I just installed wordpress with plugins, everything works find except on a 'contact me' page, where I can see an error like this.

Warning: getimagesize(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known in /var/www/foobar.com/wp-content/themes/foobar/backend/theme-components/cs-header/cs_functions.php on line 751

Warning: getimagesize(http://dev.foobar/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/subheader-image-jobline-1.jpg): failed to open stream: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known in /var/www/foobar.com/wp-content/themes/foobar/backend/theme-components/cs-header/cs_functions.php on line 751

cs_functions.php on line 751 is: 

    if (is_file($cs_upload_dir . $cs_img_name) || is_file($cs_images_dir . $cs_img_name)) {
        if (ini_get('allow_url_fopen')) {
            if ($header_banner_image <> '') {
                $banner_image_height = getimagesize($header_banner_image);
            }
        }
    } else if (isset($cs_upload_subdir_file) && is_file($cs_upload_dir . $cs_upload_subdir_file)) {
        if (ini_get('allow_url_fopen')) {
           // THIS IS LINE 751
          $banner_image_height = getimagesize($header_banner_image);
        }
    } else {
        $banner_image_height = '';
    }

So, I went to /etc/php.ini and checked allow_url_fopen and it is set to on

allow_url_fopen = On

What is going on? and how do I fix it

  • you should basically never call getimagesize on a url. this will slow down your page tremendously.

  • call it on the file path not the url. url starts with http, path starts with ABSPATH constant (in WordPress)

I'm assuming WP is installed locally, did you make sure to edit your hosts file. Example:

127.0.0.1 dev.foobar

  • Yes. I am sure I have that in my hosts file. Otherwise, I wouldn't even have seen the frontpage of my WP site
