Installation Guide

Get YetiAware up and running on your WordPress site

Before You Begin

Make sure your site meets these requirements:

  • WordPress: Version 5.8 or higher
  • WooCommerce: Version 5.0 or higher (must be installed and activated)
  • PHP: Version 7.4 or higher

Important: WooCommerce Required

YetiAware requires WooCommerce. If WooCommerce isn't active you'll see an error notice in your dashboard and none of the YetiAware features will run.

Installation Steps

  1. Download the Plugin

    Download the yetiaware.zip file.

  2. Upload to WordPress

    Go to Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin. Click "Choose File", select yetiaware.zip, then click "Install Now".

  3. Activate the Plugin

    Click "Activate Plugin". A new YetiAware menu (shield icon) appears in your dashboard.

  4. Configure Settings

    Go to YetiAware > Settings and follow the Quick Start Guide.

Manual Installation (FTP)

  1. Unzip yetiaware.zip on your computer
  2. Upload the YetiAware folder to /wp-content/plugins/ on your server
  3. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress

What Happens on Activation

  • Three database tables are created: spend limits, breaks (cooling-off and self-exclusion) and the audit log
  • Default settings are saved
  • A published Responsible Gaming page is created at /responsible-gaming/ (skipped if a page with that address already exists)
  • A Responsible Gaming tab is added to the WooCommerce My Account menu
  • An hourly scheduled task is set up to apply confirmed changes once their waiting period ends

No manual database configuration is required.

Deactivating

Deactivating stops the hourly task. Your customers' limits, breaks and audit log are kept in the database, so everything is still there if you reactivate.
