 * I have a problem when opening FB share statistics:
    I get this:
 *     ```
       Warning: simplexml_load_file() [function.simplexml-load-file]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /homepages/***/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/facebook-share-statistics/facebook-share-statistics.php on line 110

       ```
   
 * I’ve tried to make a php.ini file with:
 *     ```
       allow_url_fopen=on
       allow_url_include=on
       ```
   
 * But still not working. There is any advice or solution to solve this?
 * Thank you in advance

 * I answer myself. I’ve tried to modify a little bit the plugin to make it work
   in my hosting (1and1).
 * The url request was made using **simplexml_load_file**, but I don’t know why 
   it’s not working in my site. To avoid this problem, the only thing necessary 
   is change the line 110 of the plugin:
 * `$xml = simplexml_load_file( 'http://api.facebook.com/restserver.php?method=links.
   getStats&urls=' . $sUrls );`
 * by
 *     ```
       $juliUrl = 'http://api.facebook.com/restserver.php?method=links.getStats&urls=' . $sUrls ;
       		$ch = curl_init();
       		curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $juliUrl);
       		curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
       		curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
       		$xml = curl_exec($ch);
       		curl_close($ch);
       		$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($xml);
       ```
   
 * With this it works in my site 🙂
