Let my site die, now trying to bring it back

[MikeLayne]

I’ll be the first to admit I am an idiot with this stuff. But I had enough experience to create a portfolio page when job hunting a couple of years ago.

Well, I got a job, did not need the website anymore, so I just let it die.

Fast forward 2 years, I’m now starting my own photography business and want to create a simple portfolio page for myself. I am trying to use the theme I purchased for this new page, but am running into a couple of problems that I have no idea how to fix. One is just having all the proper downloads re-downloaded (The purchase code isn’t working for the Slider Rev plugin activation, for example)

I did switch the domain registry on apex to this new domain, but does anyone else have an idea of what I should do next?

Any help is appreciated! Thank you for helping this not so knowledgable guy out! I just want to get this business page going!

Just wondering if the purchase code for the X theme (which included the plugins at the time) isn’t the correct code for reregistering the plugins themselves…in which case I need to find if the redownloaded theme zip has the codes in it.

Or maybe I am completely wrong and have no idea what I am talking about.

Hi @MikeLayne From my understanding the plugins that comes with the theme will work with out being registered. However they will only update to the current version that Themeco has approved to update to as they are bundled with the theme.

You should be able to ignore any registration warnings with the bundled plugins that come with X or Pro and they should still work just fine.

If you want the extras that come in certain plugins and up to date plugins you can always purchase a seperate license key from the specific vendor of that plugin. Example: if you have slider revolution and would like the extra features you can buy an activation key on codecanyon here: https://codecanyon.net/item/slider-revolution-responsive-wordpress-plugin/2751380?s_rank=1
