Plugin works locally but not on WordPress.com

    I’m developing a simple plugin that parses some XML and outputs the data as a UL. The code works perfectly well on the latest version of WordPress running on my local machine and other hosting services.

    My client’s site, however, is hosted on WordPress.com. The plugin installs and activates there without a problem, but when I insert the shortcode into the page and try to update the page I get an “Updating failed” message.

    Is there some documentation or something anywhere that would indicate what is different about their hosting environment that would prevent me from returning HTML?

    WordPress.com support was able to send me the error log. It had to do with redeclaring a function. Apparently other hosts didn’t mind that.
