Hello @deathruned - Have you reviewed this thread about how to install Ioncube? > [@How do I install IonCube Loader in a site using the Custom Environment?](http://community.localwp.com/t/how-do-i-install-ioncube-loader-in-a-site-using-the-custom-environment/6424): > > Some plugins and themes require IonCube Loader to load obfuscated code. If you are using one of those themes or plugins, you will need to install the IonCube Loader PHP extension. Note: This is only for sites running the Custom environment in Local. The instructions below will not work for sites running the Preferred environment. [Download the latest version](https://www.ioncube.com/loaders.php) of IonCube Loader for 64-Bit Linux ([direct download](https://downloads.ioncube.com/loader_downloads/ioncube_loaders_lin_x86-64.tar.gz)) Extract the downloaded archive to the site’s app/public folder. It should look so… Thanks, Sam ---

Yes, but it didn’t help me. I found a way by myself that helped me fix this problem. I will add a tutorial soon. Why is the ioncube loader not integrated with localwp? ---
