 * Hello there !
 * I have some trouble that I cannot seem to fix … I wonder if this has to do with
   some Open Graph misconfiguration, or something, being a bit newbish to this.
 * Here’s the error appearing above the stickers whenever I try to display those:
 * Warning: file_get_contents([http://graph.facebook.com/StudioNoirFluo](http://graph.facebook.com/StudioNoirFluo))[
   function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/
   1.0 403 Forbidden in /homez.727/studionod/www/wp-content/plugins/social-stickers/
   social-stickers.php on line 844
 * It also appears in the Social Stickers option menu.
    Any thoughts of what might
   cause this, or how to fix it ?
 * Thanks in advance, and thanks a lot for the plugin ; minus that little error (
   which probably is my fault :p ), it’s really sweet and easy to use.

 * So, after digging a bit, it appears that it can come from 2 main problems : the
   number of requests made to the server with my IP (which could explain why it 
   works sometimes 1 or 2 times and then gets me an error), or the configuration
   of my hosting.
 * I found that using CURL instead of file_get_contents could do the trick, too,
   but I don’t know how to handle that myself, so that’ll require more digging and
   headscratching.
 * For those who read and might be interested (since it seems to be a frequent error,
   considering the number of questions on Stack Overflow) : stay tuned.
    (oh, and
   merry Christmas, too ! :p )

 * This is probably a hosting error from your end or something simillar. I’ll add
   a cURL reading option a bit later.
 * Merry christmas to you too!
 * Cheers.
