 * Issue, hi I installed the watermarks plugin to automatically watermark, but I
   am getting this error:
 * Warning: exif_imagetype() [function.exif-imagetype]: Read error! in /home/hollywo/
   public_html/blog/wp-content/plugins/watermark/wm_dir.php on line 39
 * I have not modified the plugin-whatsoever and have downloaded it directly from
   the website
 * [http://www.wp-watermark.com/](http://www.wp-watermark.com/)
 * Please advise

 * You’ll need to tell us specifically when you are getting the error… and maybe
   when you don’t get the error if it’s only some of the time. Otherwise it’s hard
   to help.
 * Did you give it a new image it couldn’t understand? Or an invalid reference –
   the image isn’t where it should be?
 * It seems to be complaining about a bitter taste from swallowing an incompatible
   image file (although the plugin should have done some error checking and provided
   a better warning).
 * Does it happen with every image? Or just one?

 * thnx.
    When I click on “Watermark-Dir” the error comes up above. I haven’t modified
   anything so the orignial watermark file is a .png. I haven’t given it anything.
   I just installed the plug-in and that happened.

 * Did you try contacting the plugin author? Or post in one of his support forums
   on that website? It looks like it’s the plugin’s code that is having problems.
   You’re probably more likely to get help from him on his own site.
