 * Hi,
    Install went fine, then I started configuring the Pie Register Settings …
   enabled ‘prevent fake emails’, allowed ‘new registrations to use previous used
   email’, enabled First and Last Name additional fields, and changed the default
   year to 2013, saved … an error message appeared at top of Dashboard page:
 * Warning: stripslashes() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /home/
   smootnet/public_html/protos/sgnet/wp-content/plugins/pie-register/pie-register.
   php on line 345
 * Undaunted, I then chose a custom logo from my Media Library, field populates,
   image appears, Save again … message on Dashboard goes away! Cool …
 * I then go to check login page from a different browser, and a different error
   message appears:
 * Warning: getimagesize([http://protos.smoothgrind.net/sgnet/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/sg_logo.png](http://protos.smoothgrind.net/sgnet/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/sg_logo.png))[
   function.getimagesize]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 
   503 Service Temporarily Unavailable in /home/smootnet/public_html/protos/sgnet/
   wp-content/plugins/pie-register/pie-register.php on line 1820
 * Anyone know how to clean this up? Did a search and found some references to tweaking
   the php, but ’tis not my forté … assistance is grandly appreciated (else, no 
   go for this plugin; same thing happens with Register Plus Redux).
 * Thanks,
    Bob

 * I hate to tell you this so long after the fact, but you filed this report against
   the wrong plugin. I’ve tagged pie-register, but if you still care to get this
   resolved you might want to open a fresh ticket against Pie Register.

 * Heh, thanks radiok! I think I encountered a similar message with redux and found
   their support a bit more helpful than Pie’s. But I’m good now (using a workaround,
   no time to t/s), so this can be closed. Unsubscribed.
