How to Register Porto

How to Register Porto

Once Porto is installed, the next thing to do is to register your purchase using purchase code.

Without registering Porto, it is disabled to auto-update theme and plugins, install demos and import studio blocks.

To register Porto, just navigate Porto -> Dashboard or Porto -> Setup Wizard -> Activate.

According to the Envato licensing terms and conditions you need a license for only 1 website. Porto allows 1 live site licensing and 5 staging site licensing for testing purchase per purchase code. So you can setup 5 staging sites without any additional license. But it is required that the staging site is not publicly accessible and only accessible after admin login. This can be achieved by using a coming soon plugin or .htaccess restriction .

Following is the list of domain patterns of staging sites. We will register the domains which match the one of these patterns as the staging sites.
