IonCube Loader

All Plug and Pay plugins require the ionCube Loader to be installed and enabled on your server. This component is used to run the protected code within our plugins.

If IonCube Loader is missing, you may see a "Site Error" or a specific message stating that the loader is required.

Enabling IonCube in cPanel

The easiest way to enable IonCube is through your hosting control panel. Most modern hosts provide a tool called Select PHP Version.

  1. Log in to your cPanel.
  2. Search for and click on Select PHP Version (usually under the "Software" section).
  3. Click on the Extensions tab.
  4. Look for ioncube_loader in the list.
  5. Check the box to enable it. The changes are usually saved automatically.

Troubleshooting

  • Check PHP Version: Ensure you are using a PHP version supported by both IonCube and our plugins (typically PHP 7.4, 8.1, or 8.2).
  • Manual Installation: If your host does not provide the "Select PHP Version" tool, you may need to add IonCube manually via php.ini or contact your hosting provider's support team to enable it for you.
  • Verification: You can verify if IonCube is active by creating a phpinfo.php file on your server and searching for "ionCube".
