Hi there,
I am sorry to hear you are having trouble with this plugin.

First of all, do you have both the SimplePie Core and SimplePie Plugin for WordPress plugins installed and activated?

Also, you might look into disabling your other plugins one by one to see if there is a conflict with one of them (obviously, you should not disable the SimplePie plugins).

I will also try to reproduce this error myself and see if I can find something out.

Just installed this plugin and it says it doesnt have a valid header. Then the plugin doesnt display on my list of installed plugins, but is available if I find it through my host file manager. I deleted and tried a few times and still can’t get it activated. Am using the latest version of WP.

Oh, Rodney! This is too cute! It reminds me of a story we learned about from French class…

Hmmm, not sure. Do you have the latest version of the simplepie-core plugin (not sure that matters, just grasping for straws)?

Actually, on second thought, it sounds more like one of the streams you’re trying to use is not working. How many are you using and are they both showing up?

If you’re using more than one and it’s not showing up, try removing it from the widget and see if that takes away the warning.

Hope it works.

I started using this widget, and it works, except it is giving me this error right above everything that is working just fine:

Warning: file_get_contents(http:) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/misterl1/public_html/lib_blogs/wp-content/plugins/simplepie-core/simplepie.inc on line 7792

any ideas?

@Bristol

Yes, this works with 2.7.x, hopefully. I say hopefully since it appears Eva (who commented earlier) had some difficulties with it. Anyway, the version you can download directly in the plugin downloader should work just fine.

hi.. great work!
Im wanting to publish a feed from a wesites blog to the homepage with thumbs. Ill give this a go.

All the other solutions ive found seem to not work with wordpress 2.7.x Does this work with 2.7?

Really all i want is to add thumb to my feed, then parse it as html and style it with css.

thanks

Hello Eva,
I’m sorry it’s not working for you. I can’t understand why, but I must admit I’m not a PHP Guru, either. Do you know what version of PHP you have? Version 4 or 5? I’m not sure this matters, but that could be an issue.

Also, maybe you could just try downloading it again from the link above. I’ve made some changes since the first version and it might be fixed now.

I’m working on the next version, but I’m pretty busy now so that won’t be done anytime soon. Besides that, I’m traveling to Uganda today, so I may not be able to answer much during the next week.

Hej, its just the plugin that I’m looking for! Unfortunately, it does not work yet:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR, expecting ‘,’ or ‘;’ in /www/htdocs/fburga/wp-content/plugins/rss-thumbs-widget/rss-thumbs-widget-1-0/rss-thumbs-widget.php on line 114

Can you tell me how to solve the problem?
