 * OK, I have changed from https to http. Now I receive this error:
 * [12-10-2017 04:05:28] [Error] WPRSS > wprss_get_feed_items:
    Failed to fetch 
   feed “[http://news.kitco.com/rss/&#8221](http://news.kitco.com/rss/&#8221);. 
   A feed could not be found at [http://news.kitco.com/rss/](http://news.kitco.com/rss/).
   A feed with an invalid mime type may fall victim to this error, or SimplePie 
   was unable to auto-discover it.. Use force_feed() if you are certain this URL
   is a real feed.

    Sorted:
 * When I validate the feed, it says
 * Congratulations!
 * [Valid RSS] This is a valid RSS feed.
    Recommendations
 * This feed is valid, but interoperability with the widest range of feed readers
   could be improved by implementing the following recommendations.
    Feeds should
   not be served with the “text/xml,text/xml” media type [help]

 * Hi [@armanrahman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/armanrahman/),
 * We have tried your Feed URL [http://news.kitco.com/rss/](http://news.kitco.com/rss/)
   and we are experiencing the same issue as yours.
 * It seems the problem is with the RSS feed itself. Please try to contact the RSS
   Feed Provider and ask them if they have a valid feed you can use and if it’s 
   allowed for others to import it.
