In the last week and half a lot of readers have reached out letting us know that our rss feed/feedly is not updating properly. We are aware of this issue but unfortunately the issue can’t be fixed by us. I think the issue has been caused as feedburner has depreciated some features and that’s causing an issue with feedly (other rss readers work fine).
In the meantime you should be able to add http://feeds.feedburner.com/DoctorOfCredit to feedly and it should work. If anybody knows of any solutions, feel free to let us know in the comments below.
I forgot to check for new articles from DoC for the past 2 or 3 days. It’s really lousy when the RSS Feed is not working.
Looks like the feed is getting blocked again.
Yes, site is under DDoS attack so feed won’t work until it’s resolved.
It appears that https://www.doctorofcredit.com/feed/ is up to date, but the problem is that the Cloudflare “verification” interstitial confuses any RSS reader that only expects a simple RSS page. I don’t know if there’s a way to turn off Cloudflare for that URL.
And http://feeds.feedburner.com/DoctorOfCredit is still out of date, perhaps due to the same issue because Feedburner can’t get past the Cloudflare interstitial either?
Yeah pretty much
Are they trying to get money or why is the site being targeted?
Can’t go into specifics but don’t want money.
Jack,
I looked into the 2 websites that Will told me about the other day. I decided against trying Zapier. It requires First Name, Last Name and Work Email to sign up.
I signed up for Blogtrottr this morning. It’s worked well so far.
It checks the RSS Feed every hour and sends me an email if any articles have been posted in the past hour. There was an instant email option but they charge for that.
Are you now going to let me know which app that you currently use to view the RSS Feed? I asked you that the other day.
Eric 🔗 I use feeder on android. as of now, rss isn’t currently working, but I suspect that has to do with the recent cloudflare issues.
What’s the advantage to using that instead of just checking DoC’s site? Is it that the feeder shows updates for many sites at once and not just DoC so it saves time in that way?
It seems like Blogtrottr isn’t working either as I haven’t received any emails for new posts in a while.
Yes, you can add several rss feeds and get notified when a site/page is updated.
I mostly just use it for this site though. I get push notifications when anything new is posted to the main page, it just saves me from checking the site multiple times a day.
I seem to remember missing a couple of the bank bonuses that got pulled early when I first started doing them and that’s why I switched to rss vs daily emails.
I’m not familiar w blogtrottr so that may do something similar to rss.
When it’s working properly (it’s not now), I receive an email each time a new post comes out. It’s delayed by about an hour though. How much is the delay for the push notification?
I have mine to check the feed every 15 mins.
RSS feed is not working for me when I use feedly.com service. The latest item that appears there is from 1/24: https://www.doctorofcredit.com/ends-soon-topcashback-120-back-on-purevpn-11-moneymaker/
Fixed
Sorry, I see no change, still not working. Is there a trick to fix from my side?
My old rss link was: http://feeds.feedburner.com/DoctorOfCredit. I removed it and found the new rss link is: https://www.doctorofcredit.com/feed/
I’ll let you know if get issues again. Thanks.
The feed has updated, but there’s no way to access the feed due to external readers getting blocked by cloudflare. Not sure how other blogs are making it work.
Eric 🔗
Mike, do you use Zapier? Will suggested using Zapier but it’s unclear if it works with accessing the feed like you said. What app do you use? Mike William Charles
Jack,
I appreciate you trying to get an answer for me on this issue but Mike is the wrong person to ask. I asked him a similar question 2 months ago and never got a response.
Here is the comment: https://www.doctorofcredit.com/issue-with-feedly-rss-feed-feedburner/#comment-1740288
Eric, I actually was asking Mike for myself because the app I use doesn’t work. I wonder if Zaiper works for Mike Eric 🔗
I don’t use Zapier. I think Will’s suggestion was regarding a solution that provides email notification which I don’t need.
Hi Jason, Kent and BigSexy, is the RSS working for you right now? Reader Eric said that it’s working but apparently now Jason Kent BigSexy
cc Eric 🔗
No.
Eric 🔗
Eric, look, reader Big said that it’s NOT working. So whatever you’re doing is not going to work for you. Let’s get down to the bottom and get Will and Chuck on this Chuck William Charles
See my comment here: https://www.doctorofcredit.com/issue-with-feedly-rss-feed-feedburner/#comment-1786853
Chuck & Will, RSS Feed is down again. Do you think it’s because of the recent DDoS attack to DoC? William Charles Chuck William Charles
Is newly added Cloudflare blocking it?
Probably
Is RSS broken again?
Jason,
Mike never answered my questions from November. Can you answer them (pasted below)?
