Wp-Script Downtime Thread
 

The licensing server is affecting this theme's ability to work.

Any advice to the developer for a work around solution that won't mess up websites if their server goes down?

Post any updates related to this theme and plugin here please.

This is such a fvcking stupid system... Now everyone's earning is affected because his server went down. So what happens when(God formids)he dies? Every one who is using his theme is fvcked?

This is not some kind of a dishonest advertising or a try to hijack the thread. Please consider it as an open message to all the software developers who read GFY.

Do you guys understand that if something will happen to you or to the domain of your licensing server, all your customers will be unable to use their scripts/programs anymore? I also love money (show me someone who don't), but I do understand that since I do all the job alone, if something happens to me or to my domain or if my server will be down, it will not affect my customers at all. The scripts they have paid me for will continue working w/o any problems.

Please think about it and maybe you will decide fix your licensing routines to avoid such problems in future.

Peace.

These are my exact thoughts. I would even pay extra right now to have my theme unlocked and not calling back. It's a good theme, but the server thing sucks.

To make it worse, their support is closed and now the dashboard is saying that I am using the free version so my ads aren't showing and the customization that I did aren't showing either. Days of ad revenue down the drain and for the most inconceivable reason!!! I will be switching ASAP

Let us know what you decide to do please.

And I posted this thread for the developer to see on his twitter.

Very bad indeed

KVS in my head right now or xwpthemes.com ...........

Im so Fucking Mad not even funny :1orglaugh

I know shit happen sometimes but dammmmm.

Life sucks.

See Sig!

:2 cents:

Hasn't it happened to NATS years ago? TMM is a robust company so no problem with them. But running a serious business with tools that can stop working overnight because of a licensing server downtime is quite scary.

The main page for https://www.wp-script.com

Is down. Hopefully the guy figures this out and comes up with a solution to avoid this.

works fine for me.

Yes now it's up

I still can't add videos. Anyone with the same problem?

All of us

My existing videos and theme still work well.
What we can NOT do now is:
1) Activate licence in new sites
2) Import videos
I am thinking about switching to other scripts.
Any suggestions guys?

At least they have a functional orderingsystem unlike you which makes it possible to purchase the script. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

-------------

I didn't get it. Did you try to use a stolen CC to purchase my scripts via 2checkout.com? That's a very bad idea, dude...

Hint: if you've got a personal PayPal account or can afford your own Visa/MC/Discover/Dianer Club/American Express/JCB card, just click the "Buy CyberSEO 7" button at the bottom of this page: http://www.cyberseo.net/ and you will enter the shiny magical "orderingsystem" ;)

Down for me in the UK :2 cents:

Possibly wp-script is under DDOS attack ?

Last update they are still working on it.

Out of curiosity how hard is it to get another theme built for WordPress if this was a permanent problem?

There are many Wordpress tube themes that you can buy and use immediately.

Testing one now.

He did some support on my site a few weeks ago and enjoyed the speed... told him to move over to vacares.. he should of listened :P

Can agree with that. VaCares would have taken care of him nicely.

In fact, if we could page Sly, maybe he would consider switching and possibly working out a contingency plan in case the unthinkable should happen (death, financials, deserting the project).

So like if something happens and the server is fucked maybe someone like Sly could have intervened on his behalf. Probably wouldn't be that hard to step in and keep the thing going.

Would be so sweet. Think about that developer. :)

Hard to say what his current issue is with the details he has provided on Twitter. If he is interested in making a switch, we do have a few servers open right now and could begin migration tomorrow. Of course migration would be dependent on whether or not his current server can be accessed or if he has a local/remote copy of all files as well.

Would love to see him make the switch. He's probably going to have to pay a bit more but the uptime and support is going to be worth it. Plus, he won't piss off his customers as much. Just a thought.

I'm changing the theme on my latest project. Wasn't that hard but a little bit of a PITA. Still working away.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh switch to his own choice! not yours! :disgust:disgust

Lol, you're right up to him. :thumbsup

If the solution he has isn't working he will lose customers. Even the sales pages are down.

Completely switched one domain to a theme that won't fuck up. I will keep my other big site on WPscript, but I think something needs to change in how the business is handled, IMHO.

If you switch to new theme, how can you import more videos? Are your existing videos playable with new theme?

Mechbunny doesn't "phone home" and client sites stay up regardless of the status of our servers - though what this guy should have done if he does want his script to phone home is is have incrementally updating license files grabbed at installation time then once every 7 days that expire after 10 days after issuing or something - that way there's a 3 day offset during which his server can be down.

He could've use a fail-safe where if his server doesn't respond, premium features continue working. This system with 1 point of failure is pure nonsense. Thousands of websites not working because 1 server went down.

I manually edited every post on the one site I have. I only had 80 videos on it.

The other site will still have the WP script because it has 1200 videos I'm not going to be manually touching or editing lol.

Indeed it will be tough editing thousands of videos ;)
If you know any alternative scripts, just let us know :D
