Hi, i bough last week this theme and as you knew this plugin already in theme and licenced. There’s no problem here but when i install this plugin, my wordpress said
“Hola! Would you like to receive automatic updates and unlock premium support? Please activate your copy of Visual Composer.”
My theme already activated, but i can’t activate visual composer because when i go to activate the creator webpage said “your account don’t have licence, you need to buy licence”. What should i do now? Thanks.
Hi monacodoom,
Please notice that you have misunderstood! The Visual Composer must not be bought to be licensed. If you will read our documentation, with more attention you will see that our theme comes bundled with this type of plugin and with others required plugins. This plugin is included in our theme and it’s licensed. We only adjust the theme after this plugin. Notice that we do not edit this one. For more information on the answer to this question, please check here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/PexhDbeuX3kq
Thanks for your understanding!
I’m not using seprated version sir, whatever thing with came the theme i already installed. That’s why i asking for.
Plugin is ‘bundled version’ and so is included with theme; but does not include separate paid license. You do not need to ‘activate license’ to use it, so can ignore the nag screen.
Just like pirate version huh? I understood.
No. You really don’t get it?
A licensed/bundled version is included with the theme, and is sub-licensed by the theme developer (who is paying WPBakery to do so) to include with the theme (as with hundreds of themes on ThemeForest which do the same thing).
You get a license to include the plugin with the theme use only; not on multiple sites; and it’s only updated with the theme updates.
You do *not* get a separate PAID license for the plugin from WPBakery — which would include support and updates from them — as WPB only getting very small license fee, and no money from you directly — so you don’t get a paid license from them as you have not paid them anything. That is how licensing works.
No need to be snotty — as nobody will try to educate you if you’re a dick about learning about things you don’t understand.
I don’t work here, but am part of the 4 years of user support where we all try to help one another from our own projects, tips, tricks, customizations, etc.
It’s not a pirate version. Clearly you need to dial it down and listen to what has been posted and what is clearly noted in the theme documentation.
Have a wonderful day!
I get it, but i mean “Please activate your copy of Visual Composer.” warning is a normal?
Hello monacodoom,
Please IGNORE this warning and use ONLY the plugins which come bundled with the theme core files.
Thanks.
( WPBakery puts that stupid ‘nag screen’ there even with bundled legal licensed versions – they still try to promote their own business the same way YOAST does even with the Premium version. TD used to be able to hide that, if memory served, but finally gave up ad WPB kept messing with the code for that. )
