We have added a special php.ini file to the install which allows url_fopen, so I doubt it is related to that (but I can't be sure). we also had the host make a change to allow "embed" for adding videos.

I also had an issue with adding certain HTML tag to the splash page, but I gave up on using a splash page a couple weeks ago.

I am somewhat confused about all this. I have been using WP on this server for quite some time, and I never seem to have issues like this. Is there a hosting or other setting that needs to be changed to not have these permission errors.

Thanks!
