RSS error

I’m using Page Builder to display RSS widget on my Homepage. It works with external RSS feed like the New York Times and any other Media site. But I cannot let it work with internal RSS feed. I always get the following error:

RSS Error: A feed could not be found at http://www.mydomain.com/category/mycategory/. A feed with an invalid mime type may fall victim to this error, or SimplePie was unable to auto-discover it.. Use force_feed() if you are certain this URL is a real feed.

    Hi Frederic

    Could you perhaps give Jetpack’s module a try in Page Builder and see if it does any better?

    Jetpack’s module works in Page Builder, but this is not what I want. I want to display the articles of a particuler RSS feed, not only a feed URL.

    Thanks for the feedback. Do you get the same error if you embed the same widget with the same internal feed in a regular widget area? In my local setup I’m not getting the same error and can pull my own sites feed through the RSS widget in Page Builder.

    You could just add a Post Loop widget into Page Builder to pull a feed of sorts. The Additional field allows you to filter by category with an argument like:

    cat=x

    Where x is the category ID.
