At this point still not 100% sure how this would work technically, but for this purpose it would be ideal\u2026<\/p>\n<p>In the ideal case \u2013 each Pro user would get a special token, paired with their domain, which would allow updating a block\/plugin directly from the Block\/Plugin page automatically, without the use of FTP. Over time this could ideally also include installing new stuff. With actual template update it could be problematic due to the fact these updates sometimes include many files and question is how fast your server is and what is the PHP time limit, in case of the entire template it could time out, but I think the last update was relatively easy and quick so it could stay this way, and this autoupdate could only be for Pro. Others would have to use FTP for everything.<\/p>\n<p>And whenever someone entered pro I would activate his token on my server and that would let him download stuff. When they decide they are no longer interested, I would remove it and this feature would no longer work \u2013 this is actually one of very few things I can do, otherwise I have very little control over your website, in fact none \ud83d\ude00 The advantage of this would be that it would rely on my website, which I have full control of.<\/p>\n<p>The only problem is that I do not have such script right now, it has been in my head for about 3-4 months\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Just my first thoughts\u2026. Now tell me what you would add\/remove, once we come to certain conclusion I will make a poll and re-enable all downloads. Then based on that I would come up with further details as to what exactly would be included, how much it would cost etc etc.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you guys, no matter what happens, I was absolutely amazed by all your replies, I was worried the reaction to me temporarily disabling the downloads would be mostly negative, but you really surprised me\u2026<\/p>\n<div style=\"min-height: 30px;display: inline-block;\"><input id=\"3179\" style=\"float: right;max-width: 50px;\" src=\"https:\/\/meteotemplate.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-advanced-pdf\/asset\/images\/pdf.png\" alt=\"#TB_inline?height=230&amp;width=400&amp;inlineId=examplePopup1\" title=\"Export pdf to your Email\" class=\"thickbox export-pdf\" type=\"image\" value=\"Export to PDF\" \/><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi guys, Based on all your feedback (thank you very much), I have come to a conclusion that the best thing to do would be coming up with a list of Pro features, which would be in addition to the standard free Meteotemplate.
