How to remove/turn-off activation notice in theme options – Do Not Want To Activate.
Past experiences are that activation has resulted in complete failure of a website when we install custom widgets etc. No insult to your coding ability in building a theme. We just do not activate thems period after a few disasters.
You need to activate the theme with your license code in order to verify you purchased a license.
The theme does not phone home every day or anything like that (“check in”). The registration cannot “crash” widgets or plug-ins. Since it doesn’t have any code being loaded to interact with plugins or widgets, how would it crash the same? Since the code is already there, why would it suddenly damage your system by activating it? Seems more logical it would stop working by NOT activating your license (!).
Never seen that in 10 years of using themes; so it must have been some pretty “funky” themes with that requirement.
One presumes you’re talking about the THEME license, and not the Visual Composer license, which does not apply to the theme. Same with stupid Envato plugin, which is not recommended for anything.
Hi,
Thanks Chris!
@Stevil222
The message that appears in the theme is just a warning and it does nothing else. The system was developed to stop mass piracy of the theme and I know this is an extra step for paying customers but we tried to make it very easy to use.
When you activate the theme:
-
The theme will not overwrite any settings
The theme doesn’t record any personal information
All warnings will go away and you will have an activated product
The same purchase key can be used to activate your development copies and also the live version of your theme.
