One of the nice things about Joomla is that you can pull RSS newsfeeds in to your content area by use of the newsfeed component. I am currently using this feature to list the CloudAccess.net Webinars as I just don't have enough hours in my day to run webinars as frequently (and as well) as CloudAccess.net. I ran into a big issue with the RSS newsfeed though when it came to display on the front end.
The RSS Newsfeed in Joomla was simply disappearing!

I'd get everything set up, check the front end and see that the RSS feed was displaying properly. I'd come back a few minutes later, and lo, and behold, it was gone! I searched for the answer, and found a solution that worked for this site on the JoomlaCode website, "Single newsfeed doesn't display when caching is enabled"

Here's what I did that fixed the problem on this website:

1. Opened Filezilla (FTP Client) and logged into my server. I went to httpdocs/libraries/joomla/factory.php as in the solutions provided by the bug squad.

2. With a text editor, I went to line 341 - public static function getFeedParser($url, $cache_time = 0)
and replaced it with the code provided here:

public static function getFeedParser($url, $cache_time = 0)
{
jimport('simplepie.simplepie');

$cache = self::getCache('feed_parser', '');

if($simplepie = $cache->get($url)){
return $simplepie;
}else{
$simplepie = new SimplePie(null, null, 0);

$simplepie->enable_cache(false);
$simplepie->set_feed_url($url);
$simplepie->force_feed(true);

$simplepie->init();

if ($cache_time > 0)
{
$cache->setLifeTime($cache_time);
$cache->store($simplepie, $url);
}

return $simplepie;
}
}


3. Next, go to your Joomla admin and clear the cache by going to the top menu and clicking > Site > Maintenance > Clear Cache


Now your RSS feed will not disappear anymore!
