A lot of hosts disable the "allow_url_fopen" function because it enables a big security risk: http://phpsec.org/projects/phpsecinfo/tests/allow_url_fopen.html

Hi Justin, thanks for a quick reply!

Well, I'm setting up a site for the PTA of my kids school, the site needs to be hosted on the same server as the public school's, it's complicated, but a switch of hosts is a no-no at the moment...

I solved the problem in a quick-and-dirty fashion by creating a logo on a background the same height as the "header_tile.png" and 3000px wide (to cover most monitors), then I uploaded this graphic as the "header_tile.png", works for now.

Thanks again!

Magnus

Hi Magnus,

Thanks for the kind words :) I don't think there's anything we can do to get around your hosting vendor. Any reason why you wouldn't want to switch hosts? This sounds a bit crazy! There are plenty of better hosts we can suggest...

Thanks,
Justin

Hi Molitor!

I have to say that I love the University theme, it's just right for what I'm working on right now!
However, the hosting provider for the site I'm building will not turn on the "allow_url_fopen" function, for security reasons, and they won't budge.

Is there a workaround tp get the logo in place? We're sort of committed to the University theme now and I have to find a solution pretty quickly now.

I'm grateful for any help you can offer!

Magnus / Sweden
