Installation

Installing the Plugin

Step-by-step guide to uploading, installing, and activating Influenzic.

Influenzic is delivered as a standard WordPress plugin ZIP file. Installation takes less than two minutes using the WordPress admin uploader.

  1. 1
    Log in to WordPress admin and navigate to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.
  2. 2
    Click “Choose File” and select the influenzic.zip file from your purchase download.
  3. 3
    Click “Install Now” and wait for WordPress to upload and extract the plugin.
  4. 4
    Click “Activate Plugin”. WordPress will redirect you automatically to the Influenzic setup wizard.

What Happens on Activation

Influenzic runs its installer silently on first activation:

  • Creates all 35 required database tables (wallets, projects, campaigns, applications, invitations, negotiations, resolutions, messages, notifications, transactions, payouts, social accounts, and more)
  • Registers the brand and influencer WordPress user roles with their capability sets
  • Creates required platform pages (register, login, dashboard, campaigns, etc.)
  • Flushes WordPress rewrite rules so all frontend URLs resolve immediately
Do not skip the setup wizard. The wizard validates your server environment and prompts you to connect payment gateways before the platform is accessible to users.

Updating an Existing Installation

Updates are delivered as new ZIP files. Always backup your database before updating. Upload the new ZIP the same way you installed — WordPress will ask you to confirm overwriting the existing plugin.

No database migrations needed manually. Influenzic runs any required table migrations automatically on activation of the new version.
