Which Code Do You Need?
WPRentals is sold in two places, and each one gives you a different kind of code. Everything else on this page is the same for both, so start by finding the row that matches your purchase.
| You bought WPRentals on | What you enter to register |
|---|---|
| ThemeForest (Envato) | Your ThemeForest username and your Purchase Code |
| wprentals.org | Your License Key only – there is no username to enter |
Get Your ThemeForest Purchase Code
Log in to ThemeForest with the buyer account used to purchase WPRentals.
Go to the Downloads section.
Locate your WPRentals purchase and select License Certificate and Purchase Code.
Open the downloaded text file and copy the Item Purchase Code. That is the code you register the theme with.
Get Your wprentals.org License Key
If you bought WPRentals directly from wprentals.org, you do not have a ThemeForest purchase code. You have a License Key instead, and you can find it in two places:
- In the purchase confirmation email sent to the address you bought with, right under the download link
- In your account at care.wpestate.org, under Licenses — the same screen also holds your download files
Copy the whole key exactly as it is shown, with the dashes and without any spaces before or after it.
Register the License on Your Website
Registering the license is what unlocks lifetime updates and the ready-made demo content. Until you register, the theme still works, but you will not receive updates and you cannot import a demo.
Before you start, install the theme and activate the WPRentals – Theme Core Functionality plugin. The License screen is added by that plugin, so it does not exist until the plugin is active.
How to install the theme and the included plugins
Then go to WPRentals Site Settings > WPRentals License.
Step 1 – Choose where you bought the theme
The form starts with two options. Pick the one that matches your purchase, because it changes which fields you get:
- Purchased on ThemeForest – you get a ThemeForest Username field and a Purchase Code field. Both are required
- Purchased on wprentals.org – the username field disappears and the remaining field is relabelled License Key, because a direct purchase has no ThemeForest account attached to it
This is what the form looks like after choosing Purchased on wprentals.org:
Step 2 – Fill in the form and register
- Paste your code into the field. For a ThemeForest purchase, fill in the username as well
- Tick the consent checkbox under the fields. It is required and the form will not submit while it is unchecked
- Click Register License
If the registration succeeds you will see the message: You have successfully registered.
Once the license is registered you can import demo content.
“License Code Is Already Registered for Another Domain”
If you try to register the same license on more than one website, you will see:
License code is already registered for another domain.
Why this happens
One license covers one live domain, and this applies to ThemeForest purchase codes and wprentals.org License Keys alike. The usual causes are:
- The license was used on a staging or test domain first.
- The website was reinstalled or moved without deactivating the license first.
- A developer activated the license on a different domain.
- The original website no longer exists.
If you still have access to the original site
- Log in to the WordPress admin of the website where the license is active.
- Go to WPRentals Site Settings > WPRentals License.
- Click Deactivate License.
- Wait for the message Your license has been successfully revoked.
- Go back to the new website and register the license there.
If you do not have access to the original site
Open a ticket at care.wpestate.org and tell us the domain you want to use it on.
Deactivate the License and Move It to Another Website
Log in to the website where the license is active and go to WPRentals Site Settings > WPRentals License. When a site is registered, this screen shows the deactivation option instead of the registration form:
Click Deactivate License. You will then see:
Your license has been successfully revoked.
The license is now free and you can register it on another domain. On the website you just deactivated, the theme keeps working but stops receiving updates and can no longer import demo content, so only do this when you are moving the license.
Register in Client Support with Your License Code
Client support is at care.wpestate.org. You can also manage and release your licenses there.
If you bought on ThemeForest, create your account with your ThemeForest buyer username and your WPRentals purchase code.
