[Plugin: WordPress Tweeter] 0.8.2 upgrade broke my connection to twitter

I will say before I start that WordPress Tweeter has worked for me forever so I know it will work on my install.

I updated to version 0.8.2 today and after the update I decided to change the shortner I was using from Bit.ly to is.gd due to issues some sites have with the bit.ly links.

I deleted the bit.ly username and api key, switched the shortner, then clicked on update settings.

Then I got this error showing the plugin setting page(I removed my directory info):

‘Warning: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: https:// wrapper is disabled in the server configuration by allow_url_fopen=0 in /xxxxx/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-tweeter/wptweeter.php on line 196’

‘Warning: file_get_contents(https://lab.sliceone.com/29308/request-token?oauth_callback=https://www.reviewgeek.net/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=wptweeter.php) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /xxxx/html/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-tweeter/wptweeter.php on line 196’

‘Warning: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: https:// wrapper is disabled in the server configuration by allow_url_fopen=0 in /xxxxx/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-tweeter/wptweeter.php on line 196’

‘Warning: file_get_contents(https://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token?) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /xxxxx/html/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-tweeter/wptweeter.php on line 196’

I am hosted on Media Temple and again before the update the plugin worked fine.

I tried removing the settings and deactivating/reactivating but still got the same error.

So I removed the plugin and installed the previous version 0.8.1. The error above went away but when I tried to sign back in to Twitter from the settings page I got the following echoed back on a blank page (I removed the token numbers to display it here):

‘Array ( [oauth_token] => xxxx [oauth_token_secret] => xxxx [user_id] => xxxx [screen_name] => reviewgeek ) 1’

So I am stuck. Any other steps I can do to fix this. I really don’t want to switch to another plugin.
