This one is really easy to install really.

Make sure you try registering to make sure you did not do anything wrong that could break the registering process.

It's not the mod to have any bug, but oh well, the worst mistake we do are always the dumbest so

As a good practice, never save a backups, always do full backups (files + db, it's not big deal in this case more is better) before you apply mods, so that you can easily go back to normal if you messed up.

A local test board is wise and fun too
