Apply White Label Settings from wp-config.php File

Apply White Label Settings from wp-config.php File

By now, we all know how to White Label UAE? It is also known that the white label settings page can be hidden from the dashboard. However, it reappears when the plugin is re-activated on the website.

We were asked whether these white label settings can be hidden permanently. Especially agencies who serve many clients would not want them to know that the plugin or theme used to build their website is a third party white labeled plugin.

Therefore, we』ve introduced a method that will allow you to White Label the plugin and hide the White Label settings – and keep them hidden, no matter what activity the user performs with the plugin or on the website. This means that you can white label the plugin permanently from the wp-config.php file and these settings will not be changed from the WordPress dashboard settings.

To achieve the above scenario we have added a White Label Constants to UAEL from version 1.5.1.

Below is the list for the  White Label Settings and their respective White Label Constants.

How Can I Upgrade the License?

How Can I Upgrade the License?

Upgrade to Lifetime:

Customers need to pay only the difference amount.Example – If a user wants to upgrade from Ultimate Addons ($69 / Year) to Ultimate Addons ($249 / Lifetime), he will have to pay only $180 ($249 – $69)

That』s about it

Upgrade to Annual:

In case if you upgrade to annual license, the original date of license expiry is considered, regardless of the date of upgrade. The amount you will be charged will be based on the price difference and the time left in your current subscription before renewal.

Example: A customer purchased an annual license of Ultimate Addons ($69 / Year) on January 1, 2017. On July 1, 2017, the customer upgrades his license to Growth Bundle ($249 / Year). The price difference is $180 and there are 6 months left in his current subscription period. The customer will pay $90 to upgrade. On January 1, 2018, the subscription will renew and the customer will pay the license renewal amount and own an active license key until January 1, 2019.

The expiration date of the license will not change; an upgraded license will still expire on the original expiration date whether prorated or not.

How to Upgrade?

Just visit the upgrades page on our store to see your available options.
