I just contacted the author of the “Layer Slider WP” and he said that if we (authors) buy an extended license for (example) slider plugin, we can redistribuite that slider into an our theme. So this feature hasn’t changed yet.
Very good news

As far as I understood from the “New Marketplace License Discussion” post, I think this is not possible as long as the author of “Layer Slider WP” is an exclusive author.

no, there are new rules in effect, read the new license descriptions - it has to be an agreement between the authors, no license required, as it has to be an exclusive resell agreement (make your own terms) privately and nothing to do with Envato now.
This is what was said when I read the thread last night - haven’t checked since.

Are you sure? So i’m able to resell that item? Because he gave me his permissions to resell that if i buy the extended license!

Just because he’s saying that doesn’t mean it’s true.
As for as i understand the new policy this is not allowed. And i’m glad about it.
If authors build and sell a theme TF needs to make sure the authors themselfs build nice features, not just include premium plugins.
Otherwise the ‘authors’ could only build a bold wordpress theme that might as well just be a html template.
I hope there will be some proper clearifcation about this

Well, if that’s the case then the authors who make such agreements and licenses outside of Envato, then they can NOT be exclusive authors anymore with their items.
Otherwise everybody can also start selling their stuff anywhere else and say it’s some sort of extended license or whatever.
It shouldn’t be so hard really:
- Exclusive item? : Only TF
- No more premium exclusive plugins in themes
- Reject themes with premium themes included

You are right! I hope that too, because the actual article isn’t really claer

What I said came directly from staff in the new thread discussing the new licenses - however you bring up a very good point - indeed if an agreement is made for monetary gain by an exclusive author outside of the marketplace he would, according to the terms and conditions, be defaulting on his exclusivity.
Interesting and I would post this question in the license discussion thread for sure if you wish to get things cleared up as the answer will obviously have to come direct from Envato.
UPDATE: I just flagged for a staff reply

Thank you jonathan, i just posted on the official license discussion, but they all say different things with each other! It’s very so confusing! Wait for an Envato Staff answer
First post on this page. So if you have author permission you can purchase what Author want and use it. Just for example Author may ask you to purchase 10 extended licenses, or Author may ask you to transfer money directly. So you just need to talk with plugin’s Author
jonathan01 saidQuestion: how will you allow your buyers to upgrade with new versions of the plugin for any of these ‘premium’ sliders - as a buyer cannot download when there is an update and this could cause their sliders to stop working in the future if something breaks due to a jQuery update or WP update etc.
Just curious as this is why I do not include any plugins from CC.
Jonathan
Simple, we as the author will grab the latest update of that plugin and re-packaged it with our theme, outline it in the changelog and upload to TF. At least thats how I’m doing it, with my themes that were grandfathered in before the new license changes.
Revolution slider gets hammered by Google Insights for the size of its .js files. Never used the other one, may try it.
I use neither one. I prefer Slider PRO available here at CC. Each to their own.
So I really appreciate when theme authors who do it this way ( or similar ) - http://tgmpluginactivation.com/
Otherwise, it’s usually just extra theme bloat when it doesn’t get used. It’s almost like the addition of crap ware onto a new store bought PC that you never get the chance to opt out of. Ha, ha.

That’s exactly the way I do it, as should any author including plugins with their themes.

Good on you, Chris. Sadly, it’s not been very prevalent in my experience. I’ll try to remember you for future purchases now.

This is indeed a very nice way and maybe also the best for the plugin authors. Let theme buyers buy a regular licence if they want to use the plugins… or would that be unclear for buyers?
So I read all pages but still don’t get it. Is it allowed or not to include sliders from CodeCanyon in themes/templates?
vazz saidSo I read all pages but still don’t get it. Is it allowed or not to include sliders from CodeCanyon in themes/templates?
Yes, if the author of the item allows it. No, if he/she doesn’t.
Ok, kriskorn, thanks so much.
