thanks for your help

What is the URL that you are trying to enter? Zotero will reject URLs that do not start with http:// or https://

I tried
https://www.zotero.org/
https://journals.plos.org/plosone/

etc.
when I make "enter", nothing happens

Okay, neither of those are RSS feeds. You need to enter the URL for the actual RSS feed, not just the web site generally.

So, for example, for PLOS One, it's:
http://journals.plos.org/plosone/search/feed/atom?sortOrder=DATE_NEWEST_FIRST&filterJournals=PLoSONE&unformattedQuery=

(see here: http://journals.plos.org/plosone/s/help-using-this-site#loc-what-rss-feeds-does-plos-provide)

Well, neither of those are valid RSS feeds, which is why you cannot add them. For PLOS, click the RSS feed icon at the top-right of the page and copy the URL in your browser into the dialog.
