   I tried to install the Event Calendar for my blog with Wordprss 2.5.1.

   But it seems that something is wrong in somewhere. So Can you help me resolve it? Thank a lot.

   The folloing information is the wrong notice :

   Warning: file_get_contents(): URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /home/content/c/h/i/chinatownlw/html/lwireless/wp-content/plugins/events-calendar/ec_calendar.class.php on line 42

   Warning: file_get_contents(http://www.livingwireless.ca/wp-content/themes/ProSense/style.css): failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /home/content/c/h/i/chinatownlw/html/lwireless/wp-content/plugins/events-calendar/ec_calendar.class.php on line 42

   gatineau,

   It sounds like your host has file_get_contents turned off. Maybe for security reasons.

   You can ask your host or you can install the wp-serverinfo plugin and check for yourself.

   You could check and see if your host has cURL installed and turned on.

   hey. I've got same problem - and it's all clear that's my hosting problem. However:
   1) I had earlier version of that and there was no problem
   2) what about .htaccess or something ?

   I had the same Warning: file_get_contents(): problem and how now resolved it using CURL instead. I don't really know what CURL is, but this worked for me. This might not work on your host, but worth a try if you're in limbo.

   Open ec_calendar.class.php
   On line 42 comment out the file_get_contents bit like so:
   //$ecData = file_get_contents($ecFile);

   and underneath it put:
   

   $ch = curl_init();
   $timeout = 5; // set to zero for no timeout
   curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $ecFile);
   curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
   curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $timeout);
   $ecData = curl_exec($ch);
   curl_close($ch);

   That's all.
   Hope that helps someone.

   Ian, thanks a lot man. I had the same problem and your solution really helped. After that it was like I never had that problem.

    I tried this but it didn't help. I still get the error:

    Warning: file_get_contents(): URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /home/domains/thegildedpen.com/web/wp-content/plugins/events-calendar/ec_calendar.class.php on line 42
    
    Warning: file_get_contents(http://thegildedpen.com/wp-content/themes/gilded1/style.css): failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /home/domains/thegildedpen.com/web/wp-content/plugins/events-calendar/ec_calendar.class.php on line 42

    Anybody else have a suggestion?

    If you have tried ian72's fix and it didn't work, check to make sure that your host has cUrl turned on.

    If not, you might want to ask your host why these are turned off.
