    Hi,

    Same thing for me too : just bought the plugin and problem to activate it
    HTTP Error: cURL error 28: connect() timed out!

    Thanks too!

    Hello,
    This is likely a server issue.
    Please contact your host and ask if they can help you increase the timeout or if there is a block on cUrl connections?

    It also may help to deactivate all plugins except WooCommerce & WC Vendors until you’ve successfully installed Pro, so there aren’t other requests occurring while uploading Pro.

    My host is asking what are the plugin requirements?

    Hi @fervous can you let me know?

    bensp,
    The 300 for time limit should be sufficient.
    Are you still getting this error? Have you been able to successfully install and run WC Vendors Pro?
    If not, deactivate all plugins except WooCommerce & WC Vendors until you’ve successfully installed Pro, so there aren’t other requests occurring while uploading Pro, and see if you are able to get it loaded onto your site.
    Let me know..

    #50194

    I tried with all plugins deactivated but nothing changed. My host says they can’t increase to 300 because the php.ini is not editable on shared web hosting.

    How can I do? This is the first it happens and I’m running many websites with this offer.

    #50214

    You have been able to activate and run Pro, correct?

    #50235

    Yes the plugin is running, even if I have some bugs and issues.

    But I can’t activate it and I keep on having the message “The WC Vendors Pro license key has not been activated, so you will be unable to get automatic updates or support! Click here to activate your support and updates license key.”

    Hello,
    If you use the key in your account, it is not accepting it?
    If so, let me know and I can issue you a new key. Use your email that you used when purchasing Pro, and the key. Activate it y going to: wp-admin > settings > WC Vendors Pro License
    https://www.wcvendors.com/my-account/downloads/

    Yes that’s what I already did and the key is not working, I still have that CURL ERROR.

    Feel free to send me a new key and I will try, thanks

    Would you please provide me with an admin login and password in a private reply so i can see if i can resolve this for you- or at least find out why these are not working on your site?
    Is your site live?

    Same issue here. No error message but only the notice: The WC Vendors Pro license key has not been activated, so you will be unable to get automatic updates or support! Click here to activate your support and updates license key.

    What to do now?

    We are working on this issue and will update with a fix as soon as possible.

    Hello,
    No- though the issue is reported and should be resolved.
    In the meantime, will you please provide me with an admin login & password in a private reply and I can try activating the key; I cannot currently generate a new key for your account
    Are you currently using WC Vendors Pro version 1.3.8?

    @BENJAMININGLEPATTERN-COM
    Hello,
    So both WC Vendors and WC Vendors Pro are the latest version, correct? (1.9.8 for WC Vendors, 1.3.9 for WC Vendors Pro)
    I am so sorry you are still having this issue.
    Can you check with your host to see if they are blocking outgoing cUrl ? Also, are you (or your host) using a firewall?
    Is WC Vendors Pro working properly for you otherwise?

    #57428

    Hi, yes latest version for both products. My host says they are not blocking anything. Everything seems working otherwise.

    Glenn,

    @NOSSIE2005

    I had to delete your response for your security.
    If you need to share private details, such as account info, you need to start YOUR OWN topic thread. The original author can see private replies.
    Private reply can be seen by the site admin (safe) AND also the original author of the post/topic.

    Info for the future. 😉

    Now, it sounds like you will need to manually update Pro. For some reason this is occurring with some installs recently.
    To manually update :
    1. back up your site (optional safe measure)
    2. download the latest Pro version from your account here: https://www.wcvendors.com/my-account/
    3. deactivate & delete your current WC Vendors Pro (info is stored in your database…)
    5. Immediately upload the Pro version 1.3.9 you downloaded from your my-account on here.
    6. Activate! ?
