Hi, these are warnings and not errors as such. tidyRSS() is searching for parameters (such as "author") that may or not exist in the feed, if they don't exist, you get this message. I've been meaning to clean it up, will try in a future release. It's something to do with xml2, the usual suppressWarnings() don't work.
