Thanks for your comment, @wasandajones. We ask people to visit commonsinabox.org before installing so they can familiarize themselves with the software. That site provides the kind of information you’re looking for, including a technical guide and full documentation, as well as demo sites and showcases. Having said that, we will look to add more concrete information on plugin functionality to the www.ads-software.com plugin description, and we thank you for your feedback.

Another vote for this. Sorely needed!

Finally resolved this — a firewall on the server was preventing the connections.

Thanks for your reply, cabaa99. Here’s what I don’t understand, though: I’m trying to pull feeds from blogs on wordpress.com, so the Feed URIs are like https://myname.wordpress.com/feed/ When I check the RSS Feed in a RSS Feed Validator, it gets validated.

But what I’m finding is that FeedWordPress comes back with “no feed found” and BDP Feed Aggregator (another plugin I’m trying) tells me that there is a parsing error.

Why is there a parsing error if the feed is valid?

Has anyone been able to solve the “no feed found” issue? I’m running into that problem even though the feeds I’m trying to add are valid. I’ve contacted the plugin author but have not received a response.

If anyone has any tips to share, I would love to hear them.

I’m having the same problem, and it looks like others have, too. . . . . . . any help would be appreciated.

It’s probably a permalink issue. Check out your permalink options and then update your .htaccess file.

Actually, it’s working now for me, too. If anyone comes to this in the future, here’s what I think I did: I deleted the search box from the page. While it appears in footer.php, it is displayed at the top of the page. I have a feeling that deleting it made the link work as it should.

No — I’m still having the same problem (using a 2.0 version of FF). Thanks for telling me that it’s working though — maybe it’s just my computer.

Have you updated your .htaccess file?

Let me propose one possibility, and see whether anyone else thinks it’s the likely cause.

Since the Preview window on the editing page loads a version of the blog, and sometimes gets hung while waiting for various elements, such as flickr photos or sitemeter, perhaps the full content of the post isn’t appearing in the editing screen before I click “save.”

nice work!
