 * Did anything changed with HF working with Google news? I have three sites that
   they all stopped pulling feeds from google news! They were working just fine 
   up to a day ago.
 * thanks

 * HungryFEED hasn’t had an update for a few months. You might have a look at the
   raw rss feed coming from google and see if it’s showing an error or something

 * The following works on a new domain but not the older ones:
    [hungryfeed url=”
   [http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&gl=us&q=gigi+chao&um=1&ie=UTF-8&output=rss&#8221](http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&gl=us&q=gigi+chao&um=1&ie=UTF-8&output=rss&#8221);
   template=”3″]
 * I even deactivated all other plugings from my test domain, and still no luck 
   with google news.
 * The differece is though the domain that the feed is working is not hosted on 
   HostGator!! If that has anything to do with it. But HF is getting all other feeds
   on the Hostgator host – it’s only the google news.
 * Here is the error
 * HungryFEED can’t get feed. Don’t be mad at HungryFEED. SimplePie reported: A 
   feed could not be found at [http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&gl=us&q=gigi+chao&um=1&ie=UTF-8&output=rss](http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&gl=us&q=gigi+chao&um=1&ie=UTF-8&output=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.
 * Thank you

 * you might try adding force_feed=”1″ to your shortcode parameters and see if that
   helps
