 * Dear Pascal,
 * I’ve tried several times to install today and always get this error:
 * > Das Plugin kann nicht aktiviert werden, da es einen fatalen Fehler erzeugt.
   > Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init() in /var/www/wp-content/
   > plugins/iq-block-country/libs/blockcountry-settings.php on line 1491
 * Any idea what to do please?

 * Hi,
 * It seems your PHP version does not support Curl. So you can contact your web 
   hosting provider.
 * If you’re comfortable editing the files you could delete the check that needs
   curl.
 * I will alter the plugin so it checks first if curl is available as my assumption
   as that most web hosting companies would support curl 🙂 My bad

 * Oh wow, thank you very much – Maybe self Hosting is not my profession if I don’t
   remark this!

 * Great, will try soon.

 * Okay, if you added cURL to your PHP then installing this plugin should work anyway
