   I had the following code working fine with 2.8
   

   <ul>
   <?php
   if(function_exists('fetch_feed')){
   	$uri = 'http://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 }
