Troubleshooting
- Upload failure: Ensure the plugin ZIP file remains compressed before upload and that your hosting allows file uploads under
/wp-content/plugins/. - Missing Loop Extender panels: Clear WordPress and Divi caches, then reload the builder.
- License error: Recheck your active subscription in the Divi Engine account and remove any spaces before or after the key.
- Version mismatch: Update both Divi 5 and PHP to meet the minimum requirements before retrying installation.
Keep the plugin updated
- Enable Automatic Updates under Plugins > Installed Plugins.
- To update manually, download the latest release from your Divi Engine account and replace the existing version via Upload Plugin.
- Always test major updates on a staging site before applying them to production.
