Wordpress admin index.php error

[cd34]

in index.php try removing the @ from this line, it'll tell you what the error is.

$rss = @fetch_rss('http://feeds.technorati.com/cosmos/rss/?url='. trailingslashit(get_option('home')) .'&partner=wordpress');

My guess is that the server you are on cannot resolve that name for whatever reason. It is interesting that recently there was a registrar change on that record, but, they have enough nameservers that I cannot imagine why it cannot resolve.

At worst, try


$rss = @fetch_rss('http://209.237.226.237/cosmos/rss/?url='. trailingslashit(get_option('home')) .'&partner=wordpress');

or comment out the line completely. its a counter that shows wordpress how many times you have logged into the admin and does the version check to see if you are running the most current version.

I believe that is querying Technorati for the info that gets plugged into the "Latest Activity" sidebar of your admin. That's the block that tells about the incoming links to your blog from other blogs whichTechnorati has indexed.
