I have been using Jetpack to feed posts from here: https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org
specifically https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/category/news/

My sites feed page is: https://www.unifiedcaring.org/daily-news/

I have Jetpack on both sites logged into my WordPress.org account but I keep getting the error:

An error occurred while downloading blog information:
An error occurred fetching the remote data.

Detailed information:
Not Found

I’ve looked through other posts on here and found that you need to have JSON API enabled. It is on both sites. I’ve gone and disabled and re-enabled it on both sites. I also went and removed all transients. Is there any way to get this working again? I’m not sure when it started failing.

The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

I don’t see any specific blockers on either site, but https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/ is running an older version of Jetpack according to tests on our end.

If there any improvement after updating to Jetpack 7.0?

Unfortunately, no. I just updated it on both ends to no avail.

Would you please use https://snag.gy/ to share a screenshot of the widget’s configuration?

Oh, sorry! Thanks for that, it shook my brain loose. 🙂

The Display WordPress Posts widget cannot do specific categories, it’s either the whole blog or nothing.

So, for Blog URL, you can only enter https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org

A better option for you would be WordPress’s own RSS widget, where you’ll enter https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/category/news/feed/

If I use https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org it says forbidden. I need the feed to show the featured image.

Hm, I didn’t see that error when I tried it myself just now.

If you’re running any security plugins on https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org see what happens if you temporarily switch them off.

That was it. I believe Wordfence is blocking it.

Ok, I recommend checking with their support for the most efficient way to avoid that block: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordfence/

If it involves whitelisting Jetpack’s IPs, those are:

122.248.245.244
54.217.201.243
54.232.116.4

and this range: 192.0.64.0/18
