    I had the following code working fine with 2.8

    <ul>
<?php
if(function_exists('fetch_feed')){
	$uri = 'https://search.twitter.com/search?q=test';
	$feed = fetch_feed($uri);
	$maxitems = $feed->get_item_quantity(2);
}
?>
<?php
//printf( $feed->get_title());
foreach ($feed->get_items(0, $maxitems) as $item){
$links = $item->get_item_tags(SIMPLEPIE_NAMESPACE_ATOM_10, 'link');
$img = $links[1]['attribs']['']['href'];
echo "<li>";
printf('<a href="%s"><img alt="%s" src="'.$img.'" /></a>',$item->get_permalink(), $item->get_title());
//printf('<h2><a href="%s">%s</a></h2>',$item->get_permalink(), $item->get_title());
echo "<p>";
printf('%s',$item->get_description());
//printf('%s',$item->get_link());
printf(' <strong>%s</strong>',$item->get_date('j F Y | g:i a'));
echo "</p>";
echo "</li>\n";
}
?>
</ul>

    I upgraded to 2.9 and I get the following error:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined method WP_Error::get_item_quantity() in domain\wp-content\themes\mytheme\footer.php on line 14

    Any ideas?

  • Going by the codex your code is correct. Only thing is, is the uri specified valid? I would suggest that you should be referencing
    twitter.com/search.atom?q=test rather than twitter.com/search?.

    It could be that an invalid resource is returning an error when you come to run operations on the feed.

    Fantastic, that was the exact fix ??

    Thanks

    I’m getting the same problem with a finicky rss feed. Is there a way I can skip the code if it returns an error?

    Figured it out.

    If the feed you’re referencing is empty, simply check if the number of items equals zero:

    if ($rss->get_item_quanity != 0) { run the code } else { run something else }
