- There is a button “ Verify Your API Settings ” in the API Settings section of the plugin. you need to choose one of following options
- CURL requires cURL support = enabled in your php.ini file.
- FSOCKOPEN requires allow_url_fopen = On and safemode = off in your php.ini file.
If that does not work, you may need to contact your hosting provider to enable one of the option.
