 * Your plugin looks very popular and I want to use it on my website as well.
 * However, my hosting company disables all exec() / exec.php or url_fopen functions.
   The hosting company supports CURL as an alternative to url_fopen.
    I did not 
   find any answer from the forum. Do you mind telling me if your plugin uses exec()/
   exec.php or url_fopen functions or CURL?
 * Thank you for support!

 * This plugin uses neither.
 * In general, you should try plugins first, as there’s no need to ask plugin authors
   such questions.
    If the plugin doesn’t work on your system, you’ll find out when
   you activate it.
