[Plugin: FeedWordPress] WP crashes when Feedwordpress is activated

Hi bufordt:

I found that my site would get this “500 server message” and discovered that my .htaccess file was being rewritten. You may want to check your Cron jobs in your CPanel to see if there are any working.

If you don’t administrate the CPanel, you may want to to talk to tech support.

Needless to say, because my site has to remain live and running with the feeds. I’m trying something else.

WordPress crashes when I activate Feedwordpress. Deleting the feedwordpress directory in the plugins directory allows WordPress to work again.

Having the same issue here when trying to create a new install 2011.0211.2 on WP 3.1

Interestingly I have this combination working fine on two other sites where they have upgraded to these versions over time.

So I did some further testing and found that there is a conflict with the following two plugins. If either of these are active when the FeedWordpress plugin is activated then the whole back end crashes out:

Recent Posts with Excerpts
Stop Spammer Registrations

With them disabled then it works just fine.

Hi Cris:

I’m using a child theme with resident plugins built in. Thanks for posting your observations. This does make sense. I found that certain plugins “clash” with each other when activated because they are fighting for the same resources. Interesting. Thanks again. Very helpful. Forgot about that situation. I’ve been using wordpress for the last 3 years. 2 years solid and 1 year off and on.
