rss.php problems

  • Hi all,

    I just migrated my site a new host and all is well except for a problem with a feed that I pull in and display. See here:

    https://www.fivecentnickel.com/

    In the footer I have a block of RSS feeds, and the top left one is erroring out with this:

    ———-
    Warning: Attempt to assign property of non-object in /web/sites/pbmedia/fivecentnickel.com/wp-includes/rss.php on line 428

    Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /web/sites/pbmedia/fivecentnickel.com/wp-content/themes/lightCMSfcn/footer.php on line 17
    ———-

    I’ve quadruple checked the code, and it’s fine. Swap another feed into that spot, and it’s fine. Move that feed into another cell and it’s busted.

    I have a friend that is running this same feed in his footer and it’s working fine (we’re both running WP2.2).

    Can anyone provide any troubleshooting suggestions?

    Thanks.

  • Couldn’t see the problem on your site – did you find a fix? I’m having the same problem at https://www.blogtender.com/

    I added a / to the end of the url for the feed which seems to have fixed it. Strange that it used to work though.

    Hi Tom

    This just popped up on my blog:
    Warning: Attempt to assign property of non-object in /home/meetthe/public_html/wordpress/wp-includes/rss.php on line 428

    Unknown Feed
    An error has occured; the feed is probably down. Try again later.

    My blog is at https://www.meettheceo.com/wordpress/.
    How do I fix this? And what is it?

    Many thanks.

    I have this problem on 2.3. The / at the end does only fix temporary. Got the error back after some time. Removed the / at the end and the feed is back. Any help someone?

    My webhost actually debugged rss.php and got it working again. I can’t recall the exact changes that they made, but I can try to dig them up.

    Here you go…

    On line 427, change this:

    if ( isset($rss) and $rss ) {

    to this:

    if ( isset($rss) && (is_object($rss) ||(is_string($rss) && $rss=unserialize($rss))) ) {

    Nickel – Thanks for that mate.

    Saved me a whole bunch of hassle!

    Quick question, which I wonder if you or anyone else can answer.

    I upgraded to PHP 5 and then had this problem. I imagine because it is object oriented? And the fix you mention works fine to correct it.

    However, I notice that within the wp-includes folder are also the following files that seem to relate to feeds in one way or another.

    atomlib.php
    feed-atom-comments.php
    feed-atom.php
    feed-rdf.php
    feed-rss.php
    feed-rss2-comments.php
    feed-rss2.php
    feed.php
    rss-functions.php

    Do these also need to be altered in some way to ensure that this problem doesn’t crop up in any way?

    Or else to work ok with PHP 5?
