When I click on Brizy in WordPress I see the following message:

The following extensions are required for Brizy plugins properly work:
extension-zip
Please contact your hosting company for support.

Has anyone else encountered this and dealt with it?

Thanks!

  Hi Carl,

  Brizy is developed using PHP and it makes use of a PHP Module and the specific module is missing in your hosting server. The missing extension is PHP Zip. Brizy can transparently read or write ZIP compressed archives and the files contained within them with the help of this extension.

  If you have access to cPanel, you can follow this procedure to enable the ZIP extension. https://bobcares.com/blog/enable-php-zip-extension-cpanel/ Please either install it yourself or ask your hosting provider to do so in order for Brizy to function properly.

  For folks dealing with this who use GoDaddy - here is how I corrected this issue:

  1. Log in and go to "My Products"

  2. Select "Web Hosting, Manage All"

  3. Select your site and cPanel

  4. Click on "cPanel Admin" button

  5. Under the Software Section click "Select PHP Version"

  6. Here you find all of the PHP options that you can enable - check the applicable ones. In my case it was "zip"

  Hi Marte,

  Please have a look at the procedure to install the PHP GD extension with XAMPP here. In place of GD, please select the ZIP extension. https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/how-to-install-php-gd-in-xampp/
