solution yet?
It’s so frustrating. I can’t do a thing until I know there is a fix.

Hey! Thanks for this info. I followed your instructions to the letter and it worked.
