Hm, not seen this one before. Line 7 of rss.php is in the middle of a comment and should pose no problems for WP or the widget. Which probably means that the file is corrupted. Try downloading it again, or upgrading to the latest WP.
OK

Hi Bill!

I’ve just testet the plugin with 3.0.4 and 3.1RC2 and it works fine under both releases. I see there is a typo on the settings page where it tells you to use cnn_news instead of cnn-news when inserting a newsfeed in a post/widget. I’ll fix that and release it as a minor update soon.

Wow. Great Plugin! I like the trick to rotate stories, by keeping the name and title for the feeds the same. It would be great if 2 feeds could be combined, or better yet, interwoven (but would that be a function of the RSS feeder?).

Hi, I feel kind of silly asking this but is it possible to make the feed appear on a static page and not on the sidebar? I would really like to use it as content, not just a sidebar feed. I tried copying the code into the html on a page, after installing the widget into the sidebar. Am I doing something wrong? Is this an option-to have the feeds on a page as opposed to just the sidebar?

Hi Paul!
Tricky to say with so little information. Can you email olav at the obvious domain name with a link to the page you’re trying to add the plugins on? And some information about what kind of error messages you get. Have you tried the widget form as well, not just adding the short codes to a page/post? Same problem there? The two most common problems are too restrictive php-configurations and your hosting provider not allowing outbound connections. The plugins obviously need to fetch information remotely, so they need to be allowed that.

I am trying to implement this on a content page. I tried both plugins and neither seem to work. I am using WP 2.8.1 version. What could be the problem?
