I actually identified an issue where I was pushing and pulling the cache file to the root directory. I've modified version 2.0.4 so that it writes to a cache subdirectory within the plugin's directory. Please let me know how it runs! (Still needs SimpleXML and cURL!)

Site runs php5, and the button displays. I tried commenting out lines 121-123, and the plug works fine. Can I put it live, or will the lack of those lines cause trouble in the longer run?

It worked 'out of the box' on Jumpline and is now installed on my blog. Hi Doug,

It's running without any problems on a few sites - so it's one of 3 things: 1. Cache, 2. cURL or 3. PHP Version. I can utilize older PHP 4 functionality to pull and parse the XML but it may slow it down quite a bit - I'm going to test this weekend. I appreciate all the input. "Houston, we have a problem!".

I am running PHP5, and cURL is compiled in (one of my usual three requests to my host, for things to be compiled into PHP). Everything else works fine, but I'm not entirely sure why this plugin is choking, unless it's the version of cURL compiled in to PHP (We're at 7.15.4, and latest appears to be 7.16.1). However, I don't want to pester my host to compile php5 again just for that, if I can help it. <:3 Well, Doug, I double-checked my PHP version.

You can do this by building a page on your site with <code><?php phpinfo(); ?></code> in a page. Then open that page. The top of the page will have your version of PHP and you can do a search for CURL to ensure it's enabled. Thanks! Doug Hi Richard,

In the side bar it will show the plugin (with rank) but with those errors above it.

I've been running WP-Cache for quite a while. :) I was a little curious, too, as to why it'd complain about this, since I do have the necessary directory, but I'm guessing it's something else altogether.
