   Hello,

   I have recently installed the WP Link Directory plug-in and it is working great. Well, almost.

   When I fill out the form to submit a link and press "Add Link", I get the error message: "The URL you supplied doesn't seem to be valid."

   I have pinpointed the problem to this code:
   

   // Check URL Exists With fopen
   		$handle1=@fopen($_POST['entry_url'],'r');
   		if($handle1){
   			$url=$wpdb->escape($_POST['entry_url']);
   			fclose($handle1);
   		}else{
   			return $page.__("The URL you supplied doesn't seem to be valid.",$WPLD_Domain);
   		}

   However I am no expert in PHP and am not quite sure how to fix this code. When I comment out the entire block, the submission goes through, but when I go to approve the link, there is no URL attached.

   I've searched for the solution for a while now but cannot find an answer.

   Here is the link to the plugin: http://www.schoolsanddegrees.com/blog/resource-links/

   Go ahead, add a link (or attempt to) and see the problem for yourself.

   Where can I find a fix for this?

   Nevermind,

   It turns out that this is a problem with the server's configuration.

   Jaredaw,

   What do you mean by "server's configuration?" I am having the same issue and can't figure it out.

   Change in php.ini allow_url_fopen=no to allow_url_fopen=yes seems like PHP fopen is not enabled (this normal with secure webservers)

   Curl will work or use the HTTP object from WordPress.
