Hi, how can we help?
How do licenses work for any plugins that are bundled with the theme I bought?
Many themes available on Devmakr come with bundled premium plugins, adding extra features and functionality to your theme without requiring a separate plugin license. Plugins like Visual Composer, Revolution Slider, and other page builders are often included by theme authors to enhance the theme package.
How Bundled Plugins Work
A bundled plugin brings the same core features as the standalone version but may lack certain advanced functionalities. While some plugins may prompt for a purchase code upon installation, activation isn’t required for bundled plugins. Once the theme itself is activated, the plugin will function as intended.
Updates and Support for Bundled Plugins
When a plugin receives an update, the theme author will typically include the latest version in the next theme update, so you can easily stay up-to-date by updating your theme. Any support for the plugin falls under the theme’s support period and is handled by the theme author.
Important Considerations:
- Licensing: Bundled plugins are covered under the theme’s license, so they can’t be extracted or used with other themes.
- Convenience & Value: Bundled plugins save you time and cost, providing an all-in-one solution with your theme purchase.
If you’d like to use a plugin independently or with multiple themes, consider purchasing the plugin separately for direct updates and support from the plugin developer.
