  Hi… not sure waht I did, but the rss shortcode that was working for me a few weeks ago now just shows the shortcode instead of returning a list of posts. Can you help me figure out why?

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

  The page where I’m trying to use the RSS shortcode is https://unitedrebellioncom.wpcomstaging.com/events/

  Hi there,

  It looks like the owner of the site and business plan, unitedrebel, installed some plugins yesterday. Doing that causes some changes to a site behind the scenes, and can cause some features to stop working. The RSS shortcode is one of the features that doesn’t work on a Business Plan site using plugins.

  Have you been using this inside a post or page? If so, you can use the RSS block in the editor instead.

  Alternatively, you can look for a RSS feed plugin that does what you want at https://wordpress.org/plugins/

  Also note that with the Business Plan, any admin on the site can contact live chat support via the contact form at https://wordpress.com/help/contact, so you don’t need to post here in the forums if you have a question :)
