# RSS Links not working

 * Just noticed that quite a number of my RSS links have also failed eg:
 * RSS Error: WP HTTP Error: Could not open handle for fopen() to [http://english.aljazeera.net/Services/Rss/?PostingId=200772215116](http://english.aljazeera.net/Services/Rss/?PostingId=200772215116)
 * RSS Error: WP HTTP Error: Could not open handle for fopen() to [http://www.prwatch.org/blog/feed](http://www.prwatch.org/blog/feed)
 * RSS Error: WP HTTP Error: Could not open handle for fopen() to [http://www.legitgov.org/legitgov.xml](http://www.legitgov.org/legitgov.xml)
 * etc, etc.
 * This has probably got to be the worst ‘upgrade’ ever and it’s mostly useless ‘
   improvements’ eg, the mess that’s been made of the plugins and Widgets admin 
   pages. What was wrong with the 2.7.1 versions, they worked perfectly well, easy
   to navigate etc. Now, all I’ve got is dogs!

 * I am facing the same issue in WP 2.8.2. The rss feed I’m trying to integrate 
   is [http://www.geeksix.com/feed](http://www.geeksix.com/feed) OR [http://feeds2.feedburner.com/geeksix](http://feeds2.feedburner.com/geeksix)—
   any suggestions out there?

 * @ jawtry
    so what is wrong with this one? [http://feeds2.feedburner.com/geeksix](http://feeds2.feedburner.com/geeksix)
 * [http://www.geeksix.com/feed](http://www.geeksix.com/feed)
    redirects to feed
   burner do you need something else?
 * @ bostonacoustics

 * I know — the feed seems to be functioning fine, and doesn’t seem to be malformed.
   However, when I try to use another wordpress site (the working sample at [http://test.fireflyrpg.com](http://test.fireflyrpg.com))
   to pull in the feeds the default RSS widget doesn’t pull in the feed. I just 
   tried another RSS widget, and it’s not pulling it in either. Any thoughts?

 * FYI: I solved this problem by updating the Magpie RSS stuff using instructions
