I'm using Wordpress M-U 1.0 in a college class that I'm teaching. I've had my students set up individual blogs, and I'd now like to create a page that aggregates the post feeds of those blogs.
That's what the BDP RSS Aggregator plugin is meant to do, but one needs the ability to run PHP code in order to use it, and I'm having trouble getting the Exec-PHP to work.
I've installed and activated both BDP and Exec-PHP, but the Exec-PHP is failing a basic PHP echo test, even though I have disabled both the WYSIWYG rich editor
and the “WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically” option, as the Exec-PHP plugin maker suggests.
I find that when I publish a page with the line (<?php echo “This is the Exec-PHP ‘Hello World’”; ?>), WP M-U strips the line of code out of the page entirely. When I go back to edit the page after publishing it, there is simply nothing there.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on? How are you getting the BDP aggregator plugin to work on your own sites?
Thanks in advance for your help.
