 * Hi,
 * I just tried to install Onswipe and got the following error:
 * Warning: is_writable() [function.is-writable]: open_basedir restriction in effect.
   File(/tmp) is not within the allowed path(s): (/var/www/web636/html/:/var/www/
   web636/phptmp/:/var/www/web636/files/:/var/www/web636/atd/:/usr/share/php/) in/
   var/www/web636/html/nailpics/wp-content/plugins/onswipe/presscore/bootstrap.php
   on line 36
 * Any suggestions would be appreciated.
 * Thanks

 * The same for me.
 * From what I can tell from further up in the forum, you have to deactivate several
   plugins to make Onswipe work.

 * +1
 * it’s because onswipe does not respect vhost-settings, where /tmp is not globally
   accessible, but only per user-tempdirs.
 * to avoid the message comment out lines 39 – 41 in file /wp-content/plugins/onswipe/
   presscore/bootstrap.php
 * A better fix for this by the author of course would be more appreciated.
