 * If there’s an error in a linked RSS feed using the Proper RSS widget, it stops
   the loading of the rest of the page the widget resides on. Beyond the obvious
   problems, it’s also caused javascript errors on pages when some JS codes hooked
   to the wp_footer don’t load.
 * Can you implement a more graceful fail when there’s an RSS error? (I’ve never
   dealt with coding for RSS feed, so I’m not sure how terrible this would be.)
 * Thanks for an otherwise great plugin.

 * Jimmy, sorry for the delay here, I don’t get notices from this forum automatically.
 * I don’t think that should be a problem, though I’ve never seen it fail completely.
   Can you post the RSS feed you used?
 * Thanks!

 * No worries on the delay.
 * The feed is [http://fitbottomedgirls.com/feed](http://fitbottomedgirls.com/feed).
   We’ve had a couple types of instances with the RSS feed causing the plugin to
   fail. Once a JS sign-up form was put in a post, and that caused a fail. (Although
   there wasn’t an actual RSS-error in the feed.) The other times, it *was* an RSS
   error due to a tinyMCE extension inserting some weird code at the end of a post.
 * Thanks for your attention.

 * The plugin should catch errors but it’s probably better if it didn’t fail completely
   or stopped the rest of the page loading. Let me see if we can do better error
   handling on the next version of the plugin. Currently, it looks like the feed
   is coming through OK.
