However, the question is how to install that great plugin in your WordPress site. Don’t worry about it. In this guide, we will give you a beginner-friendly answer.

Pre-Requisites for Installing the WooCommerce Product Designer Plugin

Before you begin installing the WooCommerce Product Designer Plugin, ensure that your website meets the following technical requirements:

• WordPress Version: 3.1 or higher
• PHP Version: 5.3 or higher
• MySQL Version: 5.0 or higher

Recommended PHP Configuration: Some issues you might encounter (like the plugin not updating or product displays being blank) can stem from insufficient PHP configuration limits. We recommend increasing the PHP configuration settings to avoid these problems. You can either adjust these settings yourself or ask your web hosting provider for assistance.

Please make sure that your server is supported:

• fix_pathinfo = 1

• allow_url_fopen = on

• upload_max_filesize = 100M
• Server supported JSON

Note: This is step by step you can check environment requirements:

• Step 1. Create file info.php
• Step 2. Add content to this file:
• Step 3. Upload to your host folder-your-site/info.php
• Step 4. Open link yoursite.com/info.php and check all options.

This will display detailed information about your server’s configuration, including PHP version, memory limits, and other necessary settings. If any of the required configurations are missing or incorrect, contact your hosting provider and ask them to make the necessary changes.

I’m Maris – Tester at NetBaseJSC

I’m not a technical person. Well, I studied software engineering, I can write code but I'm not an expert and to be honest, I haven't touched any lines of code in 2 or 3 years. However, knowing how to program can help me understand how the software is built, operated, and more accessible to the software.

At work, I constantly ask the right questions to expose the problem of the system being tested. This is especially true when I test and explore the software as an end-user or in the case when I have no documentation about the system.

What I would do is use the product and then ask: what if I click this button? What happens if I edit the information and then I close the application without saving data? What will happen if I do this and then do it? What is this feature used for? Why do we need it? And so on. And I understand that our customers have the same questions. Therefore, I always try to put my knowledge of the product into articles to help customers get the most overview of the product.
