Common Questions

Do I really need the free plugin?

Yes. Crafty Links Pro depends on the free version and will not run without it.

Can I delete the free plugin after installing Pro?

No. Keep both plugins active.

Can I use the same license on multiple sites?

Yes — the number of sites depends on the license you purchased.

You can see:

  • Sites used / allowed
  • Expiration date

in My Account → Licenses.


Troubleshooting

“Plugin could not be activated”

  • Make sure the free Crafty Links plugin is active
  • Make sure you uploaded the Pro ZIP file, not a folder

“License key is invalid”

  • Copy & paste the key again (no spaces)
  • Make sure the site URL matches what you are activating

You’re All Set!
