- max_execution_time = 180 (but 300 or more is recommened)
- cURL library - your server must work with curl or url_fopen.
- OpenSSL Libraries - must be enabled.
- PHP file_get_contents() function - must be available/unlocked.
Note: Support for PHP 5.6 ended (!). Change the PHP version from cPanel or change the hosting company.
* Those values can be changed in php.ini or .htaccess file. Please contact your web hosting service provider to ask them where/how to change PHP settings.
In addition, some features of the modules and components** used in a template may require:
