[Plugin: Add Link to Facebook] cURL communication error 7 couldn't connect to host

Please contact me by replying to the confirmation e-mail of the Pro version.

Same error! Me too! Why we are contacting with you of the Pro version. I think you’re doing extra so. Because you want to make a money! Poor!

Not every person in the world is bad.

Please contact me by replying to the confirmation e-mail of the Pro version and I will try to help you.

Common cURL errors are documented in the FAQ.

I am getting the same error since I have Activated this plugin too.

I have used this plug in for a long time. It is now not working right since the new updates. It is constant cURL errors and timing out. Not just your plug in but the Simple fB plug in from FB also. I need this plug in but the timing out posts are killing me.

See the comment above your comment.

Marcel I read everything there is something going on. This is happening on multiple websites I own not just 1. This needs to be fixed and I believe it is either a WordPress issue or Facebook but we need a route around it. I would pay $100 at this point for a fix instead of reading you dismissing this over and over. What good is the pro version when it does not work?

I cannot fix cURL errors, since these are infrastructure related, not software related. You’ll need the support of your hosting provider for this.

I called my Hosting service first well before I contacted you. There is no issue on their end. As I said I have many sites and many hosting providers. So what you are saying is the 3 different hosting providers I use is causing the same issue on all 13 sites? I really doubt that is possible. If this gets fixed let me know until then I have to deactivate this plug in on all my sites because it is also causing my sites to CRAWL.

I have had more than the usual cURL error reports. I guess Facebook has had a serious outage. Hopefully Facebook didn’t block IP addresses (of your hosting server). Above is also reported that the Simple FB connect plugin has the same problem.

Try to update posts with errors. The plugin will try to add links again and remove errors if it succeeds. For import errors: just wait until the plugin imports again and if it succeeds it will remove the errors. Else see the FAQ about clearing errors.

If your site is slow: try enabling the options ‘Copy comments from Facebook to WordPress’ and ‘Refresh Facebook comments in the background’.

Thanks for the the feedback. It is I assume a Facebook issue. I doubt they could or would block all major hosting servers. As to updating the posts I have tried for hours to no avail. Hopefully this will fix itself soon. I can still simply share to facebook but as you know, and I Assume why you created this plug in, it is much easier to post and go. Again ty for the time to respond.

I contacted my host which is godaddy tech support.. They are dumber than a brick of rocks… Talked to them about the cURl error. I finally got this plugin to work like it use to. I had 5 cURL errors at the top of the admin page. I simply went to each post and on the right side click remove link from facebook and clean up errors. This worked so I reposted the article and now NO cURL errors.
Seem to be working on my world so far.. but that only been 10 mins ago..
