What is the Patch File, and How to Use it?

< 1 min read

While most items will function fully out of the box, others may require modification to work correctly.

As a true GPL enthusiast, we value and prioritize clarity, and we strive to provide you with the original item without modification. If an item requires its code to be modified to work, we prefer to add the custom modification as an additional file, rather than hard-coding it into the item itself.

The Patch file (attached to some items that require modification to work) is a small piece of necessary code that bypasses the activation restrictions of the item, allowing it to be used fully.

To enable the patch, activate our Plugin Manager on your website, navigate to the purchased item, and click on the Enable Premium Version button.

Screenshot

Once enabled, the item (plugin or theme) should be fully activated. In some cases, an extra step is required, where you need to enter a license key in the patched plugin or theme (you should be able to activate it with any key).
