I have the same design set up on a regular install of WordPress and it is working fine but on the network blog its not. This is the error: * Fatal error: Call to undefined function fetch_feed() * Thanks grant Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 46 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fetch_feed-function-not-working-1/page/2/?output_format=md) [3](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fetch_feed-function-not-working-1/page/3/?output_format=md) [4](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fetch_feed-function-not-working-1/page/4/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fetch_feed-function-not-working-1/page/2/?output_format=md) * Moderator [Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ipstenu/) * (@ipstenu) * 🏳️‍🌈 Advisor and Activist * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fetch_feed-function-not-working-1/#post-2223453) * What’s your code?
