 * Hi!
    Does the plugin work under WP new version because the codes are pasted in
   Text Widget and saved but displayed as raw HTML.Below are the codes I tried to
   install in sidebar using Text Widget.
 *  <?php
 * // The following variable defines whether links are opened in a new window
    $
   openInNewWindow = “1”; $linkkey = “9b20845a-17b0-a924-75d4-a1fecc2de2bf”; $url
   = urlencode((($_SERVER[‘HTTPS’]==’on’)?’[https://&#8217](https://&#8217);:’[http://&#8217](http://&#8217);).
   $_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’].$_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’]); $query = “pageurl=”.$url; $query.
   = “&linkkey=” .urlencode($linkkey); $query .= “&newwindow=” .urlencode($openInNewWindow);
   $query .= “&referer=”.urlencode($_SERVER[‘HTTP_REFERER’]);
 * //You can use any other function, which returns content back instead of CURL 
   or readfile()
    if(intval(get_cfg_var(‘allow_url_fopen’)) && function_exists(‘
   readfile’)) { @readfile(“[http://www.backlinks4u.com/getlinksbox.php?&#8221](http://www.backlinks4u.com/getlinksbox.php?&#8221);.
   $query); }elseif(function_exists(‘curl_init’)) { $ch = curl_init (“[http://www.backlinks4u.com/getlinksbox.php?&#8221](http://www.backlinks4u.com/getlinksbox.php?&#8221);.
   $query); curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0); curl_exec ($ch);
 *  if(curl_error($ch))
    print “Error processing request”;
 *  curl_close ($ch);
    } else { print “It appears that your web host has disabled
   all functions for handling remote pages.”; } ?>
 * Kindly let me know what when wrong here.
    Thanks
