Feeds not valid that were was created by Mike Underwood
Hi,

I have a couple of feeds going into a site one of the feeds is from another page on the site and neither of these feeds are being picked up. I upgraded to V3.8 from v3.7 to see if that would resolve the problem but it is not. The feeds are listed below. I am getting the error Failed loading XML... previously with V3.7 I was getting that error along with something else that had since cleared up. The site is: madtrucker.com/ and the 2 feeds in question are below. I can use NetNewsWire and that is able to fetch and display both feeds.

madtrucker.com/our-stories/?format=feed&type=rss
www.trucknews.com/rss/

Any help on this would be great.

Thank you,
Mike

Thank you, I downloaded that and gave it a try and I am still seeing the Failed loading XML... error message. When I installed the extension at the bottom it said: (Last update: March 29th, 2020 - version 3.8.0). FYI. I did go into the cache directory and clear that manually to be on the safe side.

Thank you,
Mike

Try each feed separately and after saving the module, clear your cache to remove the cached data from each feed.

Do this to find out which feed fails.

Thank you for getting back to me, the only feed still failing is this one: madtrucker.com/our-stories/?format=feed&type=rss which opens in my RSS reader as it should. This is a feed out of page madtrucker.com/our-stories to get these onto the front page. This used to work fine, I think it might have started failing when I updated to V3.7 about a month or two back and we did not notice the problem as I failed to clear the cache, after updating the extension.

Just tested that feed and it works just fine for me. See this: jmp.sh/6a8JJmz

Perhaps it's some .htaccess rule or some other recent server change that's causing your own site to not be able to parse its own feeds...

Thank you for checking that for me, I created a test page on my site and it works there too. I then cleared and then checked the logs on both sites after going to the page, on my site the log is empty and the page displays fine but on madtrucker.com/ I am getting the following errors. Does any of these message, help with letting me know where to look for the problem on my end?

Thank you,
Mike

Indeed I did saw SSL issues when checking that feed using curl on a terminal, so ensure that your site is properly served over HTTPS.

My curl results for your reference:
$ curl -I "https://madtrucker.com/our-stories/?format=feed&type=rss"
curl: (60) SSL certificate problem: certificate has expired
More details here: https://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html

curl performs SSL certificate verification by default, using a "bundle"
 of Certificate Authority (CA) public keys (CA certs). If the default
 bundle file isn't adequate, you can specify an alternate file
 using the --cacert option.
If this HTTPS server uses a certificate signed by a CA represented in
 the bundle, the certificate verification probably failed due to a
 problem with the certificate (it might be expired, or the name might
 not match the domain name in the URL).
If you'd like to turn off curl's verification of the certificate, use
 the -k (or --insecure) option.
HTTPS-proxy has similar options --proxy-cacert and --proxy-insecure.

Bypassing the certificate error, I also get a weird 403 error:
$ curl -Ik "https://madtrucker.com/our-stories/?format=feed&type=rss"

Thank you so much, that tells me where to look. The SSL is valid with a correct name, it might be the bundle or something was not installed correctly. I will look into that, the weird 403 was the site firewall blocking you for some reason. I will also look into that now that I know there is a problem.

Once again, thank you!
Mike

True, the 403 error probably came up because I used curl on the terminal and did not specify a valid browser user-agent. The module DOES use a browser user-agent to bypass such restrictions, but in your case, file_get_contents() falls back to a default check of the site's SSL certificate and whether it's valid or not.
