If your site displays message of something like: "Warning: fopen() [function.fopen]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in", that's because we've disabled allow_url_fopen() on the server. Many paid hosts do this also for security reasons.

There is no solution to this as you also can't get it activated per-account via .htaccess file. So you'll have to find a substitute script or module that doesn't use fopen.
