 * Hi,
 * I am running a site that uses a plugin to fetch XML feeds and create posts in
   WP. It runs great except one thing: when I try to update an xml feed manually
   by just hitting its update button in wpadmin, it runs fine. When I enable its
   option to auto-run every X hours, it runs the update, but the FIRST visitor in
   the site sees this error instead of the site:
 * Call to undefined function wp_read_image_metadata() in /*****/wp-content/plugins/****/
   record.php on line 491
 * I have gone through the server error logs and found nothing relevant. Any ideas
   how to troubleshoot this?
