RSS Widget Not Working

    Been pulling my hair out over this. Can’t make the bundled WP RSS Widget display any RSS feed in the sidebar. Using the default template that is bundled with WP installation, put it in the sidebar and configure. The URL to the feed is correct. Tried several, including Apple:

    feed://www.apple.com/main/rss/hotnews/hotnews.rss

    Can go there all day long and read using my browser.

    No luck. So anybody help me with this?

    “This solved the problem – adding this line to .htaccess:”

    Does me no good. I got around the problem by using the Twitter widget. So my RSS feed goes to Twitter through Twitterfeed, and therefore my Tweets come back to WordPress.

    They really need to solve this problem and stop denying that it exists.

    And interestingly, I just noticed that the WordPress blog feed doesn’t appear in the dashboard.

    So my installation of WordPress can fetch Twitter feeds — it just cannot fetch RSS feeds.

    This will be my last comment in this thread since someone has filed a bug report.
