Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted December 1, 20222 yr I'm trying to set up an RSS feed to a forum, but getting an error "That is not a valid RSS or Atom feed." I can PM the feed address, and it's W3C Feed Validation Service confirming it is valid.
December 1, 20222 yr Author Solution It appears to be a source site issue, not something in the AdminCP. Subsequent attempts to add it eventually work. Sorry @Jim M, thanks for the quick reply and review!
December 6, 20222 yr Author Bumping this one as I'm still having an issue with a different RSS feed that is valid but is returning the same error. Are there any logs I can look at that might give me more information than the response payload? That is not a valid RSS or Atom feed.

December 8, 20222 yr It's working fine for me on my test instance, so there must be something else going on what we'll need to investigate. Unfortunately I'm not able to get into your ACP, could you please review your ACP credentials we have on file?
December 8, 20222 yr Author Hi @Daniel F, the client area credentials should be accurate now. Please try again. Thanks!

December 8, 20222 yr Cloudflare is blocking your server from accessing the site and instead of returning the feed, it's returning a captcha challenge! That's the response which was returned instead of the feed: <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en-US"> <head> <title>Just a moment...</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge"> <meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1"> <link href="/cdn-cgi/styles/challenges.css" rel="stylesheet"> </head> <body class="no-js"> <div class="main-wrapper" role="main"> <div class="main-content"> <h1 class="zone-name-title h1"> <img class="heading-favicon" src="/favicon.ico" onerror="this.onerror=null;this.parentNode.removeChild(this)"> .. </h1> <h2 class="h2" id="challenge-running"> Checking if the site connection is secure </h2> <noscript> <div id="challenge-error-title"> <div class="h2"> <span class="icon-wrapper"> <div class="heading-icon warning-icon"></div> </span> <span id="challenge-error-text"> Enable JavaScript and cookies to continue </span> </div> </div> </noscript> <div id="trk_jschal_js" style="display:none;background-image:url('/cdn-c ...
December 8, 20222 yr Author I had thought I tried this with CF disabled to verify whether it was CF. I'll review the CF side and see if I can work around this...will keep you posted. Thanks @Daniel F!

So the feed site is returning a CF captcha challenge to my site (host), which explains why yours isn't getting it during your testing. OK, I don't know how to correct that exactly, but will review. Thanks for the clarification!

I’ve seen this happening few times and have to say that It’s becoming a real issue. I have created an internal suggestion to look into improving the experience so that it’s at least easier for the admin to know what’s going on when it fails

Maybe log it to Error logs so it gets visibility to be reviewed.
