 * Now if you run the import again it should say it imported 3. Which it will say
   that again each time, so it appears it is not importing 3 correctly. I’ll check
   the debug.log file. That being said, it may not be emojis since I fixed the couple
   of episodes that I knew had emojis. The 3 that aren’t importing may be due to
   some other reason.

 * I went ahead and deleted the existing scheduled import and re-added it without
   the embed option enabled. The podcast is set to upload a new episode on Monday.
   I’ll see if my original issue is resolved. If not, I’ll post it as a new support
   issue.
 * I am working with a podcast hosted on Simplecast.

 * Just wanted to post that I am also seeing this problem. PHP 5.5.38
 * It seems to be generating that error message on all the sites I’m running on 
   this server, but only one (so far) gives me the white screen problem when trying
   to update a user’s password.

 * Thanks for the quick response! I actually did try that change before I posted
   my question. But when I tried pulling up the page I had named “Testimonials” 
   it looked like WordPress simply redirected my request to the home page. So I 
   figured there had to be more to it.

 * I checked and the hosting for this site was using PHP 5.2. I had to edit the .
   htaccess file to use a newer PHP version and the problem is resolved. However,
   I would think that the plugin author would probably want to code a fallback for
   PHP 5.2 regardless.
 * Since I use HostGator, the following is all I had to add to my .htaccess file,
   which was easy to do with the WordPress SEO Plugin by Yoast.

 * Update: I also added this mysql command
 * `INSERT INTO wp_postmeta (post_id,meta_key,meta_value) SELECT id,'_pingme','1'
   FROM wp_posts WHERE MONTH( post_date ) = MONTH( CURDATE( ) ) AND DAYOFMONTH( 
   post_date ) = DAYOFMONTH( CURDATE( ) ) AND post_status = 'publish'`
 * From what I understand, the next time a page is loaded, the rows added by this
   command which include the _pingme field will trigger a ping. Am I correct?

 * I know something is set up wrong, that’s what I want to find out how to troubleshoot.
 * Forget about which feed is being used. None work, not even the WordPress development
   blog, which is installed by default on the wp-admin dashboard.
 * The problem occurs even with a brand-new fresh install of WordPress using the
   built-in RSS widget. That’s why I think it’s an underlying server issue.
 * What I need to know is where I can look to find errors or any information that
   I can use to start troubleshooting.

 * [http://www.empowering.com](http://www.empowering.com). Lower right section under“
   Tech Articles”. You’re just going to see the “feed is probably down” error.
 * What I’m mostly interested in is where to begin troubleshooting. Since I’m not
   clear where to even begin to look for logs or error codes, I’m not sure how to
   proceed. I’m not necessarily looking for the answer, but just where to find more
   information so that I can know how to troubleshoot this.
 * Thanks!
