Enabling ionCube Loader in MyKinsta

[mouakter13]

If you are not sure which version you need to download and install, don't worry, we will cover this in detail shortly.

As a side note, if you are using HHVM (HipHop Virtual Machine) to process PHP, you should be aware that ionCube loader does not support HHVM.

However, this is a moot point as HHVM ended support for PHP as of v3.30. Therefore, this is only relevant if you are using an older version of HHVM. If you are still using HHVM and need to encrypt PHP files with ionCube, then you will need to switch to a more standard PHP engine that supports ionCube.