Are you receiving new DoC article notifications right away (or close to it) by using the RSS feed? If so, please let me know how to sign up for it.
I was using this before and it was pretty up to date. In the last few days it has stopped updating:
https://www.doctorofcredit.com/feed/
The feed linked in the post on this page also looks to have stopped updating.
http://feeds.feedburner.com/DoctorOfCredit
By signing up for the feed, does it send you an email as soon as a new post comes out (when it actually works)? If so, how do I actually sign up? All I see is a bunch of code when I click on those links.
You don’t sign up, you use an rss site or addon for your browser.
Jason,
I found this very old article with instructions: https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-use-gmail-as-an-rss-reader/.
However, this mentions using IFTTT. I know that IFTTT charges now so I doubt that you and others do it this way.
I then found this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvO5ydPeu1c
However, in the video the man shows (and says) that “Web Clips” is no longer a feature of Gmail so it’s a complete waste of a video.
I also found a bunch of instances where people asked Google how to do add it to Gmail. No responses or solutions were provided.
Can you please provide instructions of how to add it so I can receive an email in Gmail when a new DoC post is made?
I don’t have anything for email alerts, my browser just can subscribe to rss feeds and i review them occasionally
Thank you for finally answering my question as I figured that there was no email option available. So what is the benefit of looking at the RSS Feed occasionally rather than just checking the DoC site for updates?
Just look up rss to e-mail there are lots of solutions
I did a search and found this article: https://rssby.email/. However, I’m not interested in that as it only sends out an email once a day.
I am interested in a free way to receive an instant email as soon as a new DoC post comes out. Is that currently possible?
If not, it’s no big deal. If so, please provide a link with instructions since you wrote that there are “lots of solutions“?
Eric, unfortunately the RSS is not working right now. The priority is to get Will and Chuck to help fix this first Eric 🔗
The RSS feed currently working or not has nothing to do with the questions that I asked Will (and others). Do you have the answers to my questions?
NO. The RSS Feed is not working currently. Jason, Kent and BigSexy, is the RSS working for you right now? @ Jason Kent BigSexy
Jack,
This is the 2nd time today that you didn’t read a comment closely.
I DID NOT write “The RSS feed IS currently working”. I wrote “The RSS feed currently working or not has nothing to do with the questions.”
I appreciate you ignoring my questions though even though I’ve always made the effort to answer your questions directed at me.
I’d use zapier, similar to IFTTT but free. But searching rss feed to email brings up other results such as https://blogtrottr.com/
I will look into those options once someone confirms that the RSS feed is working again. Thank you.
Should be working now
Thank you so much Will. It really is working now. What did you do? William Charles William Charles If you have a tip jar I’ll def tip you.
Eric, do you use iPhones or Android? Eric 🔗
Jack,
I use Android but I only read DoC on my computer. I will let you know if either of the 2 programs that William Charles told me about work well for me.
What do you use to view the RSS Feed now?
Eric 🔗 ,
Actually Will also remind you to google to find more lots of solutions. Then the phone app may not fit you
That’s right that I’m not interested in using a phone app. However, I was curious what app that you use.
Thank you for letting me know. I will check out the ideas you gave me later in the week as I’m focused on watching the NFL games today.
Eric 🔗 ,
Eric, which team are you on? Are you ready for the SuperBowl?
If I was on 1 of the 4 teams playing today, I would be making millions of dollars. Do you really think that I would be viewing DoC several times a day if that was the case?
🤣 🤣 Seeing your answer, then seeing the q made me LOL…But, just think about how many referrals you could make as a football player. That money adds up.
Are you implying that Brock Purdy and Jared Goff would be more popular on DoC than I am? I take GREAT offense to that.
Well, I’ve never heard of either of them. So, at least in this case, you’re more popular than them. LOL.
I purposely didn’t include Mahomes as I figured that even non-NFL fans would have heard of him. He’s in SO many commercials. Am I right that you’ve heard of him?
Nope. Never heard of him.
You must not watch much TV if you’ve never seen this man on your TV screen.

Eric, I was just asking what you teams you like….. Eric 🔗
I am not necessarily a big fan of any of the teams left but I am a fan of the NFL.
Also seeing a stalled feed. Latest post in my news aggregator shows the Topcashback 130% back on PureVPN deal.
Same here.
Might because of blocked by Cloudflare?
Probably
RSS feed issues again. Not sure if it is helpful to report Chuck William Charles
Mike,
Are you receiving new DoC article notifications right away (or close to it) by using the RSS feed? If so, please let me know how to sign up for it.
FYI: RSS feed hasn’t updated in a day Chuck William Charles
I’m seeing that too. Hmm
