Resolved the issue with some help of a friend.

Needed to set the feed timeout parameter to be longer then 10seconds.

This is done in the feed.php file which is found in the wp-includes folder.
$feed->set_timeout(60);

Should look like this:

/**
* Build SimplePie object based on RSS or Atom feed from URL.
*
* @since 2.8
*
* @param string $url URL to retrieve feed
* @return WP_Error|SimplePie WP_Error object on failure or SimplePie object on success
*/

function fetch_feed($url) {
   require_once (ABSPATH . WPINC . '/class-feed.php');
   $feed = new SimplePie();
   $feed->set_feed_url($url);
   $feed->set_cache_class('WP_Feed_Cache');
   $feed->set_file_class('WP_SimplePie_File');   $feed->set_cache_duration(apply_filters('wp_feed_cache_transient_lifetime', 43200, $url));
   do_action_ref_array( 'wp_feed_options', array( &$feed, $url ) );

   $feed->set_timeout(60);

   $feed->init();
   $feed->handle_content_type();
   if ( $feed->error() )
       return new WP_Error('simplepie-error', $feed->error())

   return $feed;
}

I have since added:

if (!is_wp_error( $afl_link ) ) {

				$maxitems = $afl_link->get_item_quantity(20);
				}else{
					echo $afl_link->get_error_message();
				}

under the line :
$afl_link = fetch_feed('http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=8116da6bea0aacd7aceecaec5124dd1b&_render=rss');

It seems that the issue is with a timeout. I am getting the following error message now.

WP HTTP Error: Operation timed out after 10001 milliseconds with 0 bytes received

This is doing my head in. Would appreciate any help if somebody has come across this before.

Alchymyth thanks a lot. That has resolved my issue!

At the same time though, it has now brought up another one. While I can now use 1 single php page as a template and grab the custom fields to dynamically change the parameters, I think I still need a separate php file for each page indicating what page to look for the information on. This is the code I mean:

<?php
				$page_id = 1384; //ID of page from your WP admin panel
				$page_data = get_page( $page_id ); 

				echo $page_data->post_content; // Show page content
				$url = get_post_meta($page_id, 'address', true);

	?>

I can’t just say $page_id = get_page)($page_id); can I, it will not know where to look for a particular page will it.

By the way I am new to WordPress and have just been learning off tutorials and forums.

Anybody got any idea about this?
