RSS feed not working.
-
The feed is not working and it shows this message. ‘
An error has occurred; the feed is probably down. Try again later.’
Is there something I need to do to fix this?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi Sara,
Will you please post the complete and clickable URL for your blog starting with http:// so we can check it out for you? -

I am having some problems around the topic of feed. I am a comluv member and normally, my latest blog post always shows up when I post a comment at a blog site enabled by Commentluv. In the last 2 days, I keep getting an error message that there are problems with my feed. Since I have a free WordPress blog, I’m not even sure where to go to correct the problem. Please advise and help!
Thank you,

@Elizabeth
The good news is that there is nothing wrong with your blog feed. It’s working. See > http://ismyblogworking.com/eof737.wordpress.comWe cannot use the CommentLuv plugin or any other plugins on free blog being free hosted by WordPress.COM. There is no FTP access to wordpress.COM blogs and we cannot upload theme or plugins into them. See > http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

Elizabeth, I have the same problem with Comment Luv. I have to use my wordpress url (alwayswell.wordpress.com) instead of my own domain url (www.alwayswellwithin.com)
Good luck with this. I would love to know the outcome.

I have also been having intermittent problems with RSS feed and the error message for over a month now: http://peoplingplaces.wordpress.com .

Thanks for links timethief. They say RSS feed is working and that it’s valid, while simultaneously there’s an error message for my blog’s feed, “An error has occurred; the feed is probably down. Try again later.”
I’ll try support.

My RSS link isn’t working either. When I click on it, I just get taken back to my blog front page. The RSS link is valid, it’s working in netvibes.
My email feed is working, so I don’t think its Feedburner.
I’ll check your links timethief, if anyone else has ideas I’d appreciate!

Hello there. When you post to this forum we need you to either post the URL for the blog in question or to link your wordpress.com username to your blog. This is because the answers for those with free hosted wordpress.COM blogs are not always the same as they are for wordpress.ORG installs. Here we provide support only for wordpress.COM free hosted blogs. All those with wordpress.ORG installs must post to http://wordpress.ORG/support/How to link your wordpress.com username to your blog
Dashboard -> Users -> Personal Settings -> then scroll down to ‘Account Details’. In the spot where it says ‘website’ fill in the complete URL for your blog starting with http:// and then save the changes. -

All wordpress.com blogs have RSS feeds for both entries(posts) and for comments. This is the RSS feed URL for your posts (entries) http://cparente.wordpress.com/feed/
This is the RSS feed for your comments/comments/feed/Here’s the report on your feed > http://ismyblogworking.com/cparente.wordpress.com and here’s the validation as well http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fcparente.wordpress.com
Your feeds are both valid and operational.
-
FWIW – using FF3.6.3 if I click on the feed link in your sidebar, the feed loads in my browser.
-
OOPS! This is the RSS feed for your comments http://cparente.wordpress.com/comments/feed/

Thanks timethief, appreciate the response but question not answered. That is the address I’m using:
http://cparente.wordpress.com/feed/Like I said, it’s working in NetVibes so I know the address is good. But…
When clicked on, a FeedBurner page used to open, asking what aggregator the reader wanted to use. Now, nothing. Just a reload of the front page. There’s no “sign up”
Here’s an example — page that opens when I click on RSS for my Tweets: http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/14516263.rss

I see. You don’t have a wordpress.com issue. The feed is valid and working properly. It seems that you have a Feedburner issue and you will need to take it up with them.

Somewhat along these lines my problem is that the ‘comments’ RSS feed will stop working. When I get a comment, it will first show up in my Thunderbird email inbox for approval. I will approve it, and it then appears on my blog entry. Once that happens, Thunderbird’s RSS reader will give me the alert and I can see it. The next time Thunderbird scans my account for RSS feeds, I am told that there is no such listing for ‘http://tom1950.wordpress.com/comments/feed/’. The next comment will reactivate the RSS feed.
What is going on here? Does the feed sort of “time out” if no comments appear after a given time limit?
