Hi,

 

I want to show the recent topic from a forum on my home page. I copy a RSS link from a forum and validate the RSS link at http://validator.w3.org/feed/. After that, I paste the RSS link into a RSS widget. Then I check the home page. The recent topics list show correctly. But some links are broken. some links are good.

 

For example:

This is a link I click a topic from RSS feed URL on Home page:

http://gogoamerica.com/forum-2.....st-3/#p325

 

This is a link I click a topic from Forum page:

http://gogoamerica.com/forum-2.....ح-test-3/

 

Above they are the same topic but I got 404 Error: Not found. It is so frustrated sometimes the link works sometimes doesn't without doing nothing. Plus when someone posts a new topic all RSS links broke.

 

Please help!

Neither of those urls are correct. They both seem to have had the 'rss' part stripped from the url. I would guess the widget is perhaps doing this?

Also note that you are including the feedkey in that url and this is personal to a single user - in this case probably you. This means that only you would be able to vier the results in any case. For this you would need to turn feedkeys off in the RSS options.

Thanks for your suggestion. For RSS option, I disable the feedkey option from Simple Press Forum. Everything is working well. Thanks for fast support. :)
