 * Hi,
 * I keep getting this error on my site.
 * > Warning: curl_setopt() [function.curl-setopt]: CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot
   > be activated when safe_mode is enabled or an open_basedir is set in /home/……/
   > domains/……./public_html/……./wp-content/plugins/automatic-youtube-video-posts/
   > class/curl.php(272) : eval()’d code on line 1
 * I asked my hoster about it, and they say the plugin very badly written. It also
   states that safe_mode is enabled, but the hoster says they won’t deactivate safe_mode.
 * Does this mean that I will keep getting this error as long as safe_mode is enabled?
   Or is it time for an update of the plugin?
 * I saw a few others in this support-part that had similar problems, funnily enough,
   those threads don’t get any replies…..
