RSS Error: WP HTTP Error: cURL error 28: Connection timed out after 10000 millis

Hi Sophie,

Is the RSS URL reachable ?
If yes, the issue could be with your hosting provider where the modules related to cURL might be restricted.

Could you please follow the steps in the below link and check if you are able to resolve the issue ?

Hi,

Can you please let me know the RSS Feed URL you are trying ?

Can you please use the same URL in WordPress’s default RSS widget ? Does it work there ?

Thanks,

Yes correct. Issue is in the server itself. That is the reason both default RSS widget and SRR is failing.

Anyways, what is the other RSS URl which is successful ?

Did you try the URL with http or https ?

Is any other part of WordPress affected with this same issue ? Example, wordpress updates page, plugins search page, theme search page etc.. ?
You might have to talk to the host and check if they did change any config.
This is because if Widget was working fine all this time and suddenly it breaks, then some problem with the host or the RSS URL.

Thanks,
