Requirements

The addon is a companion to the Reign theme and the WC Vendors plugin. Both are required. Some features need WC Vendors Pro or a community platform.

Required

Component	Minimum	Notes
WordPress	6.5	Declared in the plugin header as “Requires at least”. Tested up to WordPress 7.0.
PHP	8.0	Declared in the plugin header as “Requires PHP”. Sites below this floor are refused the update rather than fataling on it.
Reign theme	Active	The addon deactivates itself if the active theme is not Reign, and shows an admin notice.
WC Vendors	Active	The addon deactivates itself if the WC Vendors plugin is not active, and shows an admin notice.
WooCommerce	Active	Required by WC Vendors itself.

Optional

Component	Unlocks
WC Vendors Pro	Vendor ratings, store social icons, verified and trusted vendor badges, store banner image, opening hours in the profile widget, and the Pro total-sales display. Header elements that depend on Pro are hidden when Pro is not active.
BuddyPress or BuddyBoss	Community store tab and favorites tab on member profiles, and activity posts. Activity posts require the BuddyPress Activity component to be enabled.
PeepSo	Community store and favorites profile segments, and activity posts.

Behavior when a dependency is missing

• Without WC Vendors, the addon deactivates on the next admin load and displays: “Reign WC Vendors Addon is ineffective as it requires WC Vendors Marketplace to be installed and active.”
• Without the Reign theme, the addon deactivates and displays a notice that it only works with the Reign theme.
• Without WC Vendors Pro, Pro-only header and widget elements are skipped. Total sales still displays through a free-version fallback count.
• Without a community platform, the store tab and activity settings are disabled in the admin, with an inline notice explaining what to enable.
