 * This is to flag to others that the coming WP release will include the latest 
   simplepie plugin:
    [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/36669](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/36669)
 * In the checks the people there ran, they noticed that:
 * FeedWordPress (30,000 active): The plugin still works and successfully pulls 
   in posts from a feed, but there are a few warnings thrown when SimplePie is upgraded.
   
   Declaration of FeedWordPie_Item::get_id($hash = false) should be compatible with
   SimplePie_Item::get_id($hash = false, $fn = ‘md5’) in wp-content/plugins/feedwordpress/
   feedwordpie_item.class.php on line 4 Declaration of FeedWordPress_Parser::parse(&
   $data, $encoding) should be compatible with SimplePie_Parser::parse(&$data, $
   enco

 * Hi all, sorry about this problem. The good news is, the issue should be resolved
   by installing the most recent release of FeedWordPress (2020.0818). Hope this
   helps! Let me know how it works for you.
