Hi,
I’ve got the follwoing error message:
Warning: curl_setopt() [function.curl-setopt]: CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot be activated when in safe_mode or an open_basedir is set in /www/htdocs/w00aa2aa/hokuwo.de/wp-content/plugins/deviantart-widgets/libraries/Feed.php on line 26
what I have done wrong?
Thanks for your feedback !
I have opened issue #1 on github for you.
This plugin may not work in safe_mode because of some limitations applied to my feed reader library. I’ll check this out and please feel free to follow evolutions on github.
