User peterdalydickson is having trouble getting RSS links to work on their Discourse site. They’ve tried using the suggested links but receive an error message in Feedly. Jonathan5 suggested checking the RSS feed using the W3C Feed Validation Service, but peterdalydickson still received an error message. Krischan discovered that the site is “invite only” which may be the reason the feed is not publicly available. peterdalydickson acknowledged this as the likely cause.
I’ve found a reference to the different RSS links for my Discourse site.
But none of them seem to work.
For example, if I put https://cc-discourse.bluepeg.org/c/good-news-stories.rss into feedly, I get…
We were not able to find an RSS feed for https://cc-discourse.bluepeg.org/c/good-news-stories.rss.
Please contact the website and ask them if they offer a valid RSS feed.
Is there anything I have to configure that I’ve missed?
What am I doing wrong?
That looks like it should work for the Good News Stories category.
There is some discussion of RSS elsewhere, eg Enabling RSS feed on Discourse setup - #8 by codinghorror
On my forum I’m sure it just worked without changing any settings.
Have you tried W3C Feed Validation Service, for Atom and RSS ?
Thanks @Jonathan5.

I get a similar message.
It looks like this is a web page, not a feed. I looked for a feed associated with this page, but couldn’t find one. Please enter the address of your feed to validate.
Any advice on how to troubleshoot, as I appear to be doing what’s explained at Enabling RSS feed on Discourse setup - #8 by codinghorror?
Your site is “invite only”. That’s why the feed is not publicly available, I guess. Not sure, if you can provide the appropriate credentials for this somehow …
Thanks @Krischan
