Kiwix blog atom/rss feed #118

Closed kelson42 closed 1 year ago

kelson42 commented 4 years ago

There is no feed for the moment at https://www.kiwix.org/blog/. I have no way to be informed that something new has been posted there for the moment. An atom or rss feed would solve the problem. This should be doable really easily I guess via a Wordpress option/plugin.

BTW, I thought we had one! Maybe it has disappeared?

martin8032 commented 4 years ago

As far as I know you simply add /feed/ to a WordPress URL to get the feed.

Is https://www.kiwix.org/feed/ what you are looking for?

kelson42 commented 4 years ago

@martin8032 None of what I have tried has worked. The response to the URL you have given to me has an empty body and is not a news feed.

martin8032 commented 4 years ago

You are right, but that's weird. This is the way to access the RSS feed on any WordPress website (try https://www.metoki.ch/feed/ for example). But you should not get a body tag at all, since this should be XML, not HTML. I don't have an explanation/solution at the moment.

Hi, i am maintaining the Wikimedia Planet RSS Feed aggregator (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Planet_Wikimedia , https://en.planet.wikimedia.org/).

I had to remove the Kiwix blog from it because at some point there was no more working RSS or Atom feed (it was in our configs so it must have existed in the past).

I can also confirm there are many other Wordpress-based sites that do provide a feed.

Would be more than happy to be able to re-add Kiwix blog if this was fixed.

Maybe somebody would want to contact Metoko, because apparently they are making the site https://www.metoki.ch/kontakt/

Hi @mutante, thank you for contacting us. I am the owner of Metoki, and as you can read above we are already aware of this problem. We have just made some changes to the site, so maybe you could test again and check if our feed is available again? Thank you.

@martin8032 There is still no feed. What is needed here is:
