Error requires the ionCube PHP Loader ioncube_loader_win_5.2.dll

One of wordpress plugin I found force me to install ioncube loader.

Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

Site error: the file C:\UniServer\www\amazonminisites.com\wp-content\plugins\seo-blog\core.php requires the ionCube PHP Loader ioncube_loader_win_5.2.dll to be installed by the site administrator.

Ok, I’ll install it. For sake of sharing I try to explain it by step 

1. Download latest ioncube loader.

2. Pick x86 for windows, save to my document and extract.

3. Check php version by click phpinfo() .

PHP Version 5.2.13

is my version.

4. Back to extracted folder and choose ioncube_loader_win_5.2.dll .

(use 5.3 dll if you use php 5.3)

5. Copy that file to C:\UniServer\usr\local\php\extensions

6. Open php.ini file located in C:\UniServer\usr\local\php

Add this line in the bottom :

zend_extension_ts = C:\UniServer\usr\local\php\extensions\ioncube_loader_win_5.2.dll

7. Restart Uniform Server
