Hi Mandeep,

The RSS feed server itself was throwing internal server error. I’m not sure why. If the RSS feed works, the reader will work.

But the above issue is not seen very often. When I looked at your site now, the reader works as expected.

Like in my previous email, I would suggest using a proxy like “feedburner” for your RSS feed to see if it helps.

Thanks,

Hi there,

Thanks for using Announcer – PRO.

Looks like you have activated the free version. The free version must be deactivated before the PRO version can be activated.

Installation

I have deactivated the free version and activated the PRO version on your website.

Thanks,

Hi Kim,

Thanks for checking Shortcoder. For the requirement you have mentioned, shortcoder might not be the solution. To add a button to every post you must use a different plugin or use WordPress API using PHP to add button like in the discussion below.

Hi @Chroma,

Can you please share a screenshot of the “repository edit settings” page in GIW? I would like to see the repository against your configuration.

Also, if the repository is private, please enter the authentication settings in the GIW main page below the table.

Thanks,

Hi Simon,

Thanks for using Super RSS Reader – PRO.

I analyzed the RSS feed you are using and see that the title and description are of same text hence you are seeing the same in the reader.

Since Super RSS Reader works on the RSS feed content, it happens to be that the source material is having such content.

1) I would suggest try different RSS feed source with same content.
2) Disable feed description altogether and keep only the title and the image.

Please let me know how I can help you further on this.

Thanks,
Aakash

Hi Mandeep,

I tried looking at this and I’m not sure why Google news RSS feed is gave http error 503 (internal server error). This is something beyond plugin’s control. Not sure if Google is blacklisting your server.

Also, can you confirm if you have placed any PHP code to increase the RSS feed refresh/cache time? May be that frequency is prohibiting Google news to stop serving the RSS feed to your site?

What I have done now is created a proxy for google news RSS feed using feedburner. So the RSS feed URL would be https://feeds.feedburner.com/google/LF5KTaTKj6J. Please let me know how it goes.

Thanks,

Hi,

I see the error now. As mentioned previously Google reports error 503 which means “server error” on the Google news side.

Or Google is blocking the requests coming from your website. Google can do it it thinks many RSS requests are coming from your site or if there is any abuse.

All other RSS feed works fine.

I’ll check what can be done here.

Thanks,

Hi Mandeep,

I just logged in to your site. I noticed that “Debugging mode” was turned on in Super RSS Reader – PRO settings page.

I disabled that now and see the page is loading and RSS feed is displayed as expected.

Please check if the issue is resolved. I wouldn’t be able to join for a call until 11PM IST. We can communicate over email if that is comfortable for you.

Thanks,

Hi Mandeep,

I did not do anything but the RSS Reader was already working without any issues.

Hi Mandeep,

I tried the same URL but do not see any issue. Please see the image below.

Error 503 means service is unavailable. May be the RSS feed server was not available when you tried. If issue persists, please give another RSS feed URL a try too.

Thanks,

Hi Kiefer,

Thanks for checking Announcer plugin. Unfortunately, there is no integration or dynamic change of content. However, every announcement is just like a post. So if you are comfortable with PHP then you can modify the announcement content using WordPress APIs. But there is no plan to support this out of the box.

Announcer plugin works well with static announcement messages by default.

Thanks,
Aakash

Hi Kiefer,

Thanks for trying Announcer plugin.

Yes it is possible to show the announcement bar on specific page as needed. Can you please navigate to announcement settings -> “Location rules” -> “Show in selected pages” and add the rules?

Thanks,
Aakash

Hi Mandeep,

Yes, the feature has been added to the latest version. You can upgrade to SRR v5 and uninstall the “MOD” plugin. You can also find the email I sent to you regarding this when the release was published.

Thanks,
