RapidBlog stopped showing (or doesn't show) my posts

If RapidBlog doesn't show your posts there are a few possibilities.

  1. It's possible that RapidBlog has a problem -- This is somewhat rare and I in the event of a problem like this I usually push out a patch within a day or so -- Let's assume for a moment it's not this (which is usually a good assumption)

  2. Your rss feed may not be set to public -- you need to enable a 'full' rss feed from within blogspot (at blogspot.com go to settings for the blog and then 'site feed' and set allow blog feeds to 'full'

  3. It's possible that your blogger settings are broken or blogger has a problem -- Make sure you have enabled the public feed on the blog. A quick test of this is to create a 'throw away' blog -- something you never intend to use except for testing. Create it on blogger, add a single post and then configure it in RapidBlog -- if it works but your main blog doesn't you have mis configured blogger to now make the rss feed public.

  4. Your web host may be mis configured -- Especially in the case of it was working and then stopped this is usually the case. (see the note at the end of this page for more details)

A note on web host configurations:

For RapidBlog to work it needs to 'grab' the blog information from blogger -- Sometimes a web host configures their servers in a way that doesn't allow the rapidblog scripts to access blogger (sometimes it's by accident and sometimes they do it on purpose). For a quick test Try this http://loghound.com/rapidblog/faq/index.html#I_Cant_see_my_posts_V2 The results should look like this http://loghound.com/rapidblog/faq/phptest/index.php

My guess is that that test will fail --- Once it's failing you should be able to send your web host the little PHP snippit and say "Hey -- Why doesn't this work?"
