Title: [Plugin: WP Supersized] PHP error "open_basedir restriction" Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # [Plugin: WP Supersized] PHP error "open_basedir restriction" * [Tim Beam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tim-beam/) * (@tim-beam) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-supersized-php-error-open_basedir-restriction/) * In the admin menu under “Slides sources” I get multiple of the following errors for different files and folders: Warning: is_dir() [function.is-dir]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/www/htdocs/abc/…/wp-content/galerien/index.php/) is not within the allowed path(s): (/www/htdocs/abc/:/tmp:/usr/bin:/www/htdocs/ abc:/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/share/php) in /www/htdocs/abc/…/wp-content/plugins/ wp-supersized/includes/WPSupersized.php on line 1515 * All errors ends with line 1515: if(is_dir($directory_base_path . $filename .“/”)){ * The error is also in the post/page edit screens under “Select your custom directory. Click on folder name to show contained folders.” * Any idea? I cannot choose the custom directory and use /wp-content/supersized- slides/ (Nevertheless, the plugin works) * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-supersized/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-supersized/) Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * [chieldeno](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chieldeno/) * (@chieldeno) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-supersized-php-error-open_basedir-restriction/#post-2800986) * I have the same error. At the WP Supersized options page, selected the tab ‘Slides source’, there is this gigantic list of errors. Looked everywhere on the internet, but I can’t find a solution. * It’s a pretty annoying error list, since it’s that long! * Anybody with a solution? * Warning: is_dir() [function.is-dir]: open_basedir restriction in effect.

Hence the developer of the plugin have maybe no idea!
