I bought for a year but the issue is i can't modify the php.ini because I host with a shared hosting provider that won't dare consider it, and I don't blame them.
Enabling file_get_contents is a bad idea, and the fact this software requires it is strange.. there are other ways to do what they are doing that are more secure..
I'm a linux systems administrator and for the last 10 years I've been the lead admin at an internet service provider, web hosting, dialup, broadband ... there's no way I'd consider enabling that option ..
The authors should use CURL or something else for this purpose..
AT ANY RATE .. my solution to remove the banners was to just hide it with CSS, I don't like doing that because it remains in the source and I really didn't think it was ethical for me to hack it out of the code (I'm a full time PHP developer now days) ..
So if what I'm doing is in violation, let me know ... otherwise, offer me a viable alternative .. :) .. i simply set the entire footer to display: none;
