Feed Informer: Creating an Aggregate RSS Reader with the Wordpres Default RSS

September 11, 2011 / posted in Wordpress Tips / Comments Off

I had terrible time trying to find a widget that would satisfy my need to bring together a variety of RSS feeds into one widget… and give them the settings I required in terms of how many total should be displayed, etc.  So after hours, nay, days! of looking for a solution, I find realized the secret wasn’t in the widget, but the rss feed.  In other words, create a digest of the feeds you want and roll them into one feed.

Enter: Feed Informer.  It did exactly what I needed and in the end I used the default WordPress RSS widget.  For a look at the result, check out the widget entitled “Headlines from the AUR Blogs” in the footer of The American University of Rome website.

“site_inaccessible” Jetpack Error Fix

September 11, 2011 / posted in Wordpress Tips / Comments Off

For those of you having trouble connecting your WordPress Stats to your site after upgrading to Jetpack, my hosting tech support told me to add the following to my .htaccess file in the www/www root directory:

<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterRemove 114
</IfModule>

That will free up access to the xmlrpc.php file, which could fix the problem.

Now, it is very likely that the above code is specific to host’s server configuration, but the secret is to allow access to xmlrpc.php file.

Cheers,

Tim
