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
The theme is identical either way. Same features, same demos, same support. The only practical difference is how your website receives updates, which is explained in How to update WPRentals theme & included plugins.

Get Your ThemeForest Purchase Code

Log in to ThemeForest with the buyer account used to purchase WPRentals.

ThemeForest Login

Go to the Downloads section.

ThemeForest Downloads

The Downloads link in the ThemeForest account menu

Locate your WPRentals purchase and select License Certificate and Purchase Code.

The download menu on ThemeForest with License Certificate and Purchase Code highlighted

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 My Licenses, where it is shown as the License code. The same screen also holds your download files

The WP Rentals license row on the My Licenses page at care.wpestate.org, with the License code (greyed out here), the Download WP Rentals package and Download theme buttons and the activation status

Copy the whole key exactly as it is shown, with the dashes and without any spaces before or after it. Step by step instructions for the My Licenses page are in Download the theme if you bought it on wprentals.org.

Cannot find the email? Check the spam folder first, then open a ticket at care.wpestate.org with the email address you paid with and we will resend 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.

The WPRentals License screen with the registration form and the ThemeForest option selected

While the website is not registered, the same form is also shown at the top of every WordPress admin screen, so you can register from wherever you happen to be.

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:

The same form with the wprentals.org option selected, showing a single License Key field

Choose the right option. A wprentals.org License Key cannot be validated as a ThemeForest purchase code, and the other way round. If registration is refused, check this choice before anything else.

Step 2 – Fill in the form and register

  1. Paste your code into the field. For a ThemeForest purchase, fill in the username as well
  2. Tick the consent checkbox under the fields. It is required and the form will not submit while it is unchecked
  3. 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.

The error shown when the licence is already active on 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

  1. Log in to the WordPress admin of the website where the license is active.
  2. Go to WPRentals Site Settings > WPRentals License.
  3. Click Deactivate License.
  4. Wait for the message Your license has been successfully revoked.
  5. Go back to the new website and register the license there.

If you do not have access to the original site

If you bought on wprentals.org, sign in at care.wpestate.org and open My Licenses. That page lets you deactivate a domain, so you can free the license without logging in to the old website.

If you bought on ThemeForest, or you cannot free the license from My Licenses:

Important: if you do not know which domain the license is registered on, or you no longer have access to that website, you cannot release it yourself. It has to be checked and released by our team.

Open a ticket at care.wpestate.org and tell us the domain you want to use it on.

Move the License to Another Domain

Moving a license from one domain to another is always the same two steps, whether you bought on ThemeForest or on wprentals.org:

  1. Deactivate the license on the old domain.
  2. Activate (register) it on the new domain.

A wprentals.org license can be moved this way as many times as you like.

Always deactivate the license before you delete a website, reset a website, or move the license to a different domain. It takes a few seconds now and saves a support ticket later.

Step 1 – Deactivate the license on the old domain

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:

The WPRentals License screen on a registered site, showing the Deactivate License button

Click Deactivate License. You will then see:

Your license has been successfully revoked.

The confirmation message shown after a licence has been deactivated

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.

If you bought on wprentals.org: deactivating also switches the site back to the ThemeForest way of doing things, so the Envato Market plugin reappears in the recommended plugin list. You can ignore it – it becomes relevant again only if you register a ThemeForest purchase code on that site.

Step 2 – Activate the license on the new domain

Log in to the new website, go to WPRentals Site Settings > WPRentals License and register the license exactly as described in Register the License on Your Website. When you see You have successfully registered., the move is done.

Manage or Cancel Your wprentals.org Purchase

A wprentals.org license is a yearly subscription. It renews automatically every year, and you can cancel it at any time.

Payments are handled by Lemon Squeezy, our merchant of record. Your orders, invoices and subscription are in your Lemon Squeezy account, not on care.wpestate.org.

Open your order

  1. Go to app.lemonsqueezy.com/my-orders.
  2. Enter the email address you used when you bought the theme and click Sign In. Lemon Squeezy emails you a secure sign-in link. Click it and you are signed in, no password needed.

The Lemon Squeezy My Orders sign in page with the Email address field and the Sign In button

  1. Open your WPRentals order.

The order page in Lemon Squeezy with the order total, the Subscriptions and Licenses sections and the Generate Invoice and Manage Subscription buttons

This example shows a WPResidence order, with the prices greyed out. Your WPRentals order has the same sections and buttons.

Lemon Squeezy explains this page in its own help: My Orders.

On the order page you find:

  • Subscriptions – your plan and its status, for example Active
  • Licenses – your license and how many websites use it. (0/1) means it is not activated on any website yet
  • Generate Invoice – creates an invoice for your order
  • Manage Subscription – opens the billing page for your subscription

Cancel the subscription

  1. On the order page, click Manage Subscription.
  2. Choose to cancel your WPRentals subscription and confirm.

The same billing page is where you update your card or payment method and your billing details. If you change your mind after cancelling, you can resume the subscription from there. Lemon Squeezy describes everything this billing page can do here: Customer Portal.

What happens when you cancel? Cancelling only stops the next renewal. It does not remove anything from your website. The theme keeps working and your site keeps running exactly as it is. What ends when your paid year is over is theme updates and support.
Cancelling is not a refund. Refund requests are reviewed one by one and must be sent within 14 days of purchase. The details are in our Refund Policy.

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.

If you bought on wprentals.org, there is nothing to register. Your support account is created for you at the moment of purchase, using the email address you bought with. Sign in at care.wpestate.org with that address, and you will find your license and your download files under My Licenses.
