 * In my theme when I try to upload a thumbnail, it never fully uploads. I think
   there is an error, cause this is what it gives me instead. How do I fix this?
 * Warning: realpath() [function.realpath]: open_basedir restriction in effect.

   lib/php:/tmp) in /home/a7543837/public_html/wp-content/themes/grizzly-theme/base/
