Prerequisites

1. Make sure you have either a Paypal Business account or an Authorize.net account.
2. IMPORTANT: Backup your existing Wordpress database and files before you install any new plugin.
3. Make sure to tell your host to enable Ioncube loader. If your host has no clue what this is or gives you grief, find a new host. Ioncube loader and Zend are standard on 98% of servers out there and should work out of the box.
4. Sign up for the technical support forum at http://www.reviewpluginforwordpress.com/support/ and visit often for free tools, update notices, and other goodies. Of course, if you have a tech support problem, this is the first line of support you can use to get a quick resolution to your issue.
5. Follow @WFReview at http://Twitter.com/WFReview for freebies and new updates/products.

Installation Instructions

1. Backup your Wordpress files AND database. (Do this before installing any plugin or theme)
2. Visit the membership page at http://reviewpluginforwordpress.com/manage_license/ and generate a key for the domains you wish to use Premium Placement on. Each instance of Premium Placement requires a unique license key and can be generated at any time by visiting the membership page. Enter your domain as Domain.com, not www.Domain.com
   1. Only use the domain.tld format for the license, not www.domain.tld. Any subdomains
      under the domain.tld format will work with the license, for example blog.domain.tld and
      store.domain.tld with both work if the license is entered as domain.tld.
   2. Example: nickmattern.com (not ‘www.nickmattern.com’)
3. Copy the Premium Placement files to the /wp‐content/plugins/ folder using BINARY FTP, not ASCII
   1. The folder must be named premium, nothing else. (all lower case)
   2. The entire contents of the ZIP file must be uploaded to the server in order for the
      plugin to function.
4. Log into your wordpress administration panel (www.domain.com/wp‐admin/) and click on Plugins. Find Premium Placement and click on Activate. If you are upgrading, deactivate the old Premium Placement, copy new files, then activate again
5. Look for the Premium Placement menu and start setting options
6. Backup your Wordpress files and Database again. Back your stuff up weekly or before/after you do anything major. Do not expect your host to keep a backup.
