Theme Activation

Why is the admin panel telling me I have not activated my themes for all 6 sites I run them on?! I have paid you and all is installed properly. Why this insanity? It asks me for username, password, e-mail… I have to create 6 different log-ins? What is going on? This is truly insane.

Hello,

Please reactivate the theme again because we have implemented a new security system in our theme to avoid the hacking and piracy effect and that’s why tells you this information. You should simply reactivate the theme and that’s all. Do not stress!

Thanks.

Reactivate how? It is asking me for codes, it is asking me to set usernames, passwords… I am running 6 different websites on this theme. I have purchased separate copies! I cannot make 6 different logins… And what are they for, this is not done nicely! Did nobody think things through first for cases like this one!!!!

Try it with one site first, maybe?

No, that does not solve my issue. I did try, the next site wants a different e-mail and password. This is crazy. In addition, the instructions here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-activate-the-theme/ have nothing to do with what I see in my 4.0 versions. In my case, as reported above, it requires me to create an account along with inputting the activation code, which by the way I have input during the installation. How insane is all that!

I just used my code to activate. It takes it and then tells me to register the theme with tagDiv! WHY! I don’t want to! Regardless, when I try to register (after I have activated), it tells me my username (my e-mail) is already in USE! So mad! Then I do not register it WHICH SHOULD BE AN OPTION, GIVEN I HAVE JUST ENTERED MY ACTIVATION KEY (AGAIN). Then it keeps telling me I have to activate the theme. This is absolute insanity, people! Stop smoking weed!

I want someone to immediately tell me why you are putting your users through this with your half-ass forced (what I consider to be a REACTIVATION as I have already used the activation key upon installation) and solve the problem! I cannot work like this with your theme popping a damn message that I have to activate every 30 seconds!

Shame on you!

Hello,

Sorry for the inconvenience but please notice that if you have more than one license, you should not activate each license with an email and password. Just one license you have to this and the others, you should activate using the manual activation, according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-6-how-to-activate-the-theme/

Hope this helps and I would ask you not to talk badly on this forum!

Thanks for your understanding!

New 4.0 theme is new version, and requires new activation vs v2 or v3.

basically to help fight the massive piracy online for TD themes. Which, if you want the company to stay in business, is absolutely necessary, although a little frustrating — esp for all of us with multiple licenses across multiple themes and sites.

Generally best to simply ask for help vs name calling — while it’s frustrating when things change, there is usually a simple solution that the TD theme and volunteers can help with.

hang in there brother!

Hello,

Thanks for your responses. I do have other sites running the same template, which I have bought separately. However Step. 4 appears. The link you sent says Step. 4 should not appear in my case. This is for my brookline.com site.
