Continuing the discussion from Configure the Discourse RSS Polling Plugin:
Hi - I’m struggling to get the RSS Polling Plugin to work for my RSS feed: https://www.hinz.org.nz/resource/rss/news.rss
My browser (Chrome) doesn’t want to open it. But when I run it through a validator it seems to be okay:
Is there something I’m missing in the config?
Curiously, I get a 403 if I try curl …

Maybe that server is picky about user-agents? …if the RSS validator can fetch it, but my curl, and the plugin cannot . . .
Looks like https://www.hinz.org.nz/resource/rss/news.rss replies to GET requests with a 301 to https://cdn.ymaws.com/www.hinz.org.nz/resource/rss/news.rss but to HEAD requests with a 403.
You can configure the plugin to download the feed from https://cdn.ymaws.com/www.hinz.org.nz/resource/rss/news.rss directly to avoid their mess.
It works perfectly!
Thank you.
I’ve got a couple of ongoing problems with this, and would love a bit more help.
I get this in the console:
The truncated post brings in just the first <p>. Unfortunately I need the second one (the first is junk).
While I can target some ugly HTML passed through from the feed and suppress it with CSS, as well as customise the “This is a companion discussion topic…” text, I’m stuck with the unfortunate inline styling that is passed through. And I miss the highly valuable 2nd paragraph.
Is there a way to get rid of all the HTML elements / styles in there and just bring in the raw text? Or better yet, a selection of the raw text (in my case the 2nd <p> only)?
The second <p> element of each, including
Is this achievable / configurable? I couldn’t work out how to use CSS selectors to achieve this with my feed.
