Can't activate AliDropship Woo Plugin

[rontap.cado]

Hello,

I'm running PHP Version 8.1.9 on LiteSpeed V8.0.1, installed the latest ionCube PHP Loader v12.0.3, and running all the latest versions of WordPress and Woocommerce. When I try to activate Alidropship under Plugins, I get the following error:

"Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
Fatal error: The file /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/alidswoo/core/autoload.php encoded as type [1/72] cannot be decoded by this version of the ionCube Loader. in Unknown on line 0"

I thought of installing an older version of ioncube to see if it fixes the issue but I can't find how to download older versions. Also, I'm not sure if that would fix the problem. Any idea on how to fix this?

Thanks

I just want to update this in case anyone running into the same issue.

I forgot to run one of the steps when installing Ioncube on the server.

Solution is below.

============

For example, if your web server is 64 bit Linux, thread safety is disabled,
PHP is version 8.1.8, the main php.ini file is /etc/php.ini and you
have unpacked Loaders to /usr/local/ioncube, you would:

1) edit /etc/php.ini
2) at the top of the php.ini file add

zend_extension = /usr/local/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_8.1.so

3) restart the PHP environment (i.e. Apache, php-fpm, etc.)

4) Check a phpinfo page and the Loader should show up in the Zend Engine box.
