Having the same problem. Has anyone heard of a fix? The only thing I can do that works is to remove the widget.

Not a very satisfactory solution, after all!

I’ve been having this problem too, and I’ve seen postings by others in other places indicating they are too.

The only solution I’ve come up with is to disable the rss feed (remove widget) entirely, which I don’t find a satisfactory fix for at least 2 reasons:

1) it messes up the look of my sidebar
2) the feed itself provides useful information when working properly

Turning off the PHP error messages looks like a good step (like I just needed one more thing to do!) but has anyone got a REAL fix for this?

Unfortunately, I’m not a PHP whiz, so I’m stuck. Also, I’m wondering if this problem didn’t begin when I upgraded–2.71 currently.

Not everyone is thrilled. If you’re lucky (as I was with most of my blogs) you’ll be able to upgrade with Simple Scripts and everything goes okay. But sometimes Simple Scripts is a bit simple, if you know what I mean. You can find out more here and here. Basically, I found that Simple Scripts is not as flexible as Fantastico when it comes to WordPress configuration. If you install WordPress in its own subdirectory, for example, you may have problems. And Bluehost support doesn’t want to know… they haven’t a clue what to do either.

To be fair, this appears to be more a problem for us previously existing users rather than people just signing up and installing WP for the first time. But I was a new user once, and I would probably not have chosen Bluehost if I’d known I would wind up in this spot. So buyer beware.

Yes, defining the individual widgets in separate files would have been nice.
