Sorry for the dumb question. That text was in header.php, of course.

After posting this puzzling question, it finally occurred to me go through the basic troubleshooting procedure of deactivating, then reactivating all plugins, one by one. When Role Scoper was deactivated, the error went away.

Basically, Role Scoper works fine when you get the settings right. I am using it together with WC Members to make a members site. There is more detail here on how Role Scoper made it possible to give users special posting and viewing capabilities, and have an entry level of users with the Contributor role who have the same capabilities, but whose posts are moderated.

The Role Scoper and WC Members plugins have a few important things in common. Their developers provide uncommonly thorough documentation, they release upgrades regularly and they offer excellent support through their forums.

This is one solution to my question, but it requires routing the feed through an additional server.

1. Use Yahoo pipes to sort your feeds as you like (all you need are the “fetch feed” “sort” and “pipe output” modules), and create a pipe.

2. Install the FeedBurner FeedSmith Plugin for WordPress. This routes your feed through FeedBurner, which is a reasonable option if you also want to use that service, but you can also use this plugin only to redirect your feed to your Yahoo Pipe. The FeedSmith plugin consists of a single php file.

3. In your Dashboard you should now find “Feedburner” under the “Settings” listings. That link gives you a screen entitled “Set Up Your FeedBurner Feed.” In item Number 2, paste in the address of your Yahoo pipe. (…pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.info?_id=[some number])

At least it worked for me. But it really seems you should be able to directly add a function to your WordPress installation that would perform this simple operation, so it isn’t necessary to rely on a second server.

You didn’t get any outside help on this one, but your thorough explanation of the problem and how you resolved it is good reference, bound to help someone else, even if their problem isn’t exactly the same. Thanks for sharing.
