# Feed doesn't match URL

 * Hey – hopefully I can get some insight on this problem here. I’m attempting to
   pull a wordpress RSS feed by tags – but the content is differing from the actual
   feed being returned by, say, the browser.
 * Shortcode in use:
    [hungryfeed url=”[http://espnmediazone.com/us/feed/?tag=espn-audio,espn-radio&#8221](http://espnmediazone.com/us/feed/?tag=espn-audio,espn-radio&#8221);
   max_items=”5″]
 * The URL I’m attempting to hit:
    [http://espnmediazone.com/us/feed/?tag=espn-audio,espn-radio](http://espnmediazone.com/us/feed/?tag=espn-audio,espn-radio)
 * Everything looks great in the browser – but not on the site itself. After some
   digging we found it was defaulting to the main feed.
 * Main feed:
    [http://espnmediazone.com/us/feed/](http://espnmediazone.com/us/feed/)
 * Essentially, stripping off the tag query strings. I’ve eliminated plugin and 
   theme conflicts as a source already and unfortunately don’t have the time right
   now to dig deep into the plugin source code blindly (though it’d be fun!).
 * Any advice appreciated.

 * This is quite an odd error and it makes me thing that ESPN is doing something
   on the server to cause this. The reason I suspect it is because I created a feed-
   burner proxy to the feed at [http://feeds.feedburner.com/espnmediazone/Evlx](http://feeds.feedburner.com/espnmediazone/Evlx)–
   and if you notice, it also pulls the wrong content. So that kinda takes HungryFEED
   out of the equation.
 * Perhaps they are checking the referring agent or something similar and defaulting
   to the main feed instead of the tags?

 * Thanks for the quick feedback – some additional testing seems to reach the same
   conclusion. It’s somehow rejecting feed readers that are trying to hit it.
 * I’ll see if I can get in touch with someone who can get me some information regarding
   if these are secured somehow. If I gain anything from that I’ll post an update
   on the off chance someone else ends up on this road.
