MaxtDesign

Installation

Requirements

  • WordPress 6.2 or higher
  • WooCommerce 7.0 or higher (required — plugin will not activate without it; WC 5.x predates HPOS and the plugin declares HPOS compatibility)
  • PHP 7.4 or higher
  • MySQL 5.6 or higher

    • Recommended for best performance:

  • WordPress 6.9+, WooCommerce 10.0+, PHP 8.0+
  • Object caching (Redis or Memcached) for optimal price caching

    • Upgrading from 1.1.0 or earlier

    Versions 1.1.0 and earlier had a silent bug where index-migration on activation never ran (table identifiers were quoted as string literals, which is invalid SQL). After upgrading to 1.1.1 or later, deactivate and reactivate the plugin once to apply the missing indexes. This is a one-time step; subsequent upgrades apply indexes correctly.

    Database Tables

    The plugin creates two custom tables on activation:

  • wp_maxtdesign_rbp_rules — product-specific pricing rules
  • wp_maxtdesign_rbp_global_rules — global pricing rules

    • Both tables include optimized indexes for fast lookups. Tables are fully removed on plugin deletion.
