but its your wp blog rss feed - not the forum rss feed...   you said the forum rss feed doesnt work - but its a different feed than your wp blog post rss feed...

OK - I have to ask if you are logging in with the info I sent you. I set up an account where the RSS feeds shows up just for you. If you're not logging in you won't see them.

I'm thinking that's the problem so I sent you an PM with the sidebar you should be seeing.

yes. that last widget on the bottom is NOT a simple press RSS feed...  its a feed of your wp rss feed...

OK I have to say, if this was a TV show this is the part where the camera's come out and the host says something about me being punk'd. You see - the funny part is - that's the whole dad-blamed problem since jump street. I  put in the SimplePress Forum RSS feed in that widget (or any widget) and get THE SITE FEED! This is the whole problem. I enter one thing yet see another. I know that is the WordPress RSS feed yet that is not what I entered in the widget. I entered the SimplePress RSS feed.

So here's something strange. This was happening before and I never was able to figure out a solution. When I subscribe to my Simple:Press Forum's RSS feed I only seem to get feed from the site posts and not any from the forums themselves.

That's my first post on the matter and maybe I didn't spell it out in excruciating detail so my bad. Oh well - I know you guys have better things to do and this frankly I'm not quite sure where the disconnect is. Just one last time so you really understand that I'm not kidding you...

Step 1: I enter my SimplePress Forum RSS feed into Widget A

Step 2: I see my site RSS feed get spit out of Widget A on sidebar.

Step 3: I spend 3 days and 24 replies explaining this.

All kidding aside - I am almost certain your next response will be "well that sounds like a problem with your site 'cause we've never seen anything like that" but maybe I can still be surprised here.

No worries and I do appreciate the time spent and apologies for any confusion caused.

PS. ... and yes - when I test the above Simple Press RSS feed from Step 1 in my Firefox toolbar bar it works as expected (as I have also mentioned in prior posts)

Seriously - I think both Steve and I misread and misunderstood this. I thought you were just getting no results at all from the SP feed in the widget.

But - it actually DOES sound like something is intervening and preventing the SP feed url from being actioned and converting it to the WP default feed url. So first possibility would be some sort of redirection taking place. Do you have any plugins installed that may be performing redirection? Although if that were the case i would expect all feed calls to the SP code to be redirected. But worth asking.

HEEHEE - ok that actually did make me laugh.

As to your question - yeah - I have the site pretty well free and open on the RSS feed stuff but I'll check again. it is really strange and I do appreciate you guys responding.

yikes... when you said you were only seeing your posts in the sp rss feed, took that to mean your forum posts...  lol, but not your wp posts...

and this is the rss widget shipped with wp? works fine for me...  so what url are you entering?

HA!!!! MISTER PAPA! You can't ask that! OK, you actually can but you know you asked that before, in this thread and I answered it.... already.....

... are you guys SURE you're not running the camera.

Just to be fair it was here https://simple-press.com/suppo.....s/#p105774

To answer the question again - default widget and the URL is the SimplePress forum feed URL.

OK - well the URL format is:

http://www.thisismysite.com/fo.....c/?group=1

I tried it with and without s2Member and the results were the same.

I did get the latest version of the templates tag plugin but I'm not exactly certain what is being asked here. I'm completely open to any solution. Is there anything I should be 'setting up' to see how this works. I hate to sound completely clueless but let's just pretend I could use any help possible.
