Disallowed RSS feed tags

Follow

In Uberflip, some tags included in an RSS feed will be removed when it’s imported. This is a security measure, as RSS feeds can contain malicious code that is executable in your Hub. 

To ensure there's nothing unexpected running in your Hub, we remove the tags listed below from RSS feeds. In most cases, content within these tags is retained (such as text), but some elements and formatting may be altered or broken in the process. If elements in an imported blog post are altered or broken, this may be the cause. 

The table below outlines which tags are removed from RSS feeds, and how the change is handled.
