There are two licensing options to choose from when you purchase Motors from ThemeForest. The Regular License, and the Extended License. The billing process and licensing term are fully managed by Envato Ltd. and we don’t have any control over this matter.

If your end product (a website where Motors has been installed) is going to be free to the end-user then a Regular License is what you need. An Extended License is required if you are planning to sell the end product.

Common Licensing Questions

• If I want to use Motors on a second website, do I need to buy another license? Yes. Themeforest license allows you to use Motors only on one ended website. In order to use it on a second website, it requires you to buy another license.

• Can I use Motors on a test website, then move it to a live website when finished? Sure, you can keep the theme on a test/staging website to build it, then move it to the live website once you’re finished.

• Can I keep a test website and a live website with one Regular License purchase? Yes, you are allowed to keep one test/staging website and one live website with one Regular License.

• Can I use WordPress Multisite with a single Regular License? Yes. Since the multisite websites are located under one domain, it is allowed to use WordPress Multisite under a Regular License.

There are hundreds of thousands of web hosts out there, the vast majority of which meet the Motors System Requirements, and choosing one from the crowd can be a chore. Just like flowers need the right environment to grow, Motors works best when it’s in a rich hosting environment.

Other recommended hosting services:

• Cloudways

• WP Engine

• SiteGround

• Bluehost

• MediaTemple

• DreamHost

• HostGator

• GoDaddy

One license for multiple websites

One license can be applied in a multisite installation. The only requirement is that the sub-domains, sub-folders of this site should belong to one single end product.

• Create a domain (website.com), which becomes be your primary (parent) domain. Then attach subdomains (sub-domain.website.com) or subfolders (website.com/sub-domain) and use the same license key to register the Motors instances on the primary domain.

• Or use WordPress Multisite feature to create Motors theme instances and register them using one license key.

Since we develop only premium themes to meet the high standards and expectations of our customers, the Motors theme is a bit more demanding on resources than the average basic theme. The Motors Theme is designed and developed for use with WordPress 6.0 or higher.

Extending and Renewing Item Support

The support options available to you depend on when you make the support purchase.

• A support upgrade is 6 months of additional support that can be purchased at the time of buying the item.

• A support extension is 6 months of support that can be purchased at any time after the initial purchase of the item, provided the current support period hasn’t expired.

• A support renewal is 6 months of support that can be purchased after any existing support for an item has expired.

To be eligible to extend or renew the support, you must have less than 6 months of support remaining and the author must still be supporting the item. You will then be able to purchase a support extension or renewal from the Downloads or Item page. The cost of support is determined by the type of support and is calculated as a percentage of the item price (the price paid to the author for the item license).

How do I renew or extend my support?

In order to extend or renew an item's support offering, you must have less than 6 months of the existing support period remaining, and also the author must still be offering support on their item.

To renew the support component on an item, please follow these steps:

• Log in to your account

• Hover over your username and click 'Downloads' from the drop-down menu.

• The Downloads section displays a list of all the items purchased using your account.

• Click on 'Renew support now!' or ‘Extend now’ next to the item you wish to renew the item support for, and that’s it!

Why can’t I extend or renew support for an item?

There are two reasons why you are unable to extend or renew support:

1. You have more than 6 months of support remaining on your current support grant; or

2. The author has been nominated to no longer support the item.

Theme is missing the style.css stylesheet error

A common issue that can occur when installing WordPress themes is “The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.” error message being displayed when uploading or activating the theme.

One of the reasons you may receive this error is if you have uploaded the incorrect file. You have 2 options for downloading your theme.

1. Installable WordPress file only.

2. All files and documentation (full zip folder). You will need to extract and locate the installable WordPress file.

The link you followed has expired

The quickest way to fix "The link you followed has expired" error is by increasing the file upload size, PHP memory, and execution time limits for your website.

There are multiple ways to do that. We will show you all of them, and you can choose the one that looks easier or the one that works on your hosting environment.

Method 1. Fix by increasing limits in .htaccess file

For this method, you will need to edit the .htaccess file by using an FTP client or the File Manager app in cPanel.

Simply connect to your website using FTP and edit the .htaccess file.

Now, you need to add the following code at the bottom of your .htaccess file.

php_value upload_max_filesize 64M 
php_value post_max_size 64M
php_value max_execution_time 600
php_value max_input_time 600

Don’t forget to save your changes and upload the file back to your website.

Method 2. Fix by increasing limits in php.ini file

The php.ini file is a configuration file used by PHP and WordPress. You'll need to connect to your WordPress site using an FTP client and look for php.ini file in your site’s root folder.

Most users are on a shared hosting account, so they may not find it in their site’s root folder. In that case, you need to create a blank php.ini file using a plain text editor like Notepad and upload it to your website.

Now edit the php.ini file and add the following code inside it.

upload_max_filesize = 128M
post_max_size = 128M
max_execution_time = 300

Don’t forget to save your changes and upload the file back to your website.

You can now visit your website and try to upload the theme or plugin file. The error would disappear, and you should be able to upload the file.

If it doesn’t, then try to increase file limits to match the file size you are trying to upload.

After purchasing the Motors on ThemeForest, you'll need to from your ThemeForest account. Login to your account and navigate to the Downloads menu in the profile icon at the top-right corner.

How to Become a Dealer?

Private sellers have the option to change their user role either by making a Membership Payment through PayPal or by subscribing to a Pricing Plan specifically designed for Dealers.

Initially, the site administrator should create a pricing plan for dealers:

On the user account, users can click on "UPGRADE PLAN" to purchase a new pricing plan.

The user will be redirected to the page with Pricing plans and should select the plan labeled "For Dealers".

When a user with a "Simple user" role purchases a pricing plan that is intended for "Dealer" roles, their role will automatically be changed to "STM Dealer" upon successful payment.

After becoming the Dealer, the Company info should be updated in profile settings.
