 * When I check the **External HTTPS Elements** box I get the following message:
 * External HTTPS Elements – PHP configuration error: allow_url_fopen must be enabled.
 * My server, and after much research most servers won’t do this.
 * I was recommended to use cURL a sit is more secure.
 * Any chance of this happening?
