Title: Error message Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Error message * [AmberEM](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amberem/) * (@amberem) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-message-218/) * Hello there, * I thought your plugin might be the answer for one of my clients, however when I tried it out in sidebar, an error message displayed in the sidebar, with the image displayed below it. Here is a screenshot of the message: * [http://www.atlas500000.co.uk/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/resp-img-error-msg.jpg](http://www.atlas500000.co.uk/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/resp-img-error-msg.jpg) * The only data I entered into the widget was the image URL (i.e. no title or anything else). Could this have caused any issues? I am using a child theme of the Responsive theme. I inserted the widget into the sidebar of the [inner part of the site](http://www.atlas500000.co.uk/accounts/)( not the homepage). * Thank you so much, * Amber * [http://wordpress.org/plugins/responsive-image-widget/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/responsive-image-widget/) Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * [pillboxhunter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pillboxhunter/) * (@pillboxhunter) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-message-218/#post-3962852) * I am having this as well.

Try what they suggest at that link above: * > Basically, you just create a text file with a filename of “php.ini” and save > it in the main directory of your WordPress install. And its content should > have the following: > allow_url_fopen = ON * So, make a text file in notepad, put that single line and save it as php.ini, then put it in your WordPress install folder (probably httpdocs or public_html). * Plugin Author [benarobinson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/benarobinson/) * (@benarobinson) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-message-218/#post-3962888) * PS: The solution above is a workaround that will probably work, but I’ll try to get a better solution built into the plugin in future updates. * Plugin Author [benarobinson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/benarobinson/) * (@benarobinson) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-message-218/#post-3962905) * Also, I think this issue may be solved by using local rather than remote files. * In other words, you should upload your file to your own media library rather than using a file hosted by someone else (in the case that your server gives you this error.) * Again, I will post an update in the future which will avoid reliance on this function, but the best practice is always to use a local rather a remote file for other reasons too — a remote file hosted by someone else might be taken down! * [RustyWood](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rustywood/) * (@rustywood) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-message-218/#post-3962924) * Hi I’m getting the same error, it was working perfectly fine yesterday!

Did you change images at all before the message? Let me know on those two things. * I believe that the issue is caused by the permissions at a server level regarding the execution of the getimagesize() function in PHP, so it could be something that your host changed recently. Who is your host? * Let me know and I’ll see if I can track it down and give you another workaround, I think I may need to use CURL to convert remove URLs to local ones to fix this in the next update. * You can email me personally at [ben@keokee.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-message-218/ben@keokee.com?output_format=md) with your URL and I might be able to look at it more directly — I realize you may not want to share that with the general public yet.
