• Hi,
    When I try to activate the plugin I get the message “The link you followed has expired.” Please try again.

    I have increased all the php.ini parameters as recommended around the web.

    My WordPress version is 5.03
    PHP version is 7.1

    Can you help me activate the plugin?

    Thanks

  • Hello! I stumbled upon your question while trying to solve the exact same problem with another plugin (for the record, it was an alternative payment method for Chilean websites using Woocommerce: Transbank’s Webpay).

    I first tried to solve it by increasing the parameters that, as you said, are usually recommended around the web. It didnt work. However, then I tried again by drastically increasing the max_execution_time and max_input_time parameters, and then I also increased the max_input_vars parameter. So, in summary:

    max_execution_time = 1000
    memory_limit = 512M
    post_max_size = 32M
    upload_max_filesize = 64M
    max_input_time = 1000
    max_input_vars = 2000

    Remember to change individually each parameter that is already in the php.ini file (I know some people just copy and paste the code at the beginning of the file. Doing that will not work.) Using the nano editor, you can search for each parameter by pressing [ctrl + W]

    Finally, remember to restart apache. To do so, I normally use the following command:

    /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

    However, if you search on the web, you’ll probably find other commands, different from the one I use. To be honest, I don’t know if there is any difference whatsoever. I just like to use that command because it feedbacks you with a nice little message:

    [ ok ] Restarting apache2 (via systemctl): apache2.service.

    That way, you’ll be sure it has effectively restarted.

    Let me know if it works!

    EDIT: Forgot one thing. My plugin needed composer to be installed on my server. Search on the plugin’s support page if you have to install something before installing the plugin.
