 * Hello,
 * I come across strange problem, whenever I use wordfance i can’t pull data from
   site RSS.
 * Here is what I’ve come so far:
 * 1. I set website that pull RSS from 2 other sites that have RSS feed and have
   wordfence installed and I can’t get it to work to pull the data.
    2. Then i white
   listed my site IP into wordfence settings on those both sites and suddenly it
   started working. 3. After a while it stopped working again, then i decided to
   try and disable wordfence on the main site where I’m displaying the RSS of those
   two website, and boom, it works. 4. I tested default theme, no plugins so that’s
   not the case.
 * Somehow wordfence is blocking pulling and displaying RSS feeds.
 * Can u help?

 * Hi [@tomasbal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tomasbal/),
 * Can you go into Wordfence -> Tools -> Live Traffic, and see why connections to
   your RSS feed are being blocked?
 * Whitelisting the IP does work, so can you also check if the rules are still there,
   and that the other site’s IP did not change?

 * Hi, I checked and the white-listed IP is there, but still it doesn’t work.
    Btw,
   the live traffic doesn’t show the rss feed block, so I don’t know why it blocks
   it
