PressForward does not load Project MUSE RSS feeds
-
Our Press Forward (4.0.2) on 18th-Century Common is not loading any RSS feed provided by Johns Hopkins’ Project MUSE, but it’s not throwing errors, either. Specifically, the 5 feeds we would like to add are below:
- http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/eighteenth_century_fiction/latest_articles.xml
- http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/eighteenth-century_studies/latest_articles.xml
- http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/restoration/latest_articles.xml
- http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/studies_in_eighteenth_century_culture/latest_articles.xml
- http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/the_eighteenth_century/latest_articles.xml
It does seem that Project MUSE RSS feeds don’t strictly adhere to RSS but use a customized variant that also makes use of RDF. However, these feeds are successfully fetched by other feed readers.
For example, we noted that PressForward uses WordPress’s built-in feed functionality — which itself uses SimplePie. When we tested one of the Project Muse feeds in SimplePie, the feeds worked fine.
Additionally, another RSS reader, FeedBin, also fetches these feeds successfully.
How can we fetch these feeds within our installation of PressForward? Many thanks!
