# Error while attempting RSS import

 * This may be a permissions issue, I have tried changing the folders and files 
   to 777 (I know it’s not smart to leave them that way) but when I click on the
   RSS option in the Import section I get this error:
 *     ```
       Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class rss_import in /__text removed__/public_html/wordpress/wp-admin/import/rss.php on line 3
       ```
   
 * but I get the same type error on the other option also. Any ideas?
