SimplePie template file is not readable

me too. anyone got a fix?

You should have a folder of templates here:
/wp-content/plugins/simplepie-plugin-for-wordpress/templates

If so, try adding something like this to the array:
‘template’ => ‘sideblog’

Here’s a chunk of demo code to try out:

<?php
echo SimplePieWP(array(
‘http://feeds.feedburner.com/simplepie&#8217;,
‘http://laughingmeme.org/category/magpie/feed/&#8217;
), array(
‘items’ => 5,
‘cache_duration’ => 1800,
‘date_format’ => ‘j M Y, g:i a’,
‘template’ => ‘sideblog’
));
?>
