Hi erik, the license validator in the Pro Plugin is likely tied to the trottyzone.com domain, I’m attempting to reach the developer to understand what’s going on. If the Plugin has been abandoned then the community will need to come up with a solution (e.g. transfer the Plugin ownership, etc.)…
We’re in the same boat, was looking for paid support but Trottyzone no longer seems to exist.
In the same boat here. License validator seems not to work with the site down. Here is how to get around it temporarily.
Edit main.php within /wp-content/plugins/woocommerce-checkout-manager-pro/includes/classes
Search for “wooccmadd()”
You’ll see code like below
function woocmmatl() {
global $wp_version;
wooccmadd();
if ( wooccmcurr() ){
return true;
}
return false;
}
Edit the last return false to return true.
Should read like this now
function woocmmatl() {
global $wp_version;
wooccmadd();
if ( wooccmcurr() ){
return true;
}
return true;
}
Curious what anyone finds out about this developer and support. Looks like their domain trottyzone.com is registered through Feb 2018 and was just updated on 2/16/2016…
keithschmader we are using version 4.3.3 of this plugin. We had problems when trying to update with javascript conflicts on the checkout page with newer versions of the plugin.
Any idea how else to override the validator?
Here’s a link to our main.php file code: main.php file
Any help would be great. Sucks when someone abandons a paid plugin like this.
Thanks @keithschmader for your solution, you have save me!!!
Hi folks
beyond the immediate validation solution, what is the long term fix.
Visser, will you guys be willing to take it over (clean it up and relaunch)?
Is there a viable alternative that allows for conditional fields?
@jamiewalden I’m using 4.5.1
Are you sure you were editing main.php from the following directory?
/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce-checkout-manager-pro/includes/classes
Conditional formatting isn’t working on 4.5.1 anymore. Anyone have a newer version that is working?
Thinking this plugin is next best option without cleaning this one up and relaunching.

It’s be great if Visser Labs was able to take over development. Tried to find contact info for visser on their site. Looks like they want customers to post on their FB wall. I don’t have an account on FB.
Here is Visser’s page.

Just had to roll back to 4.4.9 for some specific functionality. The validator is significantly more complex to go around. It is hard to even begin to describe the changes we made. I’ll keep you posted on our feedback of the code canyon plugin I linked to earlier.
Hi guys, please update to the 4.0.1 Plugin update, I’ve ripped out the registration engine within the free Plugin and will build and release a free Plugin to the WordPress repository to override the Pro Plugin’s license engine if required. Please ping your interest in the comments below if you’re interested in me doing this vs the above snippets for functions.php
As of today the 4.0.1 Plugin update of this free Plugin is more up to date than the Pro Plugin. Right now the priority is to stabilise the free Plugin and make it rock solid for WooCommerce users (it’s the Pro Plugin only free!). Pro users should de-activate the Pro Plugin and install this free Plugin as the Pro Plugin is not being maintained at this time.
Hi Visser
I was only made aware of the Pro version no longer working earlier today, have been troubleshooting ever since.
Does Woo Checkout Manager no longer allow greyed out days (including dates before current day on calendar)?
Thanks
Cathy
Hi cathyrowson, unfortunately there’s no way for me to take over the trottyzone.com domain and tie into the Pro Plugin or notify the existing Pro user base.
I’ll be writing some Posts on visser.com.au related to Checkout Manager Pro and Google will float it to the top, the free Plugin includes ALL of the functionality of WooCommerce Checkout Manager Pro. I know this as I compared the last free commit from eMark (4.0) to the latest Pro release and they lined up exactly.
If you can see a feature that’s missing from the free Plugin can you send me a copy of your Pro Plugin to support@visser.com.au so I can compare it to the original free Plugin. The WooCommerce Checkout Manager free codebase as of 2.0.3 is now very different to the original free and Pro Plugin so I can’t do comparisons between 4.0.3 and the original free (4.0) or Pro Plugin. I can’t promise to respond quickly as I’m dealing with a surge in support demand for our Pro Plugins but I will get to it and update this topic with more information. 🙂
