Summary
Traffic Getting SEO Plugin™ will not work without the IonCube loader (which is free) so…
This process will show you how to enable (turn on) the IonCube loader on select cPanel web host providers.
This solution may not work at all web hosts, but it definitely works on thousands of them so most of you will be all set.
If you don’t want to mess around with the Ioncube loader problem at all…
Use these webhosts:

since installing your Traffic Getting SEO Plugin the Tweet My Blog plugin doesnt automatically add the post to my Twitter account.
Any ideas
Jeff Johnson: The best advice I can give is either contact the tweet my blog developer and see if there are any known issues with other plugings, or Try deactivating all the plugins and then reactivate them one by one until you find the one that causes the issue with the tweet plugin.

I am using netfirms as the hosting service could you please tell me a bit about how to do this properly in there. I have been looking about how to do it without any success even couldn’t google the stuff. I get the following message when I open the plugin:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function gregoriantojd() in /mnt/w0910/d19/s26/b0309d4c/www/anatomyspot.com/wp-content/plugins/seo-blog/ext-lib.php on line 0
please help!
Jeff Johnson: The best thing to do is ask your hosting company for help since each one is different, and they would know more about it than anyone.

I have 2 sites at Hostmonster using TG plugin. But I only succeed with one site at Bluehost. The second site generate error as if the ioncube is not loaded. Try to reinstall wth the help of support, but so far the error still appear. What should I do?
Jeff Johnson: Ioncube is a server side issue. If the sites are on different servers at bluehost they may have different versions of php installed. Have them upgrade both servers to the version of PHP that works (5 is what our servers use).
If that doesn’t work please ask them to review our ioncube tutorials on this site.

I’m having a devil of a time getting the TG plugin to work on my latest blog on 1and1 hosting.
When the plugin is enable then the only thing visible in my dashboard is Jeff’s link. Disable it and I have the full panel back.
1and1’s tech support asked me to find out this:
What is the version of ioncube that is most compatible w/the plugin?
Thanks. Btw, how lunarpages help and tech support?
Jeff Johnson:
Here’s what has worked for us in the past: “it appears that upgrading to PHP5 fixes this issue because of the way WordPress executes certain functions that are semi-restricted with PHP4 on 1and1 web hosts. “

Installed everything on go daddy. Here is a link to how to do it –
http://forum.ioncube.com/viewtopic.php?p=4326#4326
Very simple, takes an extra 2 minutes.
Just did a search for “ioncube loader godaddy”
If it doesn’t work for you hoster try the same but just change godaddy to whatever your hosting account is.
Hannah says
This was so helpful. It made it easy for me to enable ioncube on hostmonster. The instructions were very clear. Thanks heaps!
Nick says
Now that I have the IonCube working for my hostmonster account, do I need to have the “plugins/ioncube” folder in each of my blogs?
I have installed jeff’s plugin and activated each of the suggested plugins, but I noticed that the ioncube folder was only installed in only one of the 3 blogs that I created in this hosting account. Do I need to copy the ioncube folder into each blog.
Jeff Johnson: That depends on your hosting account. Some yes, some no. YOu’ll have to check with them.
