 * It seems that Feedwordpress doesn’t read an url of the RSS with https
    How to
   solve this ? I found similar problem at [https://www.sitepoint.com/community/t/feedwordpress-error-with-ssl/193509](https://www.sitepoint.com/community/t/feedwordpress-error-with-ssl/193509)
   and [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-feedwordpress-support-https/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-feedwordpress-support-https/)
   How to resolve this ?

 * Oh, this could be the reason for my problem. I try this feed
    [https://medienportal-grimma.de/nachrichten/landkreis?format=feed](https://medienportal-grimma.de/nachrichten/landkreis?format=feed)
   in feedwordpress and get the following error: This XML document is invalid, likely
   due to invalid characters. XML error: Not well-formed (invalid token) at line
   1, column 1 But it is a valid feed. It works in feedly or firefox

 * Hello Langhof, the feed works in feeddemon ([http://www.feeddemon.com](http://www.feeddemon.com))
   too in which I always check the feeds.
    For me it’s certainly the https which
   is causing this. I searched in the source of feeddemon to block/remark the condition,
   but I couldn’t find it. Thanks to hackers more and more websites have a SSL for
   security. Feedwordpress needs an adaptation for this new https policy of websites,
   providers, servers and browsers.
