Some WordPress themes and plugins require certain PHP modules to work properly. We’ll show you how they’re supposed to be enabled through the client area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can enable the following modules and functions directly from the WPX control panel. Keep in mind that when you activate any modules or functions, they are applied only to the current PHP version used by the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PHP Modules<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ioncube
SOAP
Intl
GMP<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ioncube is not supported in PHP version 8.0. It is supported from PHP version 8.1 onwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PHP Functions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

exec()
parse_ini_file()<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1. Login to your WPX account.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Begin by logging into your WPX account. You can do this by visiting the\u00a0WPX login page<\/a>.\u200b<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2. Navigate to your hosting plan.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

Once logged in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Click the\u00a0Control Panel<\/strong>\u00a0button next to the plan you wish to manage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Locate your hosting plan in the WPX client area.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    If you have more than five hosting plans of the same type (WordPress, Agency, or WooCommerce), not all may appear on the homepage. Use the\u00a0WordPress Hosting<\/strong>,\u00a0Agency Hosting,<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0WooCommerce Hosting<\/strong>\u00a0tab in the left-hand menu to find your service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step 3. Navigate to the PHP menu<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Select the\u00a0PHP<\/strong>\u00a0section.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Select the website<\/strong>\u00a0you want to change the PHP version for.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Under the PHP Modules for current PHP version<\/strong> menu, you can see the modules you can enable from the WPX control panel (ionCube, SOAP, Intl, GMP). They are all disabled by default.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Under the PHP Functions for current PHP version <\/strong>menu, you can enable the exec() function or parse_ini_file(). They are disabled by default.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      You can select multiple modules and functions and enable those at once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Click on the Save Changes<\/strong> button after you\u2019re done and that’s it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
