rssCloud testing – Day 1

I created a test WordPress site and added the rssCloud WordPress plugin. I then added a ping to Andrew Shell’s rssCloud server (http://rpc.rsscloud.io:5337/ping/) to the Update Services text field in the Writing subsection of the Settings section of the Dashboard. I created a test post, did not see any ping evidence in the rssCloud server log. I then updated the ping URL to remove the trailing slash and created another test post, but again did not see anything in the log.

I also looked at the RSS feeds being properly notified on the rssCloud server (HN News and Dave Winer linkblog) and their <cloud> element is pointing to Andrew Shell’s server. Perhaps my next step will be to modify the WordPress plugin to use that server…we shall see…

  • Based on the day 1 test results, I decided to update my test app to check for my rssCloud website feed and start running it again. Next, I made two new posts and used the ping form at Andrew Shell’s rssCloud server site to inform that server of updates. I was able to see that the server acknowledged the pings, and my test app was notified. For the second test post, I removed the port number from Andrew Shell’s rssCloud server ping URL in the Settings/Writing menu. However, I did not see any evidence that the rssCloud server received a ping from my WordPress site.
    Based on the current results, it seems that my setting of the WordPress Update Settings area in the Settings/Writing is not resulting in pinging the rssCloud server site. If anyone out there has some ideas on how to check this, I would appreciate it (my initial Google searches did not turn up anything helpful).
