    I bought a theme for my membership site in 2012. I was assured it would check license one time. Well, its 2017 and the owner of the theme and license server has vanished. I am willing to pay anyone who can look at the code and remove the license check. I have 800 members that can not login because of this jerk.

    I can provide the original receipt for proof of payment. I dont want anything free in life. I want my members to be able to log back in and I want what I paid for.

    Here is what I was told when I bought it

    Hi Jim,

    The license will be checked only on the first time you activate the software (theme). So that you don’t need to worry about this.

    If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us again.

    Thank You!

    https://fordstrokers.wordpress.com/ is wearing the free Twenty Ten theme and has not been updated since January 4, 2011. I think you are confusing wordpress.COM and wordpress.ORG.

    This is wordpress.COM support. We cannot answer any questions posted here accurately until we have the relevant URL and have confirmed hosting.

    Note that about 30% of those who post here daily are posting to wrong support forum and the answers to wordpress.COM and WordPress.ORG support questions are not the same.

    We provide support only for wordpress.COM hosted sites. We cannot provide support for sites that are not on our servers. Our support docs do not apply to
    (1) local installs of wordpress.ORG software on your own server or
    (2) wordpress.ORG software installs on paid hosting, and we do not provide support for them at wordpress.COM. That support is found at http://wordpress.ORG/support/
    (3) sites linked to wordpress.COM accounts with the Jetpack plugin so they display on the My Sites wordpress.com account page. That support is found at http://jetpack.com/support/

    WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, support docs and support forums, run different theme versions of themes with the same names, and many people get confused about the two. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ as you could be posting to the wrong support forum.

    The wordpress.ORG support forums are at http://wordpress.org/support. The wordpress.ORG login link is here https://login.wordpress.org/ If you do not have an account yet then click Create an account https://login.wordpress.org/register/ and if you have lost an account password click Lost password? https://login.wordpress.org/lostpassword/

    You can confirm where your site is hosted by typing the URL in here http://www.whoishostingthis.com/

    Then we cannot help you here at wordpress.COM at all. Our themes https://wordpress.com/themes/ are licensed and adapted for use only on sites hosted by wordpress.COM and are nontransferable.
