chainbreakr saidorganicbee saidpixelgrade said@chainbreakr You are doing it wrong. The client should be entering his username and own Secret API key. They should not be using yours. That way they only have access to their purchases.
He’s probably buying his client themes with his own account, not setting on up for each(like you prob should be)
This is a really cumbersome approach and no reason I should have to create an Envato account for every WP project I do that uses a theme from here.
It clearly says in the license agreement:
2.You are licensed to use the Item to create one single End Product for yourself or for one client (a “single application”), and the End Product can be distributed for Free.Secondly, it also makes it difficult having 50+ client accounts when a support request is made. This is MUCH better managed if I can keep all purchases under my account. The reality is that if I’m setting up/building a child theme based on a theme here for a client, it’s a client that already struggles enough to get through basic WP editing and is paying me to handle everything from updates to site management to sorting support issues.
Yes it makes it easier for you, not for your clients if you ever go MIA or they decide not to use you’re services.
I guess after the 100s of themes I’ve purchased for clients I’ve never needed to asked for support so its not really an issue for management.
Either way, you can use the API to just update 1, its not that difficult to code. (Also the dev behind this no longer works for envato)
