PHP SimpleXMLElement error

[Trickster61]

Hiya,

 

I have Cubecart 5.2.12

 

In the error log in Cpanel I'm seeing this series of errors over and over.  I guess I want to know if this is an easy fix or should I submit a ticket or hire a freelancer?  I don't think I've ever edited these files.  I've looked at dashboard.index.inc.php on line 243 and I'm clueless because I know nothing about PHP.  Thanks for looking.

This is line 243 in dashboard.index.inc.php if it's any help:

 

if (($data = new SimpleXMLElement($response)) !== false) {

 

I'm kinda thnking the line 259 is the code that generates the error message:

 

trigger_error($e->getMessage(), E_USER_WARNING);

Rick

It's probable your CC5212 has an outdated RSS Feed source.

Thanks!  I've put that in.

 

You are the hardest working, on the ball, forum trouble shooter I've ever experienced.

Hi

Glad you got this sorted earlier this morning with help from Brian. You might like to take a read of our blog posting about Manually Updating the RSS url following an upgrade from V4 to V5 for an explanation of the cause and the fix.

Thanks
