Be aware that if the plugin is probably using the “fopen” call to open the local file for reading and more and more hosts are disabling the ability of using “fopen” on remote files.

So this plugin, when modified to read a remote file, might mysteriously fail to load the file. All’s not lost though, in addition to making the change of reading a remote file, the plugin will have to use CURL to get access to the file which should work.

I’ve tried that plugin and it is for Authors to rate their own posts as opposed to visitors to rate posts.

Most people usually deploy a second installation of wordpress under a subdomain or a subfolder only known to you that you can play around with and whatever works, you can integrate into your regular blog.

This allows you to re-install it without having to worry about saving any information.

Please run a quick test to see if indeed fopen has been disabled, they should not disabled fopens on local file system. That’s very lame.


<?php
$fd = fopen("file.txt", "r");
$contents = fread($fd, filesize("file.txt"));
fclose($fd);
echo $contents;
?>


Save this code in “test.php” and create a file called “file.txt” with a simple string. Run this “test.php” to see if it is happy. If it fails, then you should talk to your hosting provider. If it works, let’s debug this issue further.

Does the directory exist? You were most probably supposed to create the directory for the plugin to use to store cached information.

If the intention of the site is to provide a Forum type atomosphere, why are you not looking into one of the many Forum software available, phpBB, InvisionBoard, and so on that allow you to restrict access without being first logged in and so on?

Why make WordPress, a blogging software, a forum?
