“An error has occurred; the feed is probably down. Try again later.”

I have same problem when finished the 2.5 upgrade.

I had got the same problem when I updated to WordPress MU 1.3.3.

I have solved that issue updating the wp-includes/rss.php with the last version of MagpieRSS. Then, on wp-includes/widgets.php on line 967 I have changed this code:

$title = "<a class='rsswidget' href='$url' title='" . attribute_escape(__('Syndicate this content')) ."'><img style='background:orange;color:white;border:none;' width='14' height='14' src='$icon' alt='RSS' /></a> <a class='rsswidget' href='$link' title='$desc'>$title</a>";

With this other:

$title = utf8_encode("<a class='rsswidget' href='$url' title='" . attribute_escape(__('Syndicate this content')) ."'><img style='background:orange;color:white;border:none;' width='14' height='14' src='$icon' alt='RSS' /></a> <a class='rsswidget' href='$link' title='$desc'>$title</a>");

This the wp-includes/rss.php code:

Thx for stupid moderating.

Wow. I really needed that rss.php code.

Thanks.

I’m having the same problem. How about reposting the rss.php code?

Thanks in advance!!!

Hopefully what I experienced may help you.

I’m also having this issue – specifically w/ the linkshare affiliate RSS for APple iTunes ..

I’ve installed the Magpie Plugin, and KB Advanced RSS – regardless of which RSS widget I choose, (and yes, I’ve got the Magpie RSS installed), I’m getting this error.

However, when I put my feedproxy.google.com/ feed address in, it seems to parse fine .. so it seems like this issue is associated w/ something in the itunes affiliate RSS link.
