I have read the knowledge base. I created a firewall rule for the URL to Allow. I have also tried setting the Firewall to “Essentially Off”. Finally, I set Cloudflare to Development Mode. After trying all these things I still have not been able to get Google Merchant Feed to fetch the xml file from the server at the URL.
I have also contacted the hosting company and they believe the issue is with Cloudflare. Has anyone resolved the issue with Cloudflare not allowing connection to Google Merchant Center XML Feed?
I don’t see any events in the Firewall Activity Log that correspond with the times of the file fetch attempts. I did run Cloudflare Diagnostics on the URL in question. There I received several errors that indicate that Cloudflare is unable to connect to the server at the URL. I have contacted the hosting company again to see if they can help with resolving the issue.
I seem to have resolved this issue by creating a new feed with the same data at a different URL. I setup the new feed in Google Merchant Center as a new data source. The file is now uploading.
