 * Hello Frank,
    I have been a great fan of your plugin for years and have been 
   recommending it to everyone. It’s great.
 * Yesterday, I migrated to a new server, with the latest versions of PHP and now,
   I am seeing dozens of errors:
    Deprecated: Function split() is deprecated in /
   home/xxxxxxxx/public_html/wp-includes/rss.php on line 117
 * That line repeats constantly. I have WP 4.4.1 and your latest plugin version.
   I don’t know what is wrong.
 * Oddly, the new version refuses to show images, no matter how I apply the recommended
   code provided herein, but an old hacked version works to display the image, though
   it too shows the same error messages.
 * Also, some other RSS plugins display the error message.
 * Do you plan any updates to accommodate the latest PHP version?

 * /wp-includes/rss.php is not part of the Plugin RSSImport. It belongs to the deprecated
   MagpieRSS. Do not use this anymore!
 * Are you using something like use_simplepie=0? Switch to SimplePie by setting 
   use_simplepie=1 (Default is false if used with Shortcode, true if used with the
   PHP function).
