RSS Feed Won't Post

[Marco van Herwaarden]

There is no feed at http://www.blu-raydefinition.com/feed/ it seems. I only get an empty directory.

Here is the RSS 2.0 feed: http://www.blu-raydefinition.com/feed

Post back when your host fixes the issue. Right now, all I'm getting is a directory with that feed, not any sort of rss output.

Will do. I don't know what the heck happened to the feed, because it was actually working, I just couldn't get it to post into the forum. Now, I can't see it at all. I need to fix it in Wordpress.

EDIT:
I've discovered that the RSS .92 and Atom .03 feeds are still working without any issues:

The RSS 2.0 feed seems to working now again and my redirect issues have all been fixed:

I got the RSS feeds working and they are now posting into the forum. I was wondering now if someone could instruct me on how to get it formatted so that instead of posting the entire post into the forum it would post only a summary and then I could simply insert a "Read More" link to direct people to the front page?

Thats the opposite of my problem. I get a summery with a "Read More" link but want to make the summery longer and include video.. Still searching the forums but came across this thread. Maybe the answer to your question will also answer mine!

H_G, the amount of text that is sent to be posted in your forum is set by the site that offers the rss feed. So, see if you have any settings for your wordpress rss feed that will limit the amount of text it sends out.

Thanks. Unfortunately, I see no settings in my Wordpress installation to set that. Unfortunately, it's a custom theme and the RSS widget doesn't even seem to have an effect on the RSS feed. The settings for it must be buried somewhere else in the theme. Anyhow, the feed is working, and I can at least limit the post to strictly the headlines by using the RSS .92 feed instead of the 2.0 feed it seems.

Oddly, the RSS feed works and I can get the feed to post into the forum, but I have to keep resetting the scheduled time and running the scheduled task manually in order for it to post into the forum. I have no idea why this should be. I have it set to check every 10-minutes. When I checked it today, it hadn't run in a few days. So, really, I'm still puzzled over the behavior of this RSS thing in vBulletin.

Are there any new posts in the feed?

Otherwise i would suggest posting this on vb.com or a support ticket.

Yeah, there are new posts in the feed, and the point being, of course, that if it is set to check it every 10-minutes (I did that purposely so I could track exactly if it was working or not) it shouldn't show a last time checked of one week ago, which was the last time I ran it manually. I guess I will have to head over to vBulletin.com and see what they have to say about this, because I really shouldn't have to run it manually every time I add new content if it is set to run the task on its own.

Thanks for all the help anyway everyone.

I had the same problem and reviewed my site settings in setup and realized I had put a forward slash under site url. Removed it and the feeds are working perfectly.
Check:
VBOptions/SiteName/URL/contaxt info:
site url should not have a forward slash.
