  Hello, I have been trying to upload the RSS widget with an RSS feed for a SoundCloud URL but my WordPress blog is displaying this error message:
  An error has occurred; the feed is probably down. Try again later.
  I have validated the URL (http://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/soundcloud:users:485467884/sounds.rss) and it says it is a valid link. I can’t see where else I could be going wrong. Could someone please offer some advice? Thank you

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi lynettepope,

  Just to confirm your plans — it sounds like you wish to display a list of podcasts that have been uploaded to your SoundCloud account. Is that correct?

  Hi Gemma,

  Thank you for your reply. So it’s for an assignment and I’m required to show the RSS feed for a podcast I uploaded on SoundCloud. So I was expecting it to show the traffic/activity to that podcast. The link to the podcast is working but instead of showing any activity, it just displays the error message as above….

  Thank you so much for your help.

  Hi Lynette,

  The only way to display music from your SoundCloud account is by embedding it by following these instructions:

  SoundCloud Audio Player

  Can you please let me know if this solves your problem?
