      • Hi Mick,
        This message tells you that you do not have the necessary rights to view the page.
        Can you send me back the URL of the feed you are trying to open.

      • Hi Michelq,
        I don’t know why right now, but can you send me back a url for me to check.
        Usually this error is returned by the remote server which refuses the connection.
        You ou can use the ‘Contact us’ button in the footer to discreetly send me one or more URLs.

        Sorry but this is currently not possible.

      • Hi Rubiel,
        En Elementor no hay opciones pero solo en nuestro plugin. Para esta página de componentes de panel/EAC, pestaña advanced y active la opción ‘RSS reader’

    2. Very happy with the plugin but have two questions.
      1 Is it possible to use the plugin without the two buttons (choise and view button) and show the result at once for one RSS feed.
      2 Is it possible to open the link in a lightbox or show full content.

      • Hello Luc,
        1) No, at the moment you can’t delete the list and the ‘Read the feed’ button. You can have a single entry in the list, but you’ll still have to press the RTF button.
        2) no, the content can’t be opened in a lightbox, but I’ll evaluate the cost (time, testing, etc.) of the modification.
