General

This section contains list of all plugin related requirements, hosting suggestions and configuration, plugin package structure etc.

Plugin Requirements

To install and use the plugin on your site, you must be running WordPress 6.0 or higher, PHP 8.1.0 or higher, and MySQL 5 or higher. You need to have the following values setup for your site's PHP configuration. Contact your host to find out if they support these requirements.

300
max_execution_time
124 M
memory_limit
64 M
post_max_size
64 M
upload_max_filesize
1000
max_input_vars (optional)

How To Verify Current PHP Configuration

You need to verify the PHP version that is currently installed on your site. You have got couple of options on how to find the exact version. Remember, the plugin requires atleast PHP 8.1.0 to work correctly. To find the correct version of PHP you can -

  • 1

    Ask your hosting provider

    Ask your hosting provider to tell you the configuration. If the required conditions are not met, ask them to increase the limits.
  • 2

    Install plugin

    You can also check the PHP configuration by installing this simple plugin called WP-ServerInfo.
  • 3

    Use FTP and upload a file.

    If you have FTP access to your site, upload this below file to your site root directory. This should be the same folder in which the wp-config.php exists. Once uploaded access this file using your site url as [your-site-url]/phpinfo.php. You need to extract the file from inside the zip download. Download the file
    Use right-click and then choose "Save Link as" to save the file.

Note: Plugin Requirements

The above mentioned PHP configuration values are recommended for smooth working of Massive. The plugin will mostly work with even lower config, but for large sites, or while trying to import some demos, you might face some problems if the recommended configuration is not met.

File structure

We've prepared a very intuitive file structure. Please click on the folders below to see what's inside.

Below is a full list of everything that is included when you download the main files.

Browser Support

Specifically, we support the latest versions of the following browsers and platforms. On Windows, we support Internet Explorer 11+. More specific support information is provided below.

  • Safari

  • Opera

  • FireFox

  • IE 11+

Getting started

To get started you need to download the plugin package from WordPress.org "Plugins" section.

When you purchase UI-Clan plugins on CodeCanyon, you need to download the plugin files from the downloads section of your Envato account. Navigate to your downloads tab on CodeCanyon and find the plugin. Alternately, you can click this link here to go to your downloads page. If you have bought it recently, it should be on the top. Next, click the download button to see the two options. The "All files & documentation" contain the whole plugin package and has a large download size. The "Installable WordPress file only" consists of just the installable WordPress plugin zip file massive.zip.

Installation

You can install the plugin either by using WordPress or via FTP. The massive.zip file that you find in the plugin download package is what you need to upload to your site.

    The downloaded plugin package then needs to be extracted using an appropriate application. We recommend 7-zip for Windows or build-in extract tool for Mac to extract the contents of the package. If you had choosen the "installable plugin package" option, then you need not extract anything and the downloaded zip file is what you can upload to your site.

All of these can be found in the massive-complete package. Incase you download the Installable plugin File, you can use the file to install via the admin dashboard method. You will need to extract the plugin folder from the downloaded zip file in order to use the FTP method.

Support Desk

Every license of the plugin comes with 6 months of technical support and completely free lifetime updates of the plugin.

Once the 6 months of included support is up, you have the option to extend the support period to 6 or 12 months for a nominal fee. If you do not extend your support, you will still be able to submit bug reports via email or Envato's comments section for the plugin and still have access to our online documentation and knowledge base and video tutorials and other support resources.
You can also contact us via Twitter or E-mail.

Previously, purchasing a plugin license entitled you to unlimited support and lifetime updates. But recently, the Envato license terms have been updated related to item support. You can view the updated terms here https://codecanyon.net/page/item_support_policy

Once you have purchased the plugin you have the option to extend support while your purchase date is less than 6 months from the current date and there is less than 6 months support remaining.

The cost of extending or renewing support varies according to your purchase date with respect to when you have purchased the plugin. So, extending support during plugin purchase will cost 30% of list price in comparison to 50% during 6 months. The image below explains how the pricing is set.
