Dashboard Feeds Plugin not displaying

Hello,

I've installed the latest version of the Dashboard Feeds plugin (http://premium.wpmudev.org/project/dashboard-feeds) and I put the manual configuration information in as follows:

$primary_feed_url = 'http://status.onmason.com/feed/rss2';
$primary_feed_link = 'http://status.onmason.com';
$primary_feed_title = 'onMason Status';
$primary_feed_description = 'onMason development updates';
$secondary_feed_url = 'http://www.connect2mason.com/rss.xml';
$secondary_feed_link = 'http://www.connect2mason.com/';
$secondary_feed_title = 'Connect2Mason';
$secondary_feed_description = 'The latest top stories from Connect2Mason';

(lines 31 through 38)

I uploaded the file, but it doesn't seem to have done anything. Does this plugin work with 2.7.1 or am I doing something wrong?

The feeds only get updated on the blog created after the plugin is installed. The reasoning because the feed urls are stored in the options db for the blog and don't pass these filters after that.

It's mentioned that you can go through and manually (or with a script) delete or change the urls for the previously blogs.

hi. we've configured and uploaded the dashboard feeds plugin but it won't show our in-domain feeds. this is the error we get:
RSS Error: WP HTTP Error: couldn't connect to host

we can view these same feeds if we go directly to the feeds url. it's only when they're inputted in the dashboard that they no longer work.

pls help. thanks!
