 * Fatal error: Call to undefined function exif_imagetype() in xxx-path\wp-content\
   plugins\content-progress\content-progress.php on line 481
    Using WP 3.5.1 Php
   5.4.11
 * Hi,
 * I like your plugin but I am getting the above fatal error under the “Additional
   included icons’ Information in admin.
 * I looked up the error and I am seeing a lot of issues with using exif_imagetype
   overall. The suggestion I have seen is to use “getimagesize” instead as it does
   return the TYPE very good according to what I read.
 * Just a suggestion. Since EXIF extension has to be installed in php.ini for it
   to word and some servers don’t.
 * However, I also see that there is no function defined for exif_imagetype in your
   file.
 * [edit]
 * For me, I just changed the exif_imagetype with getimagesize and the rest of the
   page shows up now, the get support section. I hope that corrected the issue and
   didn’t just hide it..

 * Thanks for noting this. I’ll include a fallback function for this situation. 
   I’ve done that with my other plug-ins, but missed it on this one.
