Organize &amp; Protect the bbPress Forum<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you activate the KeyGator plugin into your website, You&#8217;ll be able to add your sellers accounts (<em><a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"\/kb\/?p=56\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">See Multiple Seller License<\/a><\/em>) and their projects, Then associate each project with its bbPress forum, So all KeyGator&#8217;s bbPress forums will be locked for all visitors but the verified buyers of a certain project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-luminous-vivid-amber-color has-very-dark-gray-background-color has-text-color has-background\">B. Protect &amp; Activate WordPress Projects Licenses<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>KeyGator generates another lightweight WordPress Plugin called <strong>KeyGator (Client) <\/strong>Plugin (<em>Whereas the <strong>Client<\/strong> is your Author username<\/em>) to be integrated into your WordPress project (<strong>Theme or Plugin<\/strong>) to connect the main <strong>KeyGator<\/strong> (<em>That Installed in your website<\/em>) using <strong>WordPress REST API<\/strong> to verify your client&#8217;s license and receive the current <strong><em>Item&#8217;s Secret Content (Defined Below)<\/em><\/strong> which allows the client to unlock and use the project&#8217;s premium features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Item&#8217;s Secret Content: <\/strong>Is one of the <strong>KeyGator&#8217;s CPTs<\/strong> which has a generic array called <strong>Sendback Content<\/strong>, by default it&#8217;s a list of plugins (<em>You can create your own sendback content using <a aria-label=\"plugin's filters (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"\/kb\/?p=438\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">plugin&#8217;s filters<\/a> &#8211; DO NOT Worry<\/em>) to be send to your client&#8217;s website after verification license process done successfully, This content will be received by your copy of <strong>KeyGator (Client)<\/strong> Plugin integrated into your project to be installed using <a aria-label=\"TGM Plugin Activation (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"http:\/\/tgmpluginactivation.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TGM Plugin Activation<\/a> (<em>Or you can perform any other process as you wish<\/em>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-luminous-vivid-amber-color has-very-dark-gray-background-color has-text-color has-background\">C. Verify Non-WordPress Projects Licenses<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Non-WordPress developer Authors, KeyGator has Frontend Pages (<em>Require Registration<\/em>) to be accessed and your client have to <strong>Authenticate<\/strong> his Envato&#8217;s buyer account then <strong>Verify<\/strong> his licenses done from your store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now your client will be able to submit support tickets in the forums associated with his verified items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the KeyGator (Client) Plugin and How it Works?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>KeyGator (Client) Plugin is a lightweight WordPress plugin <strong>prefixed<\/strong> with your Envato&#8217;s username to be unique, So the same client can use multiple authors plugins in the same website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example:<\/strong> the KeyGator (Client) Plugin for author <strong>Oxibug<\/strong> will be named <strong>KeyGator (Oxibug)<\/strong> and will be under namespace <strong>envatocastle_oxibug<\/strong> as well as functions, classes and global variables will be prefixed with <strong>oxibug<\/strong>, So there&#8217;s no way to be conflict with other authors&#8217; plugins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So in case a client using a WordPress theme from <strong>Oxibug<\/strong> and a plugin <strong>Tetoworx<\/strong>, He will be able to use the <strong><strong>KeyGator<\/strong> (Oxibug)<\/strong> and <strong><strong>KeyGator<\/strong> (Tetoworx)<\/strong> simultaneously in the same website with no conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Now Let&#8217;s: <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Start Configuring Your Website (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"\/kb\/docs\/envato-castle\/1-configure-your-website\/\" target=\"_blank\">Start Configuring Your Website<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":13,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","doc_tag":[],"class_list":["post-53","docs","type-docs","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Introduction - Knowledge Base<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/oxibug.com\/kb\/docs\/keygator\/introduction\/\" class=\"yoast-seo-meta-tag\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" class=\"yoast-seo-meta-tag\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" class=\"yoast-seo-meta-tag\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Introduction - Knowledge Base\" class=\"yoast-seo-meta-tag\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Welcome to KeyGator, The Swiss Army Knife of the Envato Keygate Solutions.
