 * Hi everyone,
 * I’m running a network with about 15-domains. I installed Feedwordpress and when
   click activate on one of the domains, it takes down the entire network. I have
   to FTP in and change the name of the plugin to disable it and bring back everything.
 * I’m running a VPS instance with MediaTemple. I tried turning off a few major 
   plugins, but it doesn’t seem that it’s conflicting. Could it be the available
   memory?
 * I’m a bit mystified and can’t find a lot of information on line about this issue.

 * Hey Tony,
 * Sorry this is probably way too late for you, but I’m experimenting with a WP 
   MultiSite installation with BuddyPress and FeedWordPress. i only have four blogs,
   and there were a couple of minor issues so far – but it appears to be working
   quite well. My experience was similar to yours, so figured i’d share =)
 * i did not network activate the FWP plugin, but i installed it as Site SuperAdmin
   and then went into a subdomain blog to activate the plugin and start testing 
   the feeds. i have over 30 feeds installed, although some 8-10 more were “rejected”
   by FWP.
 * The issues i spoke of were the initial activation of the plugin caused a site-
   wide redirect bug – i had to FTP in, backup the newly created feedwordpress folder,
   and then delete the feedwordpress folder from the wp-content/plugins folder before
   i could log onto the site.
 * Gave me a bit of a shock, but once i logged in there was no problem re-uploading
   the feedwordpress subfolder to the plugins folder, no need to hassle with deactivating
   or uninstalling the plugin. It just “worked” after that initial hiccup.
 * FeedWordPress author Charles Johnson has also written some nice plugins (call
   them FWP+) which offer a lot of enhancement to the core FWP plugin – and are 
   also free. They should probably be installed prior to the initial synchronization
   with the feeds, to maximize continuity of appearance and other logistics.
 * I also noticed that the FWP-Sic-Em image grabber plugin was not zipped correctly
   and could not install via the Dashboard – but it was easy enough to move the 
   readme file into the fwp-sic-em subfolder which contained the PHP and JavaScript,
   and then zip, upload and activate that new fwp-sic-em.zip

 * I wonder if I dare to try that, too. The one blog that uses Feedwordpress is 
   so far a seperate install, not included into the network.
