hi,
I have a strange problem, at http://www.criticalmass.at/ you have a point in the sidebar wich is called "Neues aus dem Forum". this is an standard wordpress rss widget with the rss feed of the bbpress forum: http://www.criticalmass.at/forum/rss/
the feed itself is working fine, also the other rss widgets, but for the forum feed in the widget, it doesn't show the newest topics/posts.
wordpress 2.5 & bbpress 0.9.0.1
just upgraded to 0.9.0.2, and it's working again. not sure if it was the bbpress update or the 2.5.1 wordpress update.
ok, the problem is suddenly back. the rss feed isn't updating in the widget anymore.
Did you try validating the feed
http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.criticalmass.at%2Fforum%2Frss%2F
The feed URL returns a 404 Not found Error if you check the headers:
http://www.criticalmass.at/forum/rss/
This sounds like WordPress trying to handle the /forum/ URL and sending a 404 error when the page actually exists. There was a plugin to take care of this sort of thing, I think...
I think that plugin will resolve the fact that the feed actually returns a 404 error, then I bet the widget will pull the feed just fine. Report back please...
thanks chris for the help, that did the job. since the rss feed was displaying fine in FF, I didn't thought about validating it.
