YITH License Activator
This WordPress plugin works alongside YITH plugins on WooCommerce sites. It catches the status checks those plugins send to remote servers and answers them with a local response, so the plugins report as active. The result is a dashboard without repeated warnings and nag messages.

What’s new in YITH License Activator 6.2
Version 6.2
Latest
- ImprovedFixed plugins that were not activated because their Text Domain does not start with "yith" (e.g. YITH WooCommerce Dynamic Pricing & Discounts uses "ywdpd"). Detection now uses multiple signals (Text Domain, the plugin's *_SLUG constant, Author, Author URI and Plugin URI) and stores the licence data under the real product slug the plugin registers with.
- FixedFixed activation not resolving on the new YITH Plugin Upgrade Framework 5.x: the seeded licence now includes a future "licence_next_check" (and "banned = false") so is_activated() short-circuits and never performs a remote re-check.
- ImprovedHTTP interception now handles the licence API for every HTTP method (the 5.x framework performs the licence "check" as a GET request; previously only POST was intercepted).
- NewAdded interception for the new Newfold PLS licensing API (licensing.hiive.cloud) used by the 5.x framework.
- ImprovedBackward compatible: plugins on older frameworks continue to work unchanged.
What it does
Many YITH plugins regularly contact a remote server to confirm their status. When that check fails or is never set up, the WordPress dashboard fills with warnings and reminders that keep coming back. If you run several YITH products on one site, or the same set across many client sites, those notices add up quickly. This tool sits in the background and handles those checks for every YITH plugin it finds, so the messages stop appearing.
It works by intercepting the outgoing HTTP requests YITH plugins make and returning a custom response. It handles these requests for every HTTP method, covers the Newfold PLS API used by newer YITH frameworks, and stays compatible with plugins built on older frameworks. To find YITH plugins whose text domain does not begin with yith, it looks at several signals: the text domain, the plugin slug constant, the author and the author and plugin URIs. WooCommerce is required.
Best for
- WooCommerce stores running several YITH plugins
- Agencies managing YITH plugins across many client sites
- Site owners tired of repeated dashboard warnings
Features
Works across all YITH plugins
Handles status checks for every installed YITH plugin from one place, so you do not need to deal with each plugin separately.
Local response to status checks
Intercepts the requests YITH plugins send to remote servers and returns a custom response, which removes recurring dashboard warnings and nag messages.
Smarter plugin detection
Identifies YITH plugins using the text domain, the plugin slug constant, the author, the author URI and the plugin URI, then stores data under each plugin's real slug.
Handles every HTTP method
Catches status requests whether a plugin sends them as GET or POST, which covers the way newer YITH frameworks perform their checks.
Support for newer frameworks
Covers the Newfold PLS API used by newer YITH plugin frameworks and stores a future recheck date so plugins skip remote rechecks.
Backward compatible
Plugins built on older YITH frameworks keep working as they did before, so mixed setups with older and newer plugins are covered.
White label branding options
Offers clean branding options so the tool fits neatly into your WordPress dashboard and keeps a professional look for client sites.
Scanned with ClamAV
The plugin files have been scanned with ClamAV, giving you an added check on the code before you add it to a site.

Questions about YITH License Activator
Does this work with YITH plugins whose names do not start with yith?
Yes. Detection does not depend only on the text domain. It also checks the plugin slug constant, the author, the author URI and the plugin URI, so YITH plugins that use a different internal prefix are still recognized and handled correctly.
Will it work with both new and older YITH plugins?
It supports the newer YITH plugin framework, including requests sent to the Newfold PLS API and status checks made as GET requests. Plugins built on older frameworks continue to work unchanged, so a site can run a mix of both.
Do I need WooCommerce for this plugin?
Yes, WooCommerce is required. That fits how most YITH plugins are used, since the majority of them add features to WooCommerce stores.
Can I keep the dashboard looking clean for clients?
The plugin includes white label branding options, so it sits quietly in the WordPress dashboard. Since the recurring warnings and nag messages from YITH plugins are also removed, client dashboards stay tidier.
