I want to display RSS posts in WordPress. The default RSS plugin lets one see items by adding source. I added valid RSS source, but WordPress gives following error,
RSS Error: A feed could not be found at https://medium.com/feed/#mbertulli. A feed with an invalid mime type may fall victim to this error, or SimplePie was unable to auto-discover it.. Use force_feed() if you are certain this URL is a real feed.

The best way I have found to get Facebook Group Events into WordPress is to use Yahoo Pipes to create an RSS Feed. The feed that I have is as follows:
https://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?Facebook_ID=1608419542769806&_id=1301d12f49b904e56afe3f420366a3c4&_render=rss
This works fine, but when I try to render this on a WordPress page with the Embed RSS plugin, it loads fine in the preview, but once it is inserted into the page, I receive the following error:
RSS Error: A feed could not be found at
https://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?Facebook_ID=1608419542769806&_id=1301d12f49b904e56afe3f420366a3c4&%23038;_render=rss.
A feed with an invalid mime type may fall victim to this error, or
SimplePie was unable to auto-discover it.. Use force_feed() if you are
certain this URL is a real feed.
Now, I can easily add the following code to my functions.php theme file:
add_action('wp_feed_options', 'force_feed', 10, 1);
function force_feed($feed) {
$feed->force_feed(true);
}
but that just changes the error to:
RSS Error: A feed could not be found at
https://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?Facebook_ID=1608419542769806&_id=1301d12f49b904e56afe3f420366a3c4&%23038;_render=rss.
This does not appear to be a valid RSS or Atom feed.
Is there something I'm missing? All I want to do is spit out text onto a WordPress page of the Facebook Group Event details.
There are different plugins for facebook streaming . Try the plugin 'custom-facebook-feed' . I think it will be the better option.
I want to create a RSS feed based on the Tumblr tags I use. I want to submit some of my posts to a blog syndication service. To the blog syndicator I have to provide a RSS feed. But I don't want all posts to appear there. Is there a way I can do something like this?
When I tag a post with a specific keyword: (eg: #blog) the post will
get added to the RSS feed.
If the #blog tag is not there, the post doesn't get included to the RSS feed.
OP found the answer themselves here it is:
mydomain.tumblr.com/tagged/tagx/rss
Adding /rss after a tumblr URL apparently generates an RSS feed (probably only if the blog has enabled RSS).
I've config'ed a WP blog (now at 3.0) to provide full RSS feeds. Yet WP insists on producing excerpt RSS feeds.
What could cause this? How does WP produce an RSS feed? (i.e. what functions get called, what gets filtered, what hooks run, etc.)
It could be several reasons. Most likely either
a. A plugin the manipulates your RSS feed. Do you have one such installed?
b. Some manipulating code in your theme's "functions.php" file...
Could you check either of those out, or go a bit more into detail?
I'm creating some feeds of news items and such. These items have URL aliases set for them. Is there a reason why the URL alias do not get used in the RSS feed?
I have a multi-language site which uses the path aliases to show correct navigation, and so when I get a 'node' link from the feed, it breaks everything.
EDIT
I'm creating the rss feed as using views
When I do a live preview in the view the correct link is shown. So the incorrect link comes somewhere after that.
Are you creating the feeds using Views? if not you should do it. It may be happening that the code that's returning the feed is printing the links to the nodes without using the l() function so aren't being translated to the corresponding alias.
Just in case, here it's a nice tutorial about how to do a feed with Views http://drupal.org/node/314097
I like giving my users the full text RSS feed, but I also have a few sites which pull the RSS feed and link to us from it. They want me to provide the excerpt/blurbs for the articles rather than the full text. Can anyone give me some direction on how to make this happen?
It should be possible. Wordpress has multiple feed types (see WordPress Feeds) and there are hooks for each feed type (see Feed Actions API). This suggests that you should be able to set up one feed type as a partial feed, and another as a full-text feed. Basically, you'd just be re-writing one of these feed types to ignore the setting you indicated on the "Reading Settings" admin screen.
I bet this could be done w/ a pretty simple plug-in.
