 * Hi
    I´m using fetch_rss function to display some headlines of other blogs at 
   the bottom of my blog. I´m using the function as explained on the wiki: <?php
   require_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . ‘/rss-functions.php’); $rss = fetch_rss(‘[http://example.com/rss/feed/goes/here&#8217](http://example.com/rss/feed/goes/here&#8217););
   echo ‘
    - ‘;
       foreach ( $rss->items as $item ) { echo ‘
    - 
    - ‘;
       } echo ‘
 * ‘;
    ?>
 * and everything seems OK
 * But when I click on a headline, and I´m supossed to go to the articles post, 
   URL appears wrong. I get something like this:
    [http://labs.valechumbar.com/](http://labs.valechumbar.com/)\%
   22http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Muyriver/~3/41656566/\%22
 * The first http:// is my blog (where the fetch_rss actually is), and the second
   one the rss blog where I´m supossed to be linked to.
    When I click there I just
   return to my own blog, not going to the destination one
 * Any ideas on how to fix this?
 * Thanks in advance

 * Something is wrong with your code. You need to post *exactly* what your code 
   looks like, instead of posting the wiki example again.
 * Also, when you post code, put it between backticks (that’s the character below
   the tilde ~ ) so that we can actually see it.

 * :s I didn´t realize i posted the code wrond
    There it goes again:
 * `<?php
    require_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . '/rss-functions.php'); $rss = fetch_rss('
   http://feeds.feedburner.com/Muyriver'); echo '<ul>'; for($i=0;$i<5;$i++) { $item
   =$rss->items[$i]; echo '<li><a href=\"' . $item['link'] . '\" title=\"' . $item['
   title'] . '\">' . $item['title'] . '</a></li>'; } echo '</ul>'; ?>

 * Ah. Okay. I was not aware that the wiki had screwed up the backslashes. All those
   backslashes in the echo line… You don’t need ’em.
 * Try this code:
 * `<?php
    require_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . '/rss-functions.php'); $rss = fetch_rss('
   http://feeds.feedburner.com/Muyriver'); echo '<ul>'; for($i=0;$i<5;$i++) { $item
   =$rss->items[$i]; echo '<li><a href="' . $item['link'] . '" title="' . $item['
   title'] . '">' . $item['title'] . '</a></li>'; } echo '</ul>'; ?>

 * Okay, I modified the Wiki. Appearantly, the wiki always adds backslashes to double
   quote marks like that. Annoying.
