If your syndicated feed stops when you upgrade

One blogsite that I’ve been working on included a News page that was made up from the RSS feed from the client’s separate blog.

And using the FeedWordPress plugin all seemed to work just fine.  Until we noticed that it had stopped!

Foolishly my first approach was to revisit all the settings and check those, however what I should have done is popped to the WordPress support forum and do a search there.  Or at least check against the plugin details there.  One issue that others had noted was upon upgrading the WordPress itself, with someone having figured out that a couple of files needed to be moved – presto!  This is exactly what happened here -and thanks to herculano for sharing the solution:

Just copy the files that come with feedwordpress:
/MagpieRSS-upgrade/rss.php
/MagpieRSS-upgrade/rss-functions.php
to
/wp-includes folder in wordpress

So – always check that your plugins are happy after you’ve upgraded WordPress, and go have a good look at the WordPress support forum for solutions.
