RSS Error: file_get_contents could not read the file

Configure

RSS Error: file_get_contents could not read the file

    Hi,

    Have a check with these options:

    -> Disable all the plugins and enable it one by one to find out the culprit.
    -> install wp-includes and wp-admin folder again.
    -> Remove all the unwanted code from htaccess file.

    Thanks,

    Shane G.

    Ok,

    – reinstalling wp-includes and wp-admin : done (now manually, yesterday by automated upgrade process) by deleting the folder first and then reuploading the standard files.

    – disabled plugins one by one, no effect

    I had same issue for client site (2.8.4) but noticed another site of mine (2.8.3) okay. This worked to clear it up:

    1. Hover over the box that displays the error message. The hovering should invoke the appearance of a link that says “Configure”. Click it.
    2. If “WordPress Development Blog” you’ll see two fields that you’ll fill with:
      [URL field] –> http://wordpress.org/development/feed/
      [Feed title] –> WordPress Development Blog
    3. Now indicate you want to display 2 items, and check the content and date boxes
    4. Do a similar thing if it is the “Other WordPress News” that’s throwing the error notice. I had error notices on both of them.
    5. For Other WordPress News, the URL is http://planet.wordpress.org/feed/ and the title I used was Other WordPress News. Now indicate how many items to display and check the content and item date fields

    I hope that helps. It did get rid of those awkward errors on a client site. Cheers.
