 * Could you write a file phpinfo.php on your WordPress server that contains only
   this line:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       <?php phpinfo(); ?>
       ```
   
 * Then please go to the URL [https://your_wordpress_site/phpinfo.php](https://your_wordpress_site/phpinfo.php)
   and check the variable allow_url_fopen.
