  • Hi Coral,

    That looks to be an issue with your webserver’s configuration.

    The third warning is normal when there is an error condition that outputs warnings to the browser. The second looks to be caused by the first.

    If you have access to your webserver’s ‘php.ini’ file, you can add a line with this content: “allow_url_fopen = On” (without the quotes), and see if that cures it.

    If you do not have access to the php.ini file, you can ask your webhost to turn that PHP option on for you.

    If none of those two solutions are options for you, you will just have to wait until the plugin author can code up a work-around for these types of situations.

    I hope that helps.

    Thanks Terry – this particular domain is hosted on MT … since they have a huge wp customer base it seems they feel the default allow_url_fopen should be off for some reason …. presumably better security … if this is so(better to be off) it would behoove the plugin designer to consider a workaround … that said, if it’s safe to do so, I can change the setting on MT via a php.ini add-on modification file they provide …. but I tend to want to stick with the default …
    thks once again for the insight
