 * Hi there,
 * I’m trying to use a plugin that puts a Facebook like button on all posts.
 * When I activate the plugin it comes up with this error:
 * Warning: curl_setopt() [function.curl-setopt]: CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot 
   be activated when in safe_mode or an open_basedir is set in /home/rjtonlin/public_html/
   wp/wp-content/plugins/facebook-like-button/inc/get_key.php on line 12
 * Warning: curl_setopt() [function.curl-setopt]: CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot 
   be activated when in safe_mode or an open_basedir is set in /home/rjtonlin/public_html/
   wp/wp-content/plugins/facebook-like-button/inc/get_key.php on line 13
 * Any idea why this would be, or how to fix it?

 * Replace both troubled lines 12/13 with
 * $ch = curl_init();
    if(!ini_get(‘safe_mode’) && !ini_get(“open_basedir”)) { curl_setopt(
   $ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true); }
