This problem just reoccurred for me – the steps I’d taken weren’t in the file anymore, so I redid those.

This followed with an error on line 790 about a null object call, so I pasted the above lines at the start of that function and it fixed it.

I had this same error using the Neosential Reloaded theme.

I fixed it by commenting out the error’d line (3042 for most people), and then by adding

if ($this->registry === NULL) {
        $this->registry = new SimplePie_Registry();
      }

    if ($this->sanitize === NULL) {
      $this->sanitize = new SimplePie_Sanitize();
    }

To the start of public function init() (Somewhere around line 1300).

I believe the problem is that the construct function isn’t being called, and so those two objects are not created.
