How to use the RSS feed if the wordpress install is secure?

[Rem]

Hi team,

We use our WordPress for our company intranet.

The Events Calendar Pro RSS feed is not being picked up by our RSS Software.

We use wall mounted LCD displays which scroll through information pulled from our WordPress install.

The feeds from our site that do work use an encrypted key as part of their feed url – These are generated by the SP Forums plugin. They display like:
http://websitedomain.co.uk/forum/payroll-results/rss/7a861f43-328b-465f-b584-96ac02886303/

I’m thinking that because those feeds are unique that our intranet plugin (All-in-One Intranet) which prevents any access except for logged in users would not have any provision for blocking those unique feeds.

Is there a way of enabling access to http://whiteboard.dcer.co.uk/office-diary/feed/ or is there a unique secure method of pulling your RSS feed?

Would it be a bit of code dumped into our .htaccess or in our themes functions.php ?

Thanks in advance!

Howdy Rem,

Welcome to our support forums and thanks for reaching out to us.

Let me check if I correctly understand the issue here. You are using a plugin to prevent non-logged in users from viewing the site, but you want to bypass the calendar feed so it can be consumed without being logged?

If this is the case, you might want to search if there’s a way of adding an exception in the plugin that forces the user to be logged in. In the same way you might find this plugins useful: https://wordpress.org/plugins/plugin-logic/ it let’s you de-active plugins for certain URLs.

Please let me know if any of those tips helps you out,
Best,
Nico
