You can tell your host to get this installed. Details are here: [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10693771/cakephp-class-domdocument-not-found](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10693771/cakephp-class-domdocument-not-found) * In the meantime we’re working on an alternative for you and will get an update for it as soon as possible. * [jwheck](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jwheck/) * (@jwheck) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/facebook-comments-language-errors/#post-3165837) * Since my webhost will not install phpxml in the name of security, I made a workaround by downloading [http://www.facebook.com/translations/FacebookLocales.xml](http://www.facebook.com/translations/FacebookLocales.xml) and copying the file the the facebook-comments-plugin folder on my server. * Then I edited the code in class-admin.php starting at line 194: * ``` $blog_url = get_bloginfo('wpurl'); // get blog URL (ex: http://mywebsite.com) $plugin_url = plugin_dir_url(__FILE__); // get plug-in URL (ex: http://mywebsite.com/wp-content/plugins/facebook-comments-plugin/ ) $plugin_url = str_replace($blog_url, '..', $plugin_url); // strip out blog URL so load command will look for local file $dom_object->load($plugin_url."FacebookLocales.xml"); // load local file ``` * Another (and IMHO, better) option would to use cURL (which my webhost does allow) for loading external files. First add the following function: * ``` /* * curl_get() to perform curl call to get external file and return as string * Copied from http://php.net/manual/en/function.curl-exec.php#98628 */ function curl_get($url, array $get = NULL, array $options = array()) { // added line below to handle http_build_query() warning if (!empty($get)) $httpbuildquery = http_build_query($get); $defaults = array( CURLOPT_URL => $url. (strpos($url, '?') === FALSE ? '?' : ''). $httpbuildquery, CURLOPT_HEADER => 0, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => TRUE, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 4 ); $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt_array($ch, ($options + $defaults)); if( ! $result = curl_exec($ch)) { trigger_error(curl_error($ch)); } curl_close($ch); return $result; } ``` * Next change line 198 from `$dom_object->load("http://www.facebook.com/translations/ FacebookLocales.xml");` to * ``` $FacebookLocalesXML = curl_get("http://www.facebook.com/translations/FacebookLocales.xml"); $dom_object->loadXML($FacebookLocalesXML); ``` * [belgianwolfie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/belgianwolfie/) * (@belgianwolfie) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/facebook-comments-language-errors/#post-3165848) * [@jwheck](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jwheck/) thanks for 1) solving the issue (I had the same issue) thanks for 2) coming back here, posting and sharing your (working) solution. * above solution should (obviously) be added to facebook-comments-plugin/class- admin.php * [m_disseny](https://wordpress.org/support/users/m_disseny/) * (@m_disseny) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/facebook-comments-language-errors/#post-3165854) * Same issue here, cURL fix worked for me. * Thanks a lot for sharing this [@jwheck](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jwheck/)!
