    no…my webhost package does not include this function ??
    What should i do, shoul i deinstall w3 total cache?

    Are you using Amazon for CDN or something? Cause I dont have cURL installed either but it doesnt affect the plugin’s operation. If you are using Amazon S3 or w/e…. you’d need to get the web host to enable it for you.

    no, i do not use Amozon or CDN… i could not understand it, i used this plugin until this upgrade.Why should i change anything with my webhost?

    Well yea you’d need to file a support ticket cause that shouldn’t happen. I dont think there is any need for cURL support unless you use Amazon S3.

    You will have to deactivate the plugin. Download the upgrade to your machine and then either FTP it to the server replacing the existing files or you have to delete the plugin completely and install the new version following the installation instructions again. Be sure to remove your w3-total-cache-config.php file if you were using disk enhanced page caching.

    I am new to this, how do I run ” chmod 777 /home/mynewrev/public_html/wp-content ‘?

    Ask your host for the easiest way to change permissions on a directory and show them that command.
