Hi there!
We’re using WPEngine’s Smart Plugin Manager for automatic updates to WordPress plugins.
Based on the documentation (https://documentation.ajaxsearchpro.com/plugin-updates/automatic-updates/activation-on-development-and-staging-environments) we’ve added the license key to our production WordPress instance for Ajax Search Pro.
According to the above referenced rules, it seems this single license should also work for auto-updates on staging and development instances, but we’re finding that isn’t the case. It only seems to work on a single instance at a time.
The production instance is http://successacademies.org/ and the non-production instances are https://develop.successacademies.org/ and http://staging.successacademies.org/
Do you have any advice or is there something we’re missing here in the configuration?
Cheers,
Geoff
Hi,
The auto updater server tries to check the origin server URL agains the license code, and if common subdomains are used, then it will allow the license to remain active (as if it was active on the main domain).
It is a fairly problematic process alltogether, in most cases it works, in others it dont – depending on if the origin can be determined. Determining the origin is a whole other topic, it is a nightmare on it’s own.I have made a few corrections on the server, but I can’t promise it will recognize the correct origins.
If you are using a staging environment, which is worked on and then pushed to the live, then having it active there is sufficient. License activation is not neccessary for the plugin to function correctly, it is only used for automatic updates.
Best,
