Large RSS feed breaks code

    I have several different calendar feeds that all work fine when delivered in small amounts but choke up with a large amount of items.

    The links in this chain all appear sound: the calendars are generated in iCal, published to our private webdav server and RSS generated through php ical. The feeds all work fine in Firefox feed reader and non-WP websites, regardless of size. Code all appears sound as well.

    I’ve played with settings for memory_limit, post_max_size and upload_max_filesize, trying to get past what appears to be to sort of max limit – memory, character, item? – with no luck.

    The error is get is:
    Warning: array_slice() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in /usr/local/www/data/wordpress/wp-content/themes/structure/calpage.php on line 49

    Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /usr/local/www/data/wordpress/wp-content/themes/structure/calpage.php on line 53

    But my thought is that this error is a red herring; it seems to indicate an error in the code which, if that were the case, would hang up on anything.

    Obviously, I’m stumped. Any thoughts or suggestions appreciated.
    Thanks,Stace

    Found my own answer: it is the Magpie RSS parser called by the fetch_rss function that times out on large feeds. The default timeout is 2 seconds. To change, go to wp-config.php and add:
    define('MAGPIE_FETCH_TIME_OUT', 20);
    ’20’ being new time out in seconds.
    Hope this helps someone!
