Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, that didn’t solve the issue. Is it possible for you to send me your rss.php and rss-functions.php so that I can do a diff and see if anything is different?

Vikram,

I would try copying the rss.php and rss-functions.php files from the magpie directory within the FeedWordPress plugin into the wp-includes directory of your WP (or WPMu) installation. You’ll have to over write the orgiinals, but this worked for me. Let me know.

Hi there,

Stumbled upon this post when searching for a resolution to the same issue. Have you found a solution yet? (links not pointing to the original post)

Hey Matt,

Just catching up on redbaiters email Sorry I didn’t respond to you sooner, my bad.

Ok, so feedWordPress is running into some strange issues that may be related to Donncha’s sitewide tags page plugin, but I think there is a work around. As for the single WP, what is the error? Post it here or send it to my gmail and we’ll take a look. We can;t have CUNY’s finest, and the fine purveyor of a new NEH grant on Whitman (you are sick and rule) going without some badass aggregation and syndication.

Argh! Love your post, Jim, but I’m having problems with FeedWP myself. Unfortunately, after the install (and after doing the Magpie file upgrades), I’m getting errors every time I add a feed (it keeps telling me that there is “no feed found,” even though I know that these feeds are verifiable feeds).

I’m not working in WPMU, but rather in plain WP. have you run into this issue at all?

@Andre:
Are you using the Sitewide tags plugin? Moreover are you using the sitewide tags 3-in-1 panel widget? I tested it on my space apart from UMW Blogs, and it worked fine until I installed Donncha’s sitewide tags.
Hmmm, I think the error I outlined in point number 2 is the issues, and it seems related to this plugin. Must dig deeper. An idea of what you are using would be awesome.

@Bill:

Drupal, is that a Content Mangement System or something like that? Sounds neat, I’ll have to take a look

@Andy:
Rapid is awesome, a tough film to watch and a wild ending. It is one of Bava’s best in my opinion, and Straw Dogs as either a pre-game show or post-game show would make for an ideal movie evening. Let me know what you think.

Greetings, Reverend,

FWIW, in Drupal, the FeedAPI and the Feed Element Mapper works incredibly cleanly out of the box. Tags are imported and mapped to the right place, and everybody is happy. More importantly, this is code that has been rock solid for about a year.

We haven’t had that problem at all. Our latest FeedWordPress blog is http://blogs.ubc.ca/blogsquad . As you can see, all the links are directing back to the original blog. Does it do it on both the UMW blogs and your personal WPMU installation?

@Lloyd,

Yeah, you are right about that, I love the boxing expressions. Now, if you beautiful, wonderful folk at WordPress could build this plugin into 2.7 without the bugs I would buy you a copy of the DVD When We Were Kings.
