hope you can help me with this!
I have a custom page template that pulls in an RSS feed from a separate site (owned by the same guy, my client). While testing the page on my own server, it works beautifully, but when I migrated the theme over to my clients' wordpress install (both are v3.0.1), the feed would not appear, and neither would the page's sidebar or footer. When I investigated further, it appeared that WP simply stops parsing the page template when it hits the feed section.
I suspect a plugin conflict, although I've not been able to replicate the error on my own server, even when I installed the same plugins as my client & configured them similarly. Any ideas as to what may be causing WP to choke? I'd really appreciate any guidance. For reference, here is the RSS feed code I'm using:
<?php
// Get a SimplePie feed object from the specified feed source.
$rss = fetch_feed('http://digitaldads.com/feed/');
if (!is_wp_error( $rss ) ) : // Checks that the object is created correctly
// Figure out how many total items there are, but limit it to 5.
$maxitems = $rss->get_item_quantity(5);
// Build an array of all the items, starting with element 0 (first element).
$rss_items = $rss->get_items(0, $maxitems);
endif;
?>
<ul>
<?php if ($maxitems == 0) echo '<li>No items.</li>';
else
// Loop through each feed item and display each item as a hyperlink.
foreach ( $rss_items as $item ) : ?>
<li>
<a href='<?php echo $item->get_permalink(); ?>'
title='<?php echo 'Posted '.$item->get_date('j F Y | g:i a'); ?>'>
<?php echo $item->get_title(); ?></a>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
Thanks!
