 * I have been happily using instapress for weeks/month (or more) and today I tried
   to update to the latest
 * Here is the error:
    Warning: simplexml_load_file() [function.simplexml-load-file]:
   URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in htdocs/rand/wp-content/
   plugins/instapress/PowerHour_Geocoder/Geocoder.php on line 153
 * Any ideas? My server hasn’t been changed. It is only the update that is different.

 * Hi,
    sorry for the troubles, please update to version 1.2.1 and tell me if the
   issue is still there. Thanks!

 * I’m using 1.2.1 and it seems to crater my sites. I’m not 100% certain yet but
   the two sites I installed the update on seemed to have cratered all the sites
   on my shared server tonight. I’m going through and reactivating all my plugins
   one by one and so far this is the only one that causes everything to come to 
   a halt when activated.
    I’m running the latest version of WordPress – 3.1.3 on
   PHP 5.2 on a shared hosting account with HostGator. I’ll let you know if I find
   any other plugins causing problems.

 * Yeah when I activate the plugin on either of our sites I end up with 500 Internal
   Server Errors.
 * I can’t get back in after that unless I kill the site/process from the server
   itself.

 * Hi,
    is there something like a server log that could help me/us locating the 
   problem? Thanks.
