  I’ve uncovered a couple of things regarding this.

  1. The rsscloud plugin doesn’t specify a scheme for the URLs so although it seems to work in some situations on wordpress.com on an up-to-date (6.1.1) self-hosted blog it always fails. “A valid URL was not provided”
  2. wp_http_validate_url seems to only allow URLs with ports 80, 443, or 8080 so aggregators running on other random ports fail.
