RSS feed / scheduled task not updating - Date set as last update at 8th Aug

[John Diver]

Hey,

I don't know why but my RSS feeds aren't updating, I tried to add a few new feeds but they aren't retrieving at all, there is no last date set when I run manually and in the log, the last update it is showing is from 8th Aug (4 days) ago.

But when I run the scheduled task manually, it is loading a few other feeds I had setup previously and also getting the feed without any problems..

Not sure what is going wrong.

The last checked for the feed is staying at "-" - So the feed isn't being checked, even when run manually..

Thanks

I have the same problem.
On another forum I have it pulls in the rss feeds fine

[John Diver]

Same with me...Tried it on my other site with the same feed and its working no problem...

Do you run 4.2.0?

[John Diver]

No, I am running 3.8

Read threads from people having the same problem for a few years now but there hasn't been a fix...

Anything in your error_logs (if you don't know where they are, ask your host)? Are your other Scheduled Tasks running?

[John Diver]

Nothing in my error logs Lynne and the other scheduled tasks are running, including RSS feeds - I added a few others that I know are working, and updating, but they aren't working with vB..

Thanks Lynne

So when you run the task manually from the adminCP, do you see any messages?

Do you have anything entered in "Search Items for Words"?

And I guess you've tried copying the url to your browser to see if it's working?

Maybe try creating a new feed with the same url and post it to a junk thread somewhere, and see if that one works.

Hey Kevin,

So when you run the task manually from the adminCP, do you see any messages?

Nothing at all for the tasks..

Do you have anything entered in "Search Items for Words"?

No, I don't have anything entered for any feeds.

And I guess you've tried copying the url to your browser to see if it's working?

Yeah, I have done it with a few and they are working fine, just not working in vB.

Maybe try creating a new feed with the same url and post it to a junk thread somewhere, and see if that one works.

I did that on a test forum and it is working without a problem, but there are 4 or 5 feeds not working on my live forum - The feeds haven't even been checked, the last time is showing as "-" - so I dont think they have been checked at all.

Thanks Kevin!

Hmm...OK, well, you could try removing one of the ones that's not working and recreate it. If you do that, you might get duplicates (if they were ever working at all, that is), but it could fix the problem.
