I did some research on setting up Curl for WAMP on Windows 7 machines and here’s how to fix it:<\/p>\n
1: Exit WAMP.<\/p>\n
2: Open the WAMP folder navigate to bin\/php\/php5.4.3\/ext<\/p>\n
3: Lets create a backup of your current php_curl.dll file. Rename it php_curloriginal.dll<\/p>\n
4: Get the correct Curl Dll file for Windows 7 computers from here:

5: Open Wamp folder navigate to WAMP\\bin\\php\\-your version of php-\\ and open the php.ini file: uncomment “extension=php_curl.dll” by removing the semicolon “;”<\/p>\n
6: Navigate to WAMP\\bin\\Apache\\-your version of apache-\\bin\\ and open the php.ini file: uncomment extension=php_curl.dll by removing the semicolon “;”
\nyou can also right click on WAMP icon – PHP – extensions and click “php_curl” to enable it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
