@palomalongueira Thanks for the information.
@palomalongueira Could you please share a screenshot of the plugin’s main page? Please include the menu items too.
@palomalongueira Please let me know the following information so I can help you.
1. Your website address.
2. Plugin version.
3. Log / Cron output.@keithhulstaert Most probably, it is caused by an incorrect ownership issue of the WordPress directory.
Are you on shared hosting? If yes, please contact your web hosting company. They have control over it. Otherwise, if you are on a VPS, what is your web server? Apache or NGINX?
@mhmcrae That is for the free version. Please use the ‘Contact Us’ menu instead.
@mhmcrae As this is a case of the premium plugin, Please contact through the ‘Contact Us’ menu from within the plugin, with full screenshots of the plugin’s main page including the menu items. We’ll be happy to help.
No response was received for a while. So, I am marking this as resolved. If you still face any issues, please feel free to reply here.

@tamierp You have written “They want you to install first then they will spring it on you. That is shady.”
We announced the pro version on November 3, 2020, and explained the difficulty of spending hundreds of hours for the plugin without monetary return. Since then for 1 year and 8 months, we notified our users with admin notice. You had enough time to switch to a different solution if you wanted to.
To give existing users even more time before making a purchase (or switching to a different solution), we offer our Existing users 6 months of premium license free of cost. So you can still continue using the plugin at no cost till 31 December 2022.
If you have learned how to install an SSL certificate on your website, the free version is enough for getting an SSL certificate for FREE and you never have to purchase the premium.
The premium version does this work for you and saves your time (for many people, time is money). Now it’s your choice which version you use or not.
For the new users, we have clearly mentioned the FREE PLUGIN FEATURES and the PREMIUM PLUGIN FEATURES so they understand the difference and decide before installing.

@tamierp We are sorry that our plugin did not meet your expectation, especially with support. But that is the difficulty of spending hundreds of hours developing the plugin and then spending time providing support without any monetary return.

The benefits of the Free version are that you still get
Let’s Encrypt™ SSL Certificate is FREE. But they provide it through their API. If you are not a programmer, you need to study and practice programming for years to be able to use the API of Let’s Encrypt™ to generate a single Free SSL Certificate for your WordPress website.
Here is where ‘Auto-Install Free SSL’ comes into play. With this WordPress plugin, you can generate the Let’s Encrypt™ Free SSL Certificate with ease! You don’t need to have programming or coding experience to set it up.
However, you need to spend some time using this tool to generate and install the SSL certificate. The premium version does this for you and saves your time. Now it’s your choice which version you use or not.

@magicadey Yes, you are right.

As per the announcement, we offer our Existing users 6 months of premium license free of cost. So you can still use the plugin at no cost till 31 December 2022.
After that, if you purchase a license within one week, you will get a 30% discount!
The premium plugin will open the opportunity to earn money with our affiliate program (up to 30%) which we’ll launch soon. We have chosen a 3rd party service Freemius for sales and affiliate tracking.
@keithhulstaert This issue is caused by incorrect file permissions on your server (rather than being a problem with the plugin itself). WordPress isn’t able to properly access its own plugins folder, and as a result, can’t put the updated plugins files in there.
Please check this article. It can help you to solve the issue:

Please let me know if that helps.
