Hey Jeff, need to pick your security expert brain a bit. Installed Dashboard Widgets Suite a few days ago because I needed some dashboard notes, yesterday I discovered the System Info tab, Cool! Last night, under Security I seen “allow_url_fopen: Enabled” highlighted RED … Looked into it and ended up creating myself a php.ini file and added allow_url_fopen=off Dashboard Widgets Suite still shows allow_url_fopen: Enabled RED as a warning. Am I doing something wrong here? Hey glad to help. The plugin uses the standard PHP function ini_get() to return the value of allow_url_fopen . According to the documentation , ini_get() understands directives included via php.ini . So it sounds like your server may not be set up to process local php.ini files. Best advice would be to ask your host about it, they will know best about what works, etc. Here is the last two line of a host support chat. MYSELF: Is Siteground server set up to process local php.ini files? Is what a plugin dev is having me ask. SUPPORT.: Absolutely! All SiteGround servers can work with php,ini files and you can change the PHP variables using it. You may also refer to our official page on the matter here. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Now understanding a bit more what allow_url_fopen: Enabled was about. As I humbly admit my WP Speed addiction, I’ll be reading more into “Ultrafast PHP vs Standard PHP” As always a pleasure, thanks and best wishes with Plugin Planet! Thank you @shirtguy72 , glad you got it sorted. Let me know if I may provide any further infos, glad to help anytime.
