Theme Registration<\/h3>\n

Once XStore is installed, the next step is to register your purchase using the provided purchase code. Registering XStore is essential to enable auto-updates for the theme and plugins, install demos, and import studio blocks. To register XStore, simply navigate to the XStore Dashboard<\/b>, click on Welcome<\/b>, and then select Theme Registration. <\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to the Envato licensing terms and conditions<\/a> the usage of a license is limited to only one website. However, XStore provides the option of 1 live site licensing and 1 staging site<\/b> licensing for testing purposes per purchase code. This means that you can set up 1 staging site using a single license. Please note that if you intend to have multiple live sites, you will need to acquire a separate license for each individual site. <\/b><\/p>\n

You can purchase an additional copy of the XStore theme by following this link<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Staging Domain patterns:<\/b><\/h2>\n

To use the license for a staging website, we have developed a set of patterns to make it easier for you. Here is a list of patterns that match the criteria for staging sites. Please choose one of these patterns for your staging site, and it will be in compliance with our licensing terms.<\/p>\n

localhost<\/b>
localhost*<\/b>
127.0.0.0<\/b>
127.0.0.1<\/b>
test.*<\/b>
local.*<\/b>
dev.*<\/b>
staging.*<\/b>
website.*<\/b>
*.test<\/b>
*.local<\/b>
*.dev<\/b>
*.staging<\/b>
*.wpengine.com<\/b>
*.wpcomstaging.com<\/b>
*.flywheelstaging.com<\/b>
*.dreamhosters.com<\/b>
*.kinsta.cloud<\/b>
*.pantheonsite.io<\/b>
*.myftpupload.com<\/b>
*.cloudwaysapps.com<\/b>
*.staging.wpmu.host<\/b>
*.pressdns.com<\/b>
*WooCommerce*<\/b>
*Wordpress*<\/b>
*woocommerce*<\/b>
*wordpress*<\/b>
*.demo<\/b>
demo*<\/b>
backup.*<\/b><\/div>\n

So, for example, if you choose the pattern dev.<\/code> or test.<\/code> , your staging site URL would look like this:<\/p>\n

dev.yourdomain.com<\/code> OR test.yourdomain.com<\/code><\/p>\n

By using these patterns, you can easily set up your staging site and ensure it aligns with the licensing terms.<\/p>\n
