  3. A green “License activated” notice confirms success.
  4. Under Plugins, confirm both WB Listora and WB Listora Pro are listed as active.

Tips

Section titled “Tips”
  • Do not delete WB Listora (Free) after installing Pro - Pro is an add-on, not a replacement.
  • Local development environments (Local by Flywheel, DevKinsta, etc.) skip remote license validation automatically. You’ll see a “local mode” notice instead of an error.
  • If you manage multiple sites, each site requires a separate license activation. Deactivate on one site before activating on another if your license has a site limit.
  • Auto-updates: once your license is active, Pro updates appear in Dashboard → Updates alongside your other plugins.

Common issues

Section titled “Common issues”
Symptom Fix
Pro menu items not appearing Ensure WB Listora (Free) is active - Pro requires it
“Invalid license key” error Double-check the key from your account at wbcomdesigns.com; copy-paste rather than typing
ZIP upload fails Check upload_max_filesize in your PHP settings; increase to at least 32MB
Pro settings tabs missing Deactivate and reactivate WB Listora Pro. SEO and White Label show only while their feature is switched on under Settings → Features.
