I'd like the RSS feed of another site to run in the sidebar of my website, Evil Beet Gossip. The WP Codex provides example code for how to do this.
<h2><?php _e('Recent news from Some-Other Blog:'); ?></h2>
<?php // Get RSS Feed(s)
include_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . '/feed.php');
// Get a SimplePie feed object from the specified feed source.
$rss = fetch_feed('http://example.com/rss/feed/goes/here');
// Figure out how many total items there are, but limit it to 5.
$maxitems = $rss->get_item_quantity(5);
// Build an array of all the items, starting with element 0 (first element).
$rss_items = $rss->get_items(0, $maxitems);
?>
<ul>
<?php if ($maxitems == 0) echo '<li>No items.</li>';
else
// Loop through each feed item and display each item as a hyperlink.
foreach ( $rss_items as $item ) : ?>
<li>
<a href='<?php echo $item->get_permalink(); ?>'
title='<?php echo 'Posted '.$item->get_date('j F Y | g:i a'); ?>'>
<?php echo $item->get_title(); ?></a>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
The site whose RSS I want to import is here and the RSS feed for it is here. The code provided in the codex works when I use, say, CNN's RSS feed, but it doesn't work when I use the feed I want to use. It just stops loading when the PHP code starts running.
Is there something wrong or incompatible with this feed? Is there a change I need to make in the PHP code?
