When you purchase an activation key, you can use the product for as long as you want. Future updates and bug fixes may be limited according to the purchase agreement.

If not stated otherwise you purchase a product for a one-time license fee with no subscriptions or recurring payments.

If the error persists, create a new Support thread or send an Email to support@them.es explaining the error.

Short answer: No.

Long answer: First of all, once you purchased an activation key you are permitted to install the plugin on your own WordPress instance(s).

Incorporating plugin specific code in a theme is a bad idea because it prevents installing important (security) updates.

Automatic updates are limited to the number of possible installs according to the license plan you purchased. License keys must never be shared with third-parties or included within the code.

Once your order is complete you should receive an Email with a link to set your password. If you didn’t receive the Email, please try to reset the password them.es Account.

Afterwards you can log in (them.es Account) and select the download tab to find all available downloads.

Please make sure that you successfully activated the plugin or theme by entering the activation key.

If auto-updates still don’t work, send us an Email to support@them.es with the following details:

– Your them.es username
– Domain
– PHP version of your server
– WordPress version
– Product version

By the way. You can always download the latest version of the product you purchased by logging in to them.es Account.

Billy

When setting up Billy initially you can start from a specific invoice number series by defining your current invoice number.

It is recommended to run both systems in parallel for a specific time until you feel confident with your new billing workflow.

Importing existing data like invoices, quotes and contacts would be possible as well but probably you would have to consult a WordPress developer to help you achieve this.

Basic PDF styling is possible in the PRO version. Go to the Customizer and access Billy > PDF-Export. There you will find a field “CSS” where you can style the HTML elements.

E.g. Change the font-size and add a border to the tables:

body { font-size: 11pt; } .wp-block-table tbody tr, .wp-block-table tbody tr td, .wp-block-table tbody tr th { border: 1pt solid; } .wp-block-table tfoot tr td { border: 1pt solid; }

Unfortunately linking post translations with WPML is not supported at the moment due to technical interferences while saving the post meta data.

If you need to translate Billy [PRO] posts you could give Polylang a try. It’s free and really easy to setup.

Please make sure that the directory /mpdf/tmp is writable by the server. This directory is needed for temporary storage of important PDF data.
