The TLM use CURL in query requests . So, if this function is disabled on your or client's server, or server, you should enable it or ask your hosting administrator to help you.

Wrong permissionas and script owners prevent script working. Please make sure file permissions are set 644, directories 755, and file execution is under webserver. You can use this manual for permission changing.

If hosting where theme is set use Firewall, this may be a reason of curl request blocking. So you should ask the client to add an exception for your server with processing file.

If for some reason registration fails, you can provide instruction how theme user can manually register theme in his website database.

A client should find database->wp_options->enable_full_version option and change value to "1".

If you have issues with license form view or modal window didn't showing, you can check console in admin panel.

The reason is the incorrect connection of scripts and css. That's may happen if TLM module was included in a theme, but Redux Framework locates inside the plugin.

To solve the problem you can change Extention url to a correct path in the extention_tlm.php and tlm/field_tlm.php files.

For example: $this->extension_url = get_template_directory_uri() . '/inc/framework/extensions/tlm/';
