New Posts Delay Hitting WP Reader

  • Hello,

    I hope you’re well. I recently moved to a new host and got a new theme for my blog, Invisibly Me – https://invisiblyme.com/

    When publishing posts, they always used to appear immediately on the WP Reader. Since the migration to a new host (who also changed settings, deleted various plugins etc), the post doesn’t appear on the Reader for ages. I then get barely any views and it badly impacts the site.

    The first time it took nearly 24hrs. I’ve posted the second post since migration today and it’s not showing an hour later on the main WP Reader, or under InvisiblyMe (https://wordpress.com/read/feeds/53003633) on the reader.

    I went back to my host provider about this. They just said that it’s done via Jetpack and on the Jetpack website, it says it can take up to 24hrs to show. I know this is nonsense when I’ve published hundreds of posts previously that have always appeared straight afterwards.

    I’ve looked online and on similar queries on the WP forum but I can’t seem to find any relevant solutions. I don’t know what the problem is, whether it’s an RSS feed issue or something else entirely. The whole migration has been a bit of a nightmare and this issue with the Reader is seeming to be a big problem.

    I don’t suppose anyone has any ideas?

    Many thanks in advance if anyone can help :)

  • PS. Newly published post also doesn’t show on the homepage. It’s now over 2hrs later and still not on the WP Reader or InvisiblyMe homepage.

  • Hi there!

    Yikes, that sounds frustrating. In general, up to 24h it’s not considered an issue but, since you mentioned your posts don’t appear on your homepage either, it sounds like there might be something going on with your site and your feed.

    The reader relies on your site’s feed to fetch your posts. You can check if your site has a valid feed using the W3C feed validator:

    https://validator.w3.org/feed/.

    If you still need help, it’s best to reach out to https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/jetpack/.
