It has came to my attention that some of you are having problems running TubePress.NET on their hosting servers.
If you are getting Warning Messages like this one
Warning: simplexml_load_file() [function.simplexml-load-file]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/wp-content/plugins/tubepress.net/tubepress.php on line 384
Where xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx is the path to the wordpress installation on your server
This means that your server configuration is blocking external file access, which in consequence blocks TubePress from accessing Youtube.
Solution:
allow_url_fopen should be ON in PHP configuration (php.ini). Probably, you don’t have access to edit this file and it could also be that your hosting company has restricted changing the allow_url_fopen value. In this case, you should refer to them and ask them to set the value of allow_url_fopen to ON.
On my side, TubePress will try to change the value of allow_url_fopen but if this action is restricted, it will ask you to contact your web hosting provider.

Thanks for the reply.
It is not an option for me to use this - is there any adjustment that can be made to the code to allow compatibility with shared hosting, since many wordpress users utilize shared hosting?

I added to my php.ini file and still not working.

What about this problem that I am all of a sudden getting?
