Requirements & Install

Three tables, two generated files, one activation click.

System requirements

• WHMCS 8.x or 9.x.
• PHP as required by your WHMCS version.
• Write permission in the WHMCS base directory (for robots.txt / sitemap.xml).
• Write permission in modules/addons/seo/templates_c/ (compiled templates).
• A valid license key — entered in the module settings after activation. The key is emailed after purchase and is also available in the client area under Account → My Products → manage product.

Install

1. Upload the seo folder to yourdomain.com/modules/addons/ so the layout is:

   modules/addons/seo/seo.php
   modules/addons/seo/hooks.php
   modules/addons/seo/whmcs.json
   modules/addons/seo/docs/        ← bundled documentation site
   modules/addons/seo/lib/...
   modules/addons/seo/templates/...
   modules/addons/seo/lang/...

2. In the WHMCS admin go to Configuration > System Settings > Addon Modules.
3. Find SEO Manager in the list, choose the admin role groups allowed to use it (Access Control) and click Activate. The module creates its three database tables automatically.
4. Enter your license key — click Configure, paste the License key you received by email (or from the client area: Account → My Products → manage product) and save. The module validates the key automatically and will not run until a valid key is saved.
5. Open the module via the Addons > SEO Manager menu.

Optional cron

If you enable Regenerate Sitemap via Cron in the module settings, make sure the standard WHMCS automation cron runs daily:

php /path/to/whmcs/crons/cron.php

Uninstall / data

• Deactivate the module in Configuration > System Settings > Addon Modules — all data (meta records, redirects, settings) is preserved for a future re-activation.
• Tick Delete Module Database on the module’s Configure screen first if you want the tables dropped automatically on deactivation.
• Removing the module files from modules/addons/ after deactivation leaves no traces in the database.
