403 Forbidden error when validating feed - please help!
« on: July 09, 2011, 12:53:44 pm »
I've had PowerPress installed for months with no problems.  All of a sudden, I received several emails from users saying they're getting the following error message when attempting to access my feed:
Quote
"There was a problem downloading "The Healthy Skeptic".

Authorization is needed to access "http://thehealthyseptic.org/feed/podcast".

I tried validating my feed and it returns a 403 forbidden error.  I have made no changes to my blog and haven't added any plugins, so I'm not sure why this would start happening all of a sudden.

Here's a screenshot of my plugins:

I appreciate your help!

UPDATE: I disabled all plugins, and then tried to validate again.

This time I get the following error message:
Quote
Server returned (-2, 'Name or service not known')

What's happening?

Go to another computer or device on another network and try your URL (http://thehealthyseptic.org), it is not resolving. You need to contact your web hosting/DNS service to fix this, way beyond our control.
