 * **can you tell me its ok disabled wordpress integrity diff utility?**
 * Yes, it is okay to have this option disabled, if you don’t want to use it.
 * **[…] or i must enabled this feature**
 * You can enable this option if you think the tool will help you investigate the
   corruption of the WordPress core files.
 * **i dont have any idea about it**
 * The diff utility is a tool that allows you to see the differences between the
   code that you have installed in your website and the code that was originally
   provided by WordPress, you can see an example here [1]. However, to be able to
   enable this option your server needs to enable something called “shell function”
   and apparently your hosting provider blocked that, that’s why you are seeing 
   that error message. So even if you wanted to enable that option, you cannot, 
   because your hosting provider blocked the “shell functions”.
 * Marking as resolved, feel free to re-open if you need more information.
