Remote RSS disappeared

Post by Gamersea »

Hello yesterday everything was ok on 1 of my blogs since today I go on the site and normally on the right side you see 3 remote rss feeds of Planet, Financeel Nieuws and another one but now they all have been disappeared but you do can see them in the admin panel if you go to the plugins.

Hi!

The remote rss feeds are cached on your server; if when the cache needs to be updated the feeds are down or your server can't connect, the cached feeds will be stored empty, and then only show up after the next cache update is scheduled.

This is to prevent endless loops for unavailable feeds.

You can force a cache update manually if you delete the *cache* files in the templates_c/ directory.

Best regards,
Garvin

Not working I deleted the .dat files of those rss feeds but it is still blank on the right side and the browser still say: Ready but ready with errors.

http://janwietsma.nl/ it only happend on that site and all my sites that using this blog system are on the same server so than is my question how the ..... can this only be happend on that site I didn't changed anything so, the only thing I added to the site root was a robots.txt file.

Well the cache files are back on the server and up-to-date:

Code: Select all

<a href="http://www.fd.nl/ShowNews.asp?NewsId=211652" target="_blank">Organon (Akzo) krijgt goedkeuring voor NuvaRing in Australie</a><br />
<div class="serendipitySideBarDate">Vrijdag, juli  7. 2006</div><br /><a href="http://www.fd.nl/ShowNews.asp?NewsId=211650" target="_blank">Delta Lloyd-moeder Aviva in overnamegesprekken met AmerUs</a><br />
<div class="serendipitySideBarDate">Vrijdag, juli  7. 2006</div><br /><a href="http://www.fd.nl/ShowRedactieNieuws.asp?DocumentId=29074" target="_blank">Bankfiliaal verdwijnt op termijn</a><br />
<div class="serendipitySideBarDate">Vrijdag, juli  7. 2006</div><br />
and as you can see here: on this image where you see the text "there should be 3 rss remoters ..... on that place there should be those rss remoters and those 3 .dat files have been updated now after I deleted them.

Hi!

It is interesting - if you look inside the HTML output of your page you WILL see the RSS feed contents there!

But they are not displayed, because it seems the HTML code of the googlead script above is not well-formed/contains HTML errors. Which ones, I don't really know...

But you can look here:

http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1 ... tsma.nl%2F

This contains a list of many HTML errors; most of the can be fixed if you install the "Fix common XHTML errors" markup plugin. You need to replace all "&" with "&" in the links that you entered in your entries, else it is not valid XHTML. The plugin will do that replacement for you automatically.

Try to fix those errors and then maybe you fiond the HTML culprit?

Best regards,
Garvin

Well yeah I think my dad didn't put in the links good the ones in his last entry.
Well I installed that plugin but nothing happend, I also don't know or I have to turn on all the options of that plugin like the html one.

However it should be strange if it was the google adsense code because I got that one at every site I own.

Edit: By the way yesterday I installed the google sitemap plugin could that be the problem?

Hi!

Yes, the XHTML fix plugin needs to be enabled for all of your "entry body" and "extended body" portions.

If you are using the caching function of the entryproperties plugin, you will need to rebuild your cache using the link in the admin menu, or else the new plugin will not be executed for old entries.
However it should be strange if it was the google adsense code because I got that one at every site I own.
But you did look into your HTML code? The output of the RSS plugin is all there! And the adsense plugin is the one immediately before it.

I'm quite sure if you move the adsense plugin down to the right sidebar, your RSS feeds will display there...

It must be a adsense/HTTML problem.

Yes, I did and everything showed up again, But then the new question how did that code suddenly changed without me or my dad changing the code.

For getting the feeds back THANKS!

By the way about that cached thing where can I see that? Because I think I don't have cache on.

Hi!

Are you sure you didn't change it? When I view the code with my Firefox, the HTML of the rss sidebar was also no longer highlighted, it was as if a missing " was in there which broke it.

Maybe <iframe /> does not work and you need to use <iframe>...</iframe> instead?

Garvin

Hi!

Ah, great, there are only 2 errors remaining :)

The first one is that "baseline" is no valid align attribute. you must change that to "bottom".

Best regards,
