I’ve been using Digg Digg plugin for quite some time and found it very useful. It allows one click submission to various social media.

Today, out of nowehere, I start seeing the following error on one of my blogs.

Warning: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /wp-content/plugins/digg-digg/dd.class.php on line 693

Warning: file_get_contents(http://feeds.delicious.com/v2/json/urlinfo/data?url=.. [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in ../wp-content/plugins/digg-digg/dd.class.php on line 693

This blog is hosted on 1&1 web hosting.

Digg Digg plugin works fine on rest of my hosts which are hosted on dedicated servers, Bluehost, Hostgator etc.

It was quite strange.

The error clearly says that Host doesn’t allow remote connection? Weired.

Which means fopen is not turned on? That is certainly not the case as I’ve been using 1&1 since ages and in many other plugins and applications fopen works.

Next solution was to turn on allow_url_fopen in php.ini

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

Which is already On.

So what could be the problem now?
