Well, the quick answer is..you can’t! I found this out the hard way after creating a test post in my Worpress blog and then deleting it. If you display your RSS feeds using MagpieRSS (or any other display box), this can be a real problem!! The problem being that it will break the RSS display box!!
To avoid this in the future, here are the only 2 options I can think of:
1. MODIFY the post instead of deleting it. You can always just modify the post to read “post removed”. Just make sure to keep the ID and stuff in tact. More than likely, you already deleted the post and found your way to this one.
2. Create a new blog entry. Once I created a new entry, the display box was fixed! You might need to create enough entries beyond the displayed number in the box. For example, my display box has 3 entries at all times. You might need to create 3 or more new entries to fix the display box (depends how many you display).
