I had the idea to enter the global RSS feed into the WP widget so in the sidebar it would list recent discussed topics. I enabled all RSS then pasted the link but it’s always saying there is an error or no feed now, maybe try later. Roughly translated from french.
Then I tried pasting your own support forum RSS link (https://simple-press.com/support-forum/an-rss-query/7ee29cd2-aceb-4e04-a5e9-89434f0f2e05/) and it worked. What could be the problem?
What do you mean by handle? I disabled ‘Enable feedkeys for private RSS feeds’ so the global RSS feed link end with forum/rss/
When I click it, Firefox and IE9 know it’s a feed but when I paste that into the WP RSS widget that I add into the sidebar, it does not work. What’s strange is that it work if I past your own support forum RSS link (https://simple-press.com/suppor…..34f0f2e05/).
I tried enabling the feedkeys but it didn’t work either.
not sure what the other plugin is doing… but the feed is valid?
when the page loads, can you view the source and see if anything there?
I believe it is valid, if I click it both browser show me it’s a feed and some content.
When you have a minute, now that you got the URL to my site, please go click “Tous les flux RSS” button at the bottom. The URL I get at the top is the one I copy and paste. I tried installing a new plugin and it says No centent. Why both browsers show me content when I click it but widgets don’t see anything with the same URL?
Could it be that at the beginning I clicked Disable All RSS Feeds then even if I later enabled it, something was broke? Dare to try here? 
can you tell me the text you are using for your blog description? perhaps there is another translation issue with international characters…
all the site info is coming back empty…
also after trying to view the feed, take a look at forum – toolbox – error log for any related errors…
and you did look at each individual forum on forum – forums – mange groups and forums and make sure the rss feed is enabled?

No quote in there… you’re talking about the name and shot description we enter in WP General options, right?
all the site info is coming back empty…
What do you mean?

None, I try to keep and eye there so I take a look from time to time…
and you did look at each individual forum on forum – forums – mange groups and forums and make sure the rss feed is enabled?
Yes they are all enabled, the Global RSS Settings disable/enable all of them.
when you go to your global rss feed, view the page source… you will see the basic site info tried to put in the headers… but its all empty… that is just wp info…
no other feed plugins that might be interferring?
do we still have ftp access? I could see what is going on in the feed generation code…
I tried disabling most of WP plugins, tried another theme but nothing happen. I knew this would not impact because I’m able to show your forum feed on my page.
Wonder if I now should disable/delete S:P and start over?
Well, after spending more time into this, I think I will simply pass and forget about it. I may have a big problem but I believe there is also a general problem with RSS feed updates and I don’t know yet if it’s WP related or S:P related.
For exemple I visited http://www.slidedeck.com/wordpress/ and on the right we can enter a RSS feed, so I took the All RSS link from here (button at bottom) and guess what, the most recent post shown by the slider is 6 hours old and this is not the case when I look here. Obviously there are delay and I have no idea where they are coming from. I’m not a RSS expert either so I don’t know exactly how this should work.
It would have been great to be able to display the 5 most recent post in a sidebar but it looks like it’s not that way I will be able to do that.
so this is all about showing recent topics in the forum??? why not just use our built in widget??? or one of our template tags for the same? and dont mess with some rss widget…

On any WP page with a sidebar I wanted to show the 5 most recent post. Since RSS is should update with every new post and that WP comes with a RSS widget I thougt I was set.
What S:P built in widget you are talking about? I took another look at the bottom of the download page and dont see one. I don’t know template tags, I will look in codex if it’s described, what are they, and what we can do and how to use those.
If you install the template tags plugin and turn it on you will see a new widget available in WP. It is in the download page, center column close to the bottom.
You can add it to be shown in a sidebar or wherever your theme allows widgets.
See the info here in the codex help files on how it is setup and used.
You can also put it anywhere on your site using ?php sp_RecentPostsTag().
All the option are shown at the top of the template-tags/library/sp-RecentPosts-tag.php file.
I use them quite a bit if you want to see an example of it. On http://vulkanocommunity.com/forum/ you will see the widget in the right sidebar. If you go to the home page you will see the tag used by itself in the right column. (Recent Discussions)
