They wont change so I’ll have to from my end * Help please. * Plugin Author [Marcus (aka @msykes)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/netweblogic/) * (@netweblogic) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-events-manager-php-errors-after-installing-406/#post-2107863) * we use relative links, which work on most servers as youre the first to request this. i recommend changing hosts as that sounds dodgy * Thread Starter [gaidin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gaidin/) * (@gaidin) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-events-manager-php-errors-after-installing-406/#post-2107891) * well right now I cant change host, can you suggest temporary changes i can make either to function.php or your plugin that might resolve this issue?
