[wp-hackers] help understanding wp_remote_get function and fatal WP_Error

[Paul Menard]

Try dumping the $resp after the call to wp_remote_get()

Add this line before the IF

echo "resp<pre>". print_r($resp, true) ."</pre>";

See what the full WP_Error reads. You should always check the return value before just processing. 

My thoughts anyway.
