I have tried to use the RSS widget on the main page and it will initially display the information from the RSS feed but then does not update. I guess the downloaded information is cached somewhere but (despite searching the forum for a similar topic) I cannot for the life of me sort it out. Version 1.8.4 is running well except for this.
Any advice please

Hi Barry, sorry your having issues with the RSS. I myself dont use the RSS but Ross will be in the office in about 8 hours or so and he should be able to shed some light on this for you.
Barry is this from a wordpress RSS feed?
I did find this Barry i hope it helps...

I have tried several but these are the two main ones:
http://www.southgatearc.org/sarc.rss
http://old.sota.org.uk/RssFeed
Both intially feed the information but neither updates once the initial information downloads. Neither have ever given a problem when used with other readers

Hi Ross,
URL of site is grampianhilltoppers.co.uk, it is a membership only site so will send you access details with full admin rights by PEM.
Could it be the theme that is stopping it updating?

Barry your cron is not properly configured.
I ran it manually and your rss has updated.
Please configure your cron properly according to the manual: https://wiki.oxwall.com/install:cron

Hi Ross,
Cron is set to 1 minute update (wget -q -O /dev/null http://grampianhilltoppers.co.uk/ow_cron/run.php) but the widget you placed on the page is still showing feeds from over 5 hours ago. I have moved the feed off the page again until I can see what is happening
Regards
Barry
PS updates if I run the Cron job manually. Is this a hosting problem?

try php -q /dev/null/......
-q means quiet mode so no output, -O i dont believe is used anymore you can probably drop that, and php -q works for me but im on cpanel so mine is like this
php -q /home/username/public_html/ow_cron/run.php
might not work on your system config
