plugin writes too many PHP Warnings into error_log

  • Hi,

    recently I checked my wordpress website error_log file i found there is too many PHP Warnings from Easy Liveblogs plugin. I noticed allow_url_fopen=0 , is it safe to enable allow_url_fopen on the server? is other errors related to allow_url_fopen ?

    Hi,

    Using the file_get_contents function should be fine on most servers, unless allow_url_fopen is disabled – which is probably a security motivated decision.

    I will see if in a future update, I can refactor this so that it uses a different method.
