Same Errors Even After Upgrade

[Guest]

I am using IE8 and Flash9. My visitors are experiencing the same errors. How can I fix this?

Warning: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in D:\Hosting\3822190\html\wordpress2\wp-content\plugins\featurific-for-wordpress\featurific.php on line 1974

Hi Guest,

This page might shed some light:

http://featurific.com/support/thread-64.html

Your particular situation is a little different. You'll notice in the error messages, that it says that "URL file-access is disabled". This essentially means that Featurific can't access other web pages via the internet. So, if you're using images in your posts that should appear within Featurific, they can't be downloaded and this error is generated. There are, generally, two solutions to this:

1. Get your system administrator to enable URL file access on the server.
2. Copy the remote images and serve them locally. In other words, in your posts, instead of referencing "http://counters.gigya.com/wildfire...", serve those images from your wordpress installation. Save the images in question to your local desktop, then, while editing the post in wordpress, use the upload functionality to upload the images. Since they are being served locally instead of remotely with this method, Featurific should be able to access the images and the error message will go away.

Good luck, and have a great day!

When I add a post on the blog, I upload the image into the post from my PC. Is that what you mean in #2?
Also, this error page does not happen each time.

The Featurific code is on the sidebar. Does that make a difference?

<?php global $options, $sectprefix; ?>

<?php if( $options['showauthors'] == 1 ) : ?>

<fieldset class='sidebarlist'>
<legend><?php print $sectprefix; ?>Authors</legend>
<ul>
<?php wp_list_authors("optioncount=0&exclude_admin=0&feed=1&feed_image=" .
get_bloginfo('template_url').
"/images/rss-icon.gif"); ?>
</ul>
</fieldset>

<?php endif; ?>

<?php
//Code automatically inserted by Featurific for Wordpress plugin
if(is_home()) //If we're generating the home page (remove this line to make Featurific appear on all pages)...
if(function_exists('insert_featurific')) //If the Featurific plugin is activated...
insert_featurific(); //Insert the HTML code to embed Featurific
?>

<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?>

<fieldset class='sidebarlist'>
<legend><?php print $sectprefix; ?>Categories</legend>
<ul>
<?php wp_list_categories('title_li=&hierarchical=0'); ?>
</ul>
</fieldset>

<fieldset class='sidebarlist'>
<legend><?php print $sectprefix; ?>Archives</legend>
<ul>
<?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly'); ?>
</ul>
</fieldset>

<?php endif; ?>

Hi Guest,

It shouldn't make a difference that the code is in your side bar. And yes, you're correct in #2 I meant that you should "upload the image into the post from [your] PC". Using this approach, the images will be served from the same server from which the Featurific .swf file is loaded, thereby eliminating the need to use URL access to cache the files locally.

Happy blogging!

The images were uploaded into each post. They are on the same server.

Hi again, guest,

Are you still having problems? If so, can you point me to a specific URL where you have Featurific posted so I can check it out?

Have a great day!
