 * Hi,
 * We ran into an issue with curl_multi_exec() disabled on our client’s server which
   prevents the plugin from working. Is there any way around this or could you provide
   an option/implementation to not use this function when it’s disabled on the server?
 * Best,
    Brian

 * Hey Brian,
    Sorry for the troubles! Unfortunately, we do not have an alternative
   method at this point in time. We use curl_multi_exec() to combine a bunch of 
   calls into one call to the social networks. We used to have it only using a single
   call for each call made but page load times were up to a minute due to the slow
   response times of most of these social network’s API’s.
 * Wish I had better news for you!
 * To resolve the issue I would contact the hosting provider and have them switch
   it on for you.
 * Thanks for your interest in our plugin,
    Justin Labadie

 * Hey Justin,
 * Ok, I figured as much. Thanks.
 * Unfortunately their hosting provider doesn’t allow turning it on for security
   reasons so we can’t use it.
 * Thanks,
    Brian
