    Just went to the Catch Responsive Pro theme …a really nice offering.
    The RSS feed correctly shows information, however it does not refresh. Is there a WordPress or theme fix for this? RSS feed is National Weather Service at my site, located in right sidebar:

    Thanks for taking a look….

    @Nonno: That is default RSS Widget from WordPress and we haven’t controlled anything from Theme. It has it’s own refresh rate set by WordPress Core.

    If you want to alter that, then you can create child theme of Catch Responsive Pro theme. You can also download it from http://catchthemes.com/blog/create-child-theme-wordpress/ and then add the following code in your child theme functions.php file. You can also change the refresh rate, the following code has 600 seconds. 

    add_filter( 'wp_feed_cache_transient_lifetime', 
   create_function('$a', 'return 600;') );

    I made suggested changes to functions.php and it seems to have cleared-up the problem. The RSS info text was properly reset.
    Thank you for the quick response …great service!
