# Meta Feed Unauthorized

 * I plugged the feed link into Meta and triggered the fetch, but it took a while
   to load. When I logged back on today, I noticed an ‘unauthorized error’ message.
   The exact error says: _‘Fetching the feed from the HTTP server resulted in an
   unauthorized error. Make sure Meta can access this feed…’_

 * Dear [@bsmalldesign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bsmalldesign/)
 * Thanks for reaching out.
 * Could you please share the feed URL with us so we can check whether the feed 
   URL and its structure are correct? Also, kindly share a screenshot of the error
   message you are seeing on Facebook while uploading the feed.
 * This will help us identify the exact issue you are encountering and provide the
   appropriate solution.
 * Looking forward to your response.

 * Hi [@bsmalldesign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bsmalldesign/)
 * Thank you for sharing the feed URL.
 * We checked the URL from our end, and it is currently returning a **403 Forbidden**
   response. This means the server is blocking external access to the feed, which
   is why Meta is unable to fetch it.
 * Please check your Cloudflare/WAF, security plugins, server firewall, and any `.
   htaccess` or server rules that may be restricting access to the feed URL.
 * Once the feed URL can be accessed publicly without restriction, Meta should be
   able to fetch it successfully.
 * Please let us know once the access restriction has been removed, and we can check
   the feed again from our end.
 * Best regards,
