PHP Warning: curl_setopt(): CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot be activated […]

In some cases, placing safe_mode = off should be able to deal with this issue. Unfortunately, safe_mode is being phased off, and apparently PHP 5.4 users are already out of luck.
WP plugins should not use cURL at all. I know cURL is fantastic, but read this to understand better how WP’s own internal HTTP API should be used as a replacement for cURL: http://www.htmlcenter.com/blog/please-stop-using-curl-in-wordpress-plugins/
(I know, I know, I also have a few WP plugins of my own which use cURL because it’s so convenient… and no, they shouldn’t be using it).
