Woocommerce linked licensing system for your plugins
-
@clumsybear I try to follow the KISS principle. My website is totally functional without needing an additional dependency of a page builder, and it looks decent and is simple for the user to navigate.

I read a lot of reviews reporting problems with it and people switching back to Elementor. What's your experience?
What kind of issues?
Gutenberg works great here. Page loading speed, Google ranking is pretty high also.
There are lots of features are being added continuously to Gutenberg. People preferred other page builders for design speed before. But now, Gutenberg is easier/faster to use now. I think there are no need for another third party page builders anymore (at least for me).
Also Wordpress & Woocommerce integrate to Gutenberg much better than other 3rd party builders. But this integration quality also depends on the theme you use. So choose a good and fast theme first.

@clumsybear I think I never could understand the workflow in Gutenberg. I come from elementor but got tired of the bloat and heaviness (even if it's pretty efficient in terms of design possibilities IMO).
I'm trying the oxygen builder these days and it seems pretty nice...Develop branch
Win10 & VS17 / Ventura & Xcode 14. 3 -
@orange as far as I understand Gutenberg development is breaking compatibility with almost every other update, so that you have to rework your pages made with the block builder. Also there seem to be lots of missing features compared to other builders.
I'm asking because I have no experience with Gutenberg, only with Elementor and I would like to switch from Elementor to a simpler and less bloated solution.
So you're saying the Kadence Theme with Gutenberg and WP 6.2 is a solid solution and you did not encounter any problems?
Thanks for replying btw @orange
@Matt_SF thanks for the suggestion, I will look into oxygen builder, never heard of it. Although, my ideal solution would be without 3rd party builders, if I can manage it :)
I totally understand getting tired of the bloat and heaviness, I have the same experience right now
-
@Matt_SF using oxygen here as well.

Yes. Kadence team is constantly making updates. I think one of the most important things here is to get update support and a service that provides this continuously. I tested lots of page builders including Elementor. Page load speed depends on many parameters, but acording to my experience, Gutenberg performance is ahead in terms of page bıilders.

Hi guys, I've found this new really good WP plugin, well documented, the agency is cooperative as well.
I'm looking to create a library to be able connect to the API and activate my plugin using a login.Does anyone know someone that will be interested in this job/integration?
Thanks
-
@fastermaster What is the WP plugin?
-
@fastermaster ..yeah and point us at the API please...
-
hi it's Enwikuna licensing manager.
API is in the doc. I'm in contact with the owner, he's backloging all the changes i believe would make a great audio plugin software licensing solution.

That doesnt look too complex - pm me..
e149.00 per site doesnt sound cheap tho...
-
@fastermaster Active installations are fewer than 10.
-
@orange Looks like it was only published a month ago
-
I'm in contact with the owner, he's really good, he've been recommended by the creator of the original WP plugin license manager (dot) at, that has 500+ positive reviews (he sold the company a couple of years ago)
I believe that 149 per year, for the features the app has and willing to implement that are somewhat specific to audio is really a great deal. It will also ensure regular security updates that will protect our data bases and activation server.
He's going to implement offline activation, auto trial and some cool features. User can for example, manage their activations in the dashboard and unbind a device and release an activation. that's something only Plugin Alliance has at the moment..
if you guys have some extra features that you're interested in, I can send it, it may be added to the backlog.
I'm currently looking to build a C++ library if anyone wants to help
-

I don't think so. My users can deactivate their licenses and transfer them to another account (I don't tie mine to particular machines though).
-
@d-healey I wasn't aware of that good to know.
I've been struggling a lot to find a good licensing solution. That's why I've been hunting for some newer ones that still operate in my own server. -
@fastermaster This is the one I use - https://www.licensemanager.at/

Hi guys, a little update 9 months later, the enwikuna is clearly the best server based non centralised licensing solution. The new version just dropped with some really amazing upgrades.
If anyone wants help with the integration with Juce, feel free to reach out to them, there's a custom juce project that can be purchased that will help you get a head start on your software licensing journey.
@d-healey there's a migration tool from license manager if you want to check it out in your staging website!
-
@fastermaster What advantages does it have over license manager?
-
@d-healey I like the design and how it's build. It makes a lot of things better like the license activations or even has a host management which I use to manage my client-host logic. Also, the REST API is very secure and provides a login / token feature which others don't have. Same as trial! very comprehensive and just works, I have no complaints in a 500 ish user sample.
To round it up, they provide such a good support. They are always helping me if I need to modify something or if I just have a question.
Also I've sent some suggestions and some cool features are coming up, like for example license distribution/redeem system through plugin sellers without affecting the order system.
