Title: RSS Widget Error 111? Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # RSS Widget Error 111? * [biv](https://wordpress.org/support/users/biv/) * (@biv) * [16 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-widget-error-111/) * I’m trying to display a RSS feed from another website. I’m using the RSS Widget that came with 2.8. But I keep getting this error: RSS Error: WP HTTP Error: 111: Connection refused * Can you guys point me in the wright direction? I tried Googling it and did a search here, but I can’t find anything that can help me.

Or this one: [http://www.forzanec.nl/rss/rss.asp](http://www.forzanec.nl/rss/rss.asp) * I’m not a programmer obviously. It looks pretty self-explanatory indeed, but since it doesn’t even wants to show it’s own feed I’m confused… * [whooami](https://wordpress.org/support/users/whooami/) * (@whooami) * [16 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-widget-error-111/#post-1121865) * im not following what you provided — im sorry. * what feed are you trying to grab? not examples unless it happens on EVERY feed. * [cdybenko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cdybenko/) * (@cdybenko) * [16 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-widget-error-111/#post-1121869) * biv, * Where are you seeing the error? Is it in the admin where you set up the feed or on the front end of your site? * Thread Starter [biv](https://wordpress.org/support/users/biv/) * (@biv) * [16 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-widget-error-111/#post-1121870) * Strange, it will display the feed from this thread. It shows the 111 error with the 2 feeds mentioned above ([http://www.veldwerkmedia.nl/svnec/?feed=rss2](http://www.veldwerkmedia.nl/svnec/?feed=rss2) and [http://www.forzanec.nl/rss/rss.asp](http://www.forzanec.nl/rss/rss.asp)). The last one I eventually want to show: [http://www.forzanec.nl/rss/rss.asp](http://www.forzanec.nl/rss/rss.asp) * This is the testadres: [http://www.veldwerkmedia.nl/svnec](http://www.veldwerkmedia.nl/svnec) * Error shows up in the RSS widget in the admin and on the front end of the site. Check the link above. * [cdybenko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cdybenko/) * (@cdybenko) * [16 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-widget-error-111/#post-1121871) * TestRSS2 is working because that feed has content in it. * The first two feeds you added are not displaying because they are pointing at your own blog installation which has no posts to show. * Thread Starter [biv](https://wordpress.org/support/users/biv/) * (@biv) * [16 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-widget-error-111/#post-1121875) * I don’t understand. Can you explain in more detail? * Both the feeds have content. The first one contains the ‘Hello world!’ post and the second one, the one I want to display, shows 25 titles and sentences. I use IE7 to look at the feeds directly, that’s where I see the 25 titles and stuff. * [cdybenko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cdybenko/) * (@cdybenko) * [16 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-widget-error-111/#post-1121877) * You have the same feed twice and it’s pointing at your own blog instead of an outside source. * Maybe I could help if I understood exactly are you trying to accomplish here? Are you trying to bring in outside feeds to display on your site? * Thread Starter [biv](https://wordpress.org/support/users/biv/) * (@biv) * [16 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-widget-error-111/#post-1121878) * Yes, that’s correct. I want to display the forzanec.nl feed on my test-adress. * Now I see what you mean. Somehow the textlink points to the test-adress, but the RSS icons in front of the RSS title contains the correct links! * Strange, I can’t change that in the widget, can I? * [cdybenko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cdybenko/) * (@cdybenko) * [16 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-widget-error-111/#post-1121879) * Not sure why that is happening. * Thread Starter [biv](https://wordpress.org/support/users/biv/) * (@biv) * [16 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-widget-error-111/#post-1121887) * Ok, I fixed the link by modifying the $title link /wp-includes/default-widgets. php. Now it shows the correct links on both the RSS icons as on the titles. * Problem of not showing the feeds still excists. Anyone?
