Requirements

Use a supported WordPress installation with access to plugin installation and administration. The reviewed Core plugin header lists WordPress 6.5 or later and PHP 7.4 or later as minimums. The “Tested up to” declaration should be checked against the release being published.

Install RLC Core

1. In WordPress administration, open Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.
2. Select the complete RLC Core distribution ZIP, not a developer delta ZIP.
3. Choose Install Now, then Activate Plugin.
4. Open Ray’s Lead Capture from the WordPress admin navigation.
5. Visit RLC → Settings → Diagnostics to inspect registered themes, background providers, and database status.

NOTE  Developer delta ZIPs used during development contain only changed files and should not be installed as complete plugins.

The main admin areas

The RLC navigation provides Dashboard, Campaigns, Add New Campaign, Template Library, Analytics, Settings, and About Us. Add New Campaign opens the template-selection flow.

Updating, deactivation, and uninstall

Back up the plugin files and database before updating. Deactivation does not, by itself, delete campaign data. The General settings page contains a separate option controlling whether known RLC data is removed on uninstall; leave it disabled if campaigns and events must be preserved.

Installation checklist

Confirm the admin pages load, a template preview opens, a campaign can be saved, and the campaign renders in its intended placement. If using a graphics pack, confirm a matching theme retrieves an image.
