    WP-o-Matic

    # Last Updated: 2008-7-18
    # Requires WordPress Version: 2.2.1 or higher
    # Compatible up to: 2.6

    Some information to put the error into context.

    At first glance, it looks as though it could be a plugin compatibility issue. You might want to call your host just to make sure that it is not something that they have disabled in PHP.

    can they disable it?

    I have read that some hosts who are super “paranoid” have it turned off. That is why a quick contact with your host to confirm that it is not disabled, may save a lot of time in determining that it actually is a plugin conflict.

    I am no expert, but I believe this is the function in php.ini that allows or disallows it to be used:

    ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
    ; Fopen wrappers ;
    ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

    ; Whether to allow the treatment of URLs (like http:// or ftp://) as files.
    allow_url_fopen = On

    Perhaps someone will let us know if I have identified it incorrectly.

    Hi,
    allow_url_fopen = On is not secured.
    Check with some other parser,it can parse dom/xml with the below settings.
    the php.ini file should be like
    1.DOM/XML enabled
    2.allow_url_fopen Off(Local Value) Off(Master Value)

    Note :
    allow_url_fopen off
