# https feeds will no longer fetch

 * I submitted a ticket before, but I’ve not seen a response — so we’ll try the 
   forums as this issue has made our site less usable. It appears that there’s a
   problem with any feed that is https vs. http — and ALL of the https have stopped
   working — they were all working before. I believe the issue was around the time
   we installed a renewed cert.
 * The WPRSS error log has entries like:
 * [14-06-2018 15:29:27] [Error] WPRSS > wprss_get_feed_items:
    Failed to fetch 
   feed “[https://rss.support.apple.com/appleremotedesktop&#8221](https://rss.support.apple.com/appleremotedesktop&#8221);.
   cURL error 77: error setting certificate verify locations: CAfile: /wp-includes/
   certificates/ca-bundle.crt CApath: /etc/ssl/certs
 * [14-06-2018 15:29:27] [Error] WPRSS > 2:
    Sorted:
 * So, to test when I first saw this, I did a manual curl at the command line — 
   saw the missing bundle certs, added them at the path that curl wanted, rebooted
   the machine (just to make sure that any necessary service restarted) … and while
   a curl test at the command line works just fine for rss feeds with both http 
   and https … the error is still showing, and feeds are not fetching. The error
   log continues to show entries like the above. (See above)
 * I’ve already tried checking the “Force the feed” check box … no difference.
 * Again, the cert on the site is fine. Curl at the command line works just fine.
 * It’s just WPRSS can’t fetch https feeds

 * Hi [@neilticktin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/neilticktin/)!
 * Are you using only the core WP RSS Aggregator plugin?
 * Please re-installing the plugin and make sure you have the latest version.
 * Please also make sure your PHP version is at least 5.3.9 (the minimum for WP 
   RSS Aggregator).

 * [sigh]
    Yes — already did that.

 * HI [@neilticktin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/neilticktin/), there should
   be no reason for specifically https sources to stop working suddenly.
 * You mentioned opening a ticket, do you own a premium add-on? If so, and we have
   not replied to your request, please contact us directly at [support@wprssaggregator.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/https-feeds-will-no-longer-fetch/support@wprssaggregator.com?output_format=md).
 * From there you can send us your system info (found in the Debugging section of
   the plugin) as well as the full error log, and we can start to investigate further.
 * We also recommend looking at the other possible solutions here – [https://docs.wprssaggregator.com/feed-items-not-importing/](https://docs.wprssaggregator.com/feed-items-not-importing/)–
   and speaking with your hosting provider about the cURL error.
 * We apologise for keeping you waiting so long for a reply.

 * I had a problem with this, too, using a valid feed from another WP site.
 * My solution was to combine:
 * [https://thewebsite.com/feed](https://thewebsite.com/feed)
 * and
 * [https://thewebsite.com/?feed=atom](https://thewebsite.com/?feed=atom)
 * into one feed via [http://www.rssmix.com/](http://www.rssmix.com/)
 * And then using that, I was able to import. Make sure to set it up to skip duplicates.
