Testing RSS Feed from this forum

#1 · 2026-09-04, 11:08 am

The RSS Feed Reader extension for Chrome browser works well in getting updates from the Meta > Entries and Comments feeds for blog posts and from this forum, I've yet to succeed in getting results with the groups.io Integration which could provide email notifications. This WordPress site has never supported email notifications for new blog posts and comments thereon and while it does for forum subscribers, we have not promoted it because the daily limit is only 100 emails. that's one notification to 100 subscribers and then it's blocked for 24 hours. Forgive me for making some noise in this channel while testing.

Groups.io did not retrieve that post within the 30 minute or 1-hour period between its checks. So trying this link generated by FeedBurner.

That did not work either. In WP-Optimize, I've now added to caching exclusions the following paths:
/feed/
/forum/*
/feeds.feedburner.com/*

This message is another test.

Still did not work. Now changed the WP-Optimize exclusions to:

/feed/ -- should cover Entries and Comments feeds
/forum/forum/* -- should cover all publicly accessible forum feeds

AND

set Hostinger CDN cache to bypass the entire site.

This forum being retrieved through a Feedburner proxy.
