RSS Widgets broken
-
Hey guys.
when I add RSS 1-9 to sidebar and edit that to show rss links, that say Error: could not find an RSS or ATOM feed at that URL. and not added to side bar.Sorry I can’t speak English ;)
-
Which URL are you using? For your own blog you should use http://kamiarn.wordpress.com/feed
-
Thank but I want add other sites feed, for example : last CNN headlines or Last Del.icio.us bookmarks,….
-
You need to find the feed related to the specific site.
CNN Top Stories feed is this:
http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.rss
Place the URL in the proper place within the widget and you should be good to go.
In the upper right hand corner of the CNN page it says “RSS Feeds”
Every feed they offer is right there.
It essentially works the same way on other sites as well.
Hope that helps.

This is not a theme dependent issue. Look at your (5) above
5-the feed not shown in my blog (http://kamiarn.wordpress.com)
your feed is http://kamiarn.wordpress.com/feedIf you want feed to news services like CNN for example then they look like these – click the link http://www.cnn.com/services/rss/ and look at them please.

The RSS widget is flaky if the feed doesn’t validate.
Try using feedvalidator.org on the URL before using it in a widget.
I’ve found a trick where I create a FeedBurner feed of a feed that doesn’t validate, and then I can use it in a widget. http://feedburner.com
1. take feed that doesn’t validate
2. log into feedburner.com and burn a new feed based on the RSS url from #1
3. add the feedburner RSS url from #2 as a sidebar widgetPS: If you want to show your delicious bookmarks, just use the delicious widget instead of the RSS widget.

all feeds I want add to widgets are validate!
feedburner.com/bbc.com/del.icio.us/digg.com/wordpress.com/….! -
you still haven’t given us any URLs of feeds you have tried. Please paste the URLs that aren’t working here, so we can perhaps see what is wrong.

I have no problems with the various feeds I’ve used. I use the actual del.icio.us widget instead of the direct feed, so I can’t say anything about that one. But, I do have my Flickr feed in a regular RSS widget. It’s working just fine. I had experimented with other feeds and never had a problem with them. Here’s my Flickr feed that works without error:
http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?id=67264698%40N00&lang=en-us&format=rss_200
Paste that as the address in one of your RSS blocks and see if it gives you an error.

http://kamiar.viwio.com/rss/user
http://del.icio.us/rss/kamiar
http://mhmazidi.wordpress.com/feed
http://feeds.feedburner.com/kamiar/home
http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?id=24673215@N00&lang=en-us&format=rss_200
….and any feeds!
I haven’t this problem on other wordpress blogs! http://kamiar.wordpress.com or http://kamiar.ir or http://kamiar.net and …!Thank you for your helps ;-)

del.icio.us and flickr.com has censorship in Iran and I cant use the direct del.icio.us and flickr widget.

I clicked them all.
All of them except the feedburner one added to Google Reader just fine.
I have Firefox set up to automatically take a feed URL and redirect it to Google Reader.
The feedburner one just pop up the page. So it might not be a RSS feed. I don’t know enough about feedburner to tell you.
