 * I am new to this… here is my problem.. I’m trying to get Headlines from a local
   newspapers rss feed to show in the sidebar…
 * When I paste the fetch_rss code… it will not display anything following that 
   code…
 * Here is the code I used…
 *     ```
       <h2><?php _e('Headlines'); ?></h2>
       <?php // Get RSS Feed(s)
   
       include_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . '/rss.php');
       $rss = fetch_rss('http://feeds.orlandosentinel.com/orlandosentinel/news/local/seminole/');
       $maxitems = 5;
       $items = array_slice($rss->items, 0, $maxitems);
       ?>
   
       <ul>
       <?php if (empty($items)) echo '
       <li>No items</li>
       ';
       else
       foreach ( $items as $item ) : ?>
   
       <li><a>'
       title='<?php echo $item['title']; ?>'>
       <?php echo $item['title']; ?>
       </a></li>
       <?php endforeach; ?>
       </ul>
       ```
   
 * Any help is appreciated.

 * This is an ongoing issue with rss_fetch(). I have no answers, as I’m finding 
   the same problem. It seems that the feed is always at fault, but you have to 
   verify outside of WP. The actual feed problem will vary.
