    Hi guys,

    One of my clients today alerted me to the MODX news feeds not showing up on the dashboard of the manager. Sure enough, I logged in and reproduced. It's as if I went into the dashboard settings and just removed the feeds altogether. They are on Revo version 2.2.0. I tried two of my other MODX clients, one also on Revo 2.2.0 and the other on Revo 2.2.4, and they both exhibit the same behavior, although the 2.2.4 site was also throwing error messages (see below). Without being able to fix it immediately, I figured it was about time for a version upgrade anyway, so one site is now on 2.2.6. Not only has the problem not gone away, but now I have the same error messages as the 2.2.4 site:

    Warning: MagpieRSS: Failed to parse RSS file. (Reserved XML Name at line 1, column 38) in core/model/modx/xmlrss/rssfetch.class.php on line 237

Warning: array_keys() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in manager/controllers/default/dashboard/widget.modx-news.php on line 28

    When I view either news feed in Firefox, I do not see Firefox's usual RSS feed styling; it's just unformatted text with BBCode and Javascript errors, interestingly. Google Reader is a little more successful, but the BBCode is still there. Is something going on over at MODX HQ? Maybe Feedburner is burning? Don't think it's me or our copies of MODX!

      No, it's not you. Something is wrong with the feeds.

          That's what I've done for my clients' sites for now.
