XF 2.3 Setting up RSS

[maritimesbob]

Hello,

I'm a new user to Xenforo, and I would use to use the RSS feed from the forum to create some content on my Wordpress based website.

I am using a Wordpress RSS aggregator which has been doing just what I wanted with my previous forum (myBB1.8), but I cannot get the RSS feed to work from my newly installed Xenforo board.

I see the RSS link at the bottom of the board, but when I run that link through an aggregator/reader it comes up an invalid rss feed or something.

Do I need to enable RSS in admin?

Is there a way to select what nodes can be in the RSS feed?

Thank you.

I am using a Wordpress RSS aggregator which

I am importing feeds into my Wordpress site using the default Wordpress RSS widget. Seems to work fine

Do I need to enable RSS in admin?

I don't think so

Is there a way to select what nodes can be in the RSS feed?

I just use the URL of the forum node. For the main feed that shows everything I initially set it up with https://example.com/forums/-/index.rss But it also works with just the forum URL, also works with search forums:

The forums RSS simply does not work. I have tried https://example.com/forums/-/index.rss (using my url) but no feed is being pulled through, and I try to validate the link and I get a "Server returned HTTP Error 503: Service Unavailable" error.

I don't know what to suggest then, as you can see it works on my WP site (touch wood).
