Can I unprotect a feed of protected content?

[renata]

First, I’m a real fan of eMember and eStore. Thank you for these plugins.

I know this sounds a little backwards, but I have a membership site and my members like to receive a blog broadcast (offered by Aweber: takes a post and turns it into an email). Um, I guess because setting up an RSS feed is too complicated.

But when I protect content with categories, the feed just reads the “Please Login to view this Content.(Not a member? Join Today!)” message.

And when I protect the content by Page alone, the posts are not protected.

So is there a way to unprotect the RSS Feed while successfully protecting the posts? Or do I just use a random (not specific member’s) Secure RSS feed url?

Thanks for your help.

One more thing: I’d also like to unprotect the comments feed. Thought I’d mention that in case it required different steps.

Thanks again.

There is no option to unprotect the feed. The feed of any protected content is also protected. Just create a membership account of your own and use the feed of that member.

Thank you.

And what would I have to do for a comments feed (since that secure URL is not available)?

Also, how can I make sure the entire post is in the feed, and not just an excerpt?

“Also, how can I make sure the entire post is in the feed, and not just an excerpt?” – You will need to set this in your WordPress feed settings (eMember has nothing to do with this).

Comments don’t go to the normal feed by default so not sure what the behavior is. I am pretty sure there is a separate feed for comments. Doesn’t that secure key work on that comments feed?

I tried passing the key by setting up the feed as http://domain.com/comments/?feed=ememberfeed&key=transplantedkeyfromsecureRSSfeed where transplantedkeyfromsecurity feed is the numerical key. Basically mimicking the structure of the secure RSS URL, but no luck.

Also tried with …comments/feed/?feed=emember…

I’m not sure what my best next step should be.

“Also, how can I make sure the entire post is in the feed, and not just an excerpt?” – You will need to set this in your WordPress feed settings (eMember has nothing to do with this).

Actually, I had to edit .emember_rss_text_limit($post->post_content, 100) in wp-eMember/emember_feed_template from “100” so that more of my articles would show. My WordPress settings hadn’t changed.

Thank you for your help.

For my protected posts my rss [www.domaine.com/feed]

is not working on “rss readers” or with “tweeter feed app” or with “feedburner” …etc.

it is important for me that the rss title and extract of post can be used by those applications in order to tweet automatically for example.

I have created my own emember account, the rss look like that [http://www.domain.com/feed?emember_feed_key=a87yy679a2f3e71d9181a67b7545522c] but this one is also not working…

What is the issue ?

Thanks

The first thing we need to make sure is that RSS feed is working on your site. If this is not working then you need to get that fixed first before you can use eMember’s secure feed feature. Does your RSS feed work without eMember plugin?

Please deactivate the eMember plugin temporarily and share the URL of your site’s RSS feed so we can check that.

The feed worked just before the installation of emember, just after it is still possible to see the feed with this address [www.domaine.com/feed], it is also possible to use the feed through a rss reader widget in a blog

But the feed is now not recognize by application like :

– twitter feed (message : Your feed might be empty or missing publish dates or GUIDs. A feed needs to contain publish dates or GUIDs in order to work with twitterfeed)

– FeedBurner (message : The URL does not appear to reference a valid XML file. We encountered the following problem: Your server is sending us some non-XML data. This is usually caused by your blogging platform or server generating an error page that is not in a valid feed format (usually it is plain-text, or HTML). Please confirm that your source feed is working properly.)

– And Google reader block the feed at the day of the installation of emember.

How I can share the URL with you (not through the forum) ?

[admin]

I sent you an email so you can reply to it and send the URL.
