Q: Bought the deal, and surprised to find out that it only covers 10 WordPress sites, not unlimited (agency).

1. Is this an error?
2. Crucial to include the number of Wordpress sites covered in the description

A: Dear Sejler,

Thank you for choosing our Reading Indicator plugin and reaching out to us for support.

Based on your description, it seems like you've configured everything correctly. The issue you're experiencing might be related to a specific setting or combination of settings.

Here is a screenshot of how it is configured on our demo site https://nimb.ws/0OvWujh
And here is results:
This page without an indicator https://reading-indicator.42theme.com/page-without-reading-indicator/
While on other pages there is an indicator https://reading-indicator.42theme.com/page-with-reading-indicator/

To troubleshoot this further, I recommend the following steps:
Disable all conditions in the Assignments section and then re-enable them one by one to see if the issue persists with a specific condition.
If the problem persists, you can grant me temporary access to your site's admin panel at support@42theme.com. I'll do my best to assist you with the settings and troubleshoot the issue directly.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation in resolving this matter. We're here to help you get the most out of our plugin.

Best regards,
Alexander Khmelnitskiy

Q: Hi, where can I find the licence key or is this a standalone version with all functions activated?

I apologise if this is a stupid question :)

We understand that some authors choose to restrict functionality through license keys or purchase codes, but we've taken a different approach to make things simpler for our users.

Moreover, we're excited to let you know that an updated version of the Reading Indicator is on the verge of release. In the next few days, you can expect an even better version with enhanced features and more robust code.

A: I can't reply to reply, so I'll write here in the general thread

To: SumoGio

Yes, you are absolutely correct. You can use the plugin on any site and receive updates when new versions are released. However, we encourage obtaining a separate license for each domain to support the ongoing development of the product. It's worth noting that we do not impose restrictions on plugin functionality through activation keys, domain bindings, or any other limitations.

Thank you for your question, and if you have any further inquiries, feel free to ask. We're here to help!
