&gt;&gt; &gt; Hello,<br>
&gt;&gt; &gt; I have integrated a &quot;Theme Reference&quot; page to provide some useful<br>
&gt;&gt; &gt; information about my framework. I am going to load remote data by reading<br>
&gt;&gt; &gt; RSS Feed. Here is the code logic,<br>
&gt;&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; &gt; function get_chip_life_feed( $feed_url ) {<br>
&gt;&gt; &gt;     $content = file_get_contents( $feed_url );<br>
&gt;&gt; &gt;     $feed = new SimpleXmlElement( $content );<br>

&gt;&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; &gt; I have got following Warning after submitting the theme,<br>
&gt;&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; &gt; WARNING: file_get_contents was found in the file tutorials.php possible<br>
&gt;&gt; &gt; file operations.<br>
&gt;&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; &gt; Is it now allowed to load data via RSS ?<br>
&gt;&gt; &gt; So how can i load dynamic data without this ?<br>
&gt;&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; &gt; Help is really appreciated.<br>
