RSS Feeds, HTTPS and HTML


Recommended Posts

I have a blog at https://thersr.wordpress.comand I have eventually managed to create an RSS feed, with the help of

a tech guy at Wordpress.com using Feedburner that allows my blog entries to appear on RMweb. But it's not perfect.

 

The RSS feed page on RMweb suggests that the feed should begin http:// Anybody using Wordpress will have an https://

feed which is clearly preferred but such feeds do not seem to be recognised on here.

 

So having created a new feed using Feedburner I find that any post I created in my blog after that point appears on

RMWeb with all the html code around the text.

 

Posts I made before the Feedburner action are clean, which seems very odd to me.

 

Would really appreciate the view of one of RMWeb's tech guys on this as clearly it's not very satisfactory.

 

Many thanks

Very puzzled too as word-wrap doesn't seem to be working when I write on here.

Good question Mike. I don't know. I don't recall seeing an option but a lot is hidden. If I understood the tech guy correctly he told me

that https was the only option but I will clarify with him.

 

Personally, I am surprised that RMweb won't take https: if indeed that is the problem I have encountered.

 

We shall see. :-)

Is there a reason you are running all your blog through an SSL (https) connection? Does wordpress.com not give you an option to turn it off (or only run parts of the blog through https)?

 

Cheers, Mike

Here is the confirmation from Wordpress. It is as I thought originally : "There isn't an option to turn off HTTPS I'm afraid. We force all .wordpress.com site URLs to HTTPS. It provides a more secure browsing experience. It looks like it also gives sites a bit of a boost in Google searches"

I doubt the IPBoard techs read this forum at all, and with regards to the issue you're having, I wouldn't mind betting this is an IPBoard problem, and not an RMweb one.

Thanks Ian. I suspect you are right but it would be nice for somebody to at least acknowledge the matter, even if there is nothing they can do.
