Title: Error when posting comments Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Error when posting comments * Resolved [spamb0t](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spamb0t/) * (@spamb0t) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-posting-comments-3/) * I noticed today that every time someone posts a comment they end up on a white page with some error messages that say; * Warning: curl_setopt(): CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot be activated when safe_mode is enabled or an open_basedir is set in /customers/0/7/1/kulturskurkarna.se/httpd. www/players/wp-content/plugins/ip-blacklist-cloud/ip_blacklist_cloud.php on line 1765 Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /customers/0/7/1/kulturskurkarna.se/httpd.www/players/wp-content/plugins/ ip-blacklist-cloud/ip_blacklist_cloud.php:1765) in /customers/0/7/1/kulturskurkarna. se/httpd.www/players/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 876 * The comment is still being posted, but I don’t really want it looking like that. Anyone know what the problem is? I really want to keep using IP Blacklist to block some crawler traffic and to keep better track of real people visiting the site. Spam is not an issue (yet) because of captcha protection however. Any solution? * Here’s the URL for the site, it’s currently using the theme Noteworthy.

That at least solved the issue, but I’m not exactly sure what the other problems may arise if I do that. * Thread Starter [spamb0t](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spamb0t/) * (@spamb0t) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-posting-comments-3/#post-3414656) * But I turned the option off and it solved the problem, like you said.
