License FAQs


Account FAQs

Information about accessing your license account and managing your licenses can be found at: License Account 

Where do I enter my license key?

Please see this article: https://www.echoknowledgebase.com/documentation/how-to-install-kb-add-on/     Step 7

Note: If you are using a multi-site installation, you will need to enter the license key on each individual site. Each license key is only valid for each website. It cannot  be used in the network site. For example, if you have three individual websites, you will need three license keys one for each.

Will My Add-on Work with an Inactive or Expired License?

Yes, add-on plugins are designed to continue functioning even if your license key expires. However, due to the nature of software updates, such as WordPress and other plugins, there is the possibility that the add-on will eventually stop working due to other updates within WordPress or related plugins. For this reason, it is highly recommended that you renew your license, but it is optional.

Do I Need a License for My Local, Test or Staging Site?

License activations are tied to URLs.  In order to make it so you may activate licenses on local development servers (servers that run on your laptop or desktop) some common URLs and IP addresses to not count against your license activation count:

  • localhost
  • 10.0.0.0/8
  • 172.16.0.0/12
  • 192.168.0.0/16
  • *.dev
  • *.local

You may activate your licenses on any of the above URLs or IP addresses and it won’t count against your activation limit.

If that doesn’t work, you can set your site to staging using this wp-config entry:
define( ‘WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE’, ‘staging’ );

If you are unsure of how to edit your wp-config.php file, please consult the official WordPress help page on editing the file.

Note: you must place this code above the line that says:

/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

My License Shows “This license is not active for this URL.”

The message means that you have moved or changed your site URL. You will need to update URL the license is associated with.

Find the email address that you used to purchase the plugins and then:

  1. If you have not yet registered on our website, setup your account here: https://www.echoknowledgebase.com/register/
  2. Login in to your account at https://www.echoknowledgebase.com/your-account/
  3. Once logged in, go to the License Key Page
  4. For each license, click on the Manage Sites

 

How Do I Receive the 50% Renewal Discount?

As long as you renew your license before it expires you will receive the 50% renewal discount. If your license already expired, you will still receive a 20% discount when you renew.

I Cannot Verify My License Because My Site is Behind a Firewall

WordPress plugin needs Internet access in order to display notifications about the new version of the plugin and to allow it to download and install the new version from the WordPress repository. Similarly, KB add-on requires access to the Internet in order to check for a new version and to allow it to download and install the new add-on version from our repository.

If you cannot verify your license and plugin version because your website is not connected to the Internet or has a firewall preventing access, you need to update your add-on manually.

You also have to ignore the license error (the add-on will work even with the warning) and manually check if a new version of the add-on is available by logging in to your license account (see above for instructions).

How to upgrade license from 1 to 3

a) for an individual add-on, please go to your account and then go the License Keys page and upgrade your license there.

b) for a bundle, you will have to purchase the 3 sites bundle and we will provide you a discount code. We are not able to prorate your purchase if you still have remaining time before renewal.

  1. Go to your account page: https://www.echoknowledgebase.com/your-account/ ( Make sure you login with the email you used to make the original purchase )
  2. On your Account Dashboard click on the Your Subscriptions button.

FAQs Shortcode Parameters

Copy the URL link to this section to share

The FAQ shortcode will only display the listed categories and not their child categories. However, if a user adds a child category ID, it will appear in the list of categories as if it were a parent category.

See comments for parameter descriptions.

WordPress Shortcode
// kb_id - The ID of the Knowledge Base to use.
// category_ids - The ID's of the Categories to display.
// class - The top level class to style the FAQs. See below for additional style options.
// preset - Custom Predefined styling
%crel_bracket_open%epkb-faqs kb_id="2" category_ids="50,54,59,57,60,61,62,65,66" class=""%crel_bracket_close%

FAQs Content Display Mode

Copy the URL link to this section to share

Please note that the styling and appearance of the articles within the FAQs shortcode may not be consistent within the Knowledge Base articles and the FAQs due to the issue of pulling CSS and JS files from those articles themselves. However, these options may help you achieve the desired look and feel for your knowledge base.

Styling and look: There are a two options you can consider if you want to alter the styling and appearance of the articles displayed in the FAQs:

  • Use Gutenberg, the default WordPress editor, for your knowledge base articles. This will allow the articles to display correctly in the FAQs because Gutenberg inserts all user-controlled styling directly into the HTML.
  • Use the "excerpt" option to only output the excerpt.
FAQs shortcode used inside KB article

When utilizing the FAQs shortcode within a KB article, the FAQs will not display the same content as the KB article in which it is embedded. This is to avoid redundancy and ensure a more streamlined user experience.
