php function allow_url_fopen – enable or disable?

  • To use the plugin “GEO My WordPress” does the php function allow_url_fopen need to be enabled or does curl_exec or curl_multi_exec need to be enabled?

    For security purposes it’s mandatory to disable these functions. Yet, some plugins that access the google maps and geocode apis use them.

    Thanks,
    Steve

    Hi stevo,
    Sorry for the delay.
    The plugin does not require url_fopen but it might require curl_exec.
    In earliest version it used curl to geocode the address using Google API. However, In the later version I switched most/all functions to geocode using JavaScript.

    I believe that you should ok to use the plugin.

    Give it a shot
