    Hello..
    Can anyone please suggest a permanent fix for the following..
    on my cup of coffee WP blog http://cupofcoffee.ralphjramirez.com/
    , theres a few links such as CLICK HERE that always brings up a warning see
    I received a response thru another help site and said that it appears to be an "external links plug-in problem.. if so, how do I fix..?
    Can anyone please help..I,m trying to launch my new coffee site but this nagging issue will not help my cause..

    I dont know what this is but after clicking the CLICK HERE link, on the very upper right hand top of the page theres a transparent message and 2 little boxes one says SHARE the other says CLOSE..
    when I click CLOSE then the page becomes normal..strange..

    I then went to the Theme editor but I could not see any LINE 84 and if did see it, I would not know what to do anyway..I was hoping to seek help to correct this..

    My only thought at this time is to replace the theme but I dont know if that would fix this problem or not..
    I also upgraded my blog version 2.8.1 to version 2.8.4 with the update link on my dashboard..
    but the problem is still there..
    Hope someone can help..

    Thanks a bunch..

    Drop the plugin and use this one instead.
    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/page-links-to/

    The clue is in the message above though..

    wordpress/wp-content/plugins/wp-external-links-bar/

    Or in this part..

    URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration

    It's very clear on what the problem is..
