    I’ve always wondered as well. It would be hard to test each individual plugin/theme constantly as they are updated just to find some sneaky malware. The creators of this site have the power to do that of course… it’s just the risk you take. Many freemium sites out there are pretty sketchy. I’ve never encountered anything though from this site if that helps.

    These plugins are mostly awesome for testing / staging before you purchase the license from publishers for live use.

    It’s basically the price you pay (in labor) for free premium plugins. I doubt anyone would be motivated enough to keep a system like that updated.

    I’m guessing they modify the code on each new plugin update to make it more difficult to crack. I noticed ‘The Events Calendar’ a popular WordPress events plugin routes pretty much all of the data through their website so you basically have to buy a subscription. Makes sense because of the GPL license… they don’t want people using their stuff for free & most of all using it free LEGALLY lol.

    My rocket subscription renews in a few days so I will attempt to get it working and post results.

    Many premium WordPress plugins are switching to subscription models that link to publishers’ sites for verification. The ACF Pro plugin you downloaded from here is up to date and an exact match of source code, but it will not interact with http://www.advancedcustomfields.com for license verification. You could probably just tweak the plugin a bit to remove the license key popups. If there are features that require it to be connected to the publisher’s site – then you are basically out of luck.

    This repository contains the latest source code for many paid plugins but no license keys. You can buy a yearly subscription from the ACF website itself if you want a license key.

    Hope that helps

    Yeah I can’t find a way to crack it. I guess they are smart and change the activation options on each update.

    Almost worth paying for… it’s so much easier than using W3 and having to add all the extra plugins to make it work the same way.

    I’m trying to think of what’s better… Imagify + WpRocket (.webp support, easy analytics/sitemap caching, easy cdn/cloudflare/sucuri options, etc.) or WPMUDEV + Smush Pro (.webp support, pro image cdn, hummingbird).

    I may give both a try and see. The only thing I dislike about Smush Pro compared to Imagify is the URLs on the .webp,.jpg,.png images… it uses WPMUDEV’s CDN url and you can’t add a SEO-friendly URL like you can with Imagify. Although I’m not really sure a cdn.gpldl.com is any better than 03945sfgwafrgerf.wpmudevcdn.com if they are being indexed correctly by in your sitemap.

    Same here, anyone have any luck?

    The plugin authors seem to be getting forceful about making people register with their cloud platform.

    On a similar plugin (Eventbrite Tickets Add-on) and (The Events Calendar) plugin, in general, they got rid of the legacy imports option to make people use their API importer.

    If the plugin works as intended (4.7.5) and shows the error messages you are fine though. Just use a plugin like (Wp Hide Plugin Warning and Error Messages). Most paid plugins you use without a license will show an error but will work fine.

    Looks like the local WooCommerce Yoast plugin was updated a couple days ago – however the non-WooCommerce Yoast SEO plugin on the other page is still not the correct plugin.
