Have you updated feedwordpress or wordpress itself?

If you've updated feedwordpress, pay attention to this passage in the README:

Quote:
If you *can* create a crontab on your web host, then the best thing to
do is to create a cron job that will run update-feeds.php through the
PHP command-line interface. For example, if you have WordPress installed
in `~/www/wp` (where ~ is your home directory), you might insert the
following line into your crontab:

25 * * * * cd $HOME/www/wp/wp-content ; php -q update-feeds.php

If you *don't* have access to (a), you can still save the day using
another computer with always-on Internet access that sends a POST
request to the `update-feeds.php` URI on a regular schedule. So, for
example, if you have WordPress installed at <http://www.zyx.com/blog>,
and you have a dummy user in your WordPress database with the login name
'login' and the password 'pass', then you could add the following line
to the crontab on a home Linux box:

25 * * * * curl --user login:pass http://www.zyx.com/blog/wp-content/update-feeds.php -d update=quiet

The `-d update=quiet` switch ensures that (1) `update-feeds.php` will
receive an HTTP POST request rather than an HTTP GET request (which
is important, since it won't take any actions with side-effects -- such
as checking for new posts -- unless it receives an HTTP POST); it also
tells it to suppress the HTML output that it would generate for normal
web browsers, and only to output text if it encounters errors (this will
keep the number of e-mails you receive from the Cron Daemon to a
minimum).

If you are using Windows XP and have a version of curl (such as the
version included in [Cygwin][]), you can create a Scheduled Task to
similar effect.
