proc_open

[hoyer801]

I'm trying to run the HTML Tidy wordpress plugin on my site. After installing, I get this error:

Warning: proc_open() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/hoyer801/public_html/wordpress251/wp-content/plugins/tidy-up/tidy_class.php on line 251

Line 251 reads as follows:

$process = proc_open ($tidy_command, $desc, $pipes);

Is there any way that I can get around this? Per the developer of the plugin, proc_open is necessary in order for it to function properly.

proc_open() is a serious security risk because it allows users to run commands on the server.
The only alternative is shell_exec(), but that is only available in the advanced PHP config which is rarely given out.
