I’m having trouble fetching RSS feeds from my Discourse forum, thePros, and I’m hoping to get some guidance on resolving the issue.

### **Issue Description:**

I am using RSS to fetch data from my Discourse forums. In my Mamapedia forum, all RSS feeds are working fine. However, in ThePros forum, no RSS feeds are working—including the latest posts feed and category-specific feeds.

### **Working Example:**

- **Forum:** Mamapedia
- **RSS Feed URL:** [https://forum.mamapedia.com/latest.rss](https://forum.mamapedia.com/latest.rss)
- **Validation Report:** [W3 Validator Report](https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=https%3A%2F%2Fforum.mamapedia.com%2Flatest.rss)
- **Result:** Works fine

### **Issue with thePros Forum:**

- **Forum:** ThePros
- **Latest RSS Feed URL:** [https://forum.get.it/latest.rss](https://forum.get.it/latest.rss)
- **Category RSS Feed URL:** [https://forum.get.it/c/hydrologist/32.rss](https://forum.get.it/c/hydrologist/32.rss)
- **Validation Report (Latest RSS):** [W3 Validator Report](https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=https%3A%2F%2Fforum.get.it%2Flatest.rss)
- **Validation Report (Category RSS):** [W3 Validator Report](https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=https%3A%2F%2Fforum.get.it%2Fc%2Fhydrologist%2F32.rss)
- **Error 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.”
- **WordPress Error:**"RSS Error: A feed could not be found at `https://forum.get.it/latest.rss` or `https://forum.get.it/c/hydrologist/32.rss` ; the status code is `403` and content-type is `text/html; charset=UTF-8` "
- **Observed Behavior:** When I open the RSS link in a browser, it does show RSS code, but it is still not recognized as a valid feed by the W3 Validator.

### **Troubleshooting Steps Taken:**

1. **Checked Other Feeds:**

- All RSS feeds from ThePros forum fail to load.
- Mamapedia RSS feeds work fine.

1. **Verified Permissions:**

- The forum and categories are publicly accessible without login.

1. **Checked Site Settings:**

- Ensured RSS feeds are not disabled.

1. **Tried Different Categories:**

- None of the categories in thePros forum have working RSS feeds.

Please let me if there any solution for this issue. Thanks in advance.
