Answer 1

Hi,

Please reboot your SharePoint server. After finishing, check again.

Please check if all RSS viewer web parts on all pages have this issue.

Please create a new page and insert a RSS Viewer web part and configure it as the problematic web part and check if the new web part could work well.

Thanks,

Wendy
