Overview
YITH plugins can display warnings when their status checks do not receive the expected response. This plugin intercepts those requests and supplies a custom response that simulates an active status. It is designed for WordPress sites running YITH products, including setups where administrators work with several of those plugins.
The plugin recognizes YITH products through signals such as the text domain, product slug, author details, and plugin URL. It handles requests made through different HTTP methods and supports the newer YITH framework's licensing API, while retaining support for older frameworks. This makes it relevant to site owners, developers, and agencies managing YITH plugins across their WordPress projects.

Changelog
Version 6.2
- Improved Fixed plugins that were not activated because their Text Domain does not start with "yith" (e.g. YITH WooCommerce Dynamic Pricing & Discounts uses "ywdpd"). Detection now uses multiple signals (Text Domain, the plugin's *_SLUG constant, Author, Author URI and Plugin URI) and stores the licence data under the real product slug the plugin registers with.
- Fixed Fixed activation not resolving on the new YITH Plugin Upgrade Framework 5.x: the seeded licence now includes a future "licence_next_check" (and "banned = false") so is_activated() short-circuits and never performs a remote re-check.
- Improved HTTP interception now handles the licence API for every HTTP method (the 5.x framework performs the licence "check" as a GET request; previously only POST was intercepted).
- New Added interception for the new Newfold PLS licensing API (licensing.hiive.cloud) used by the 5.x framework.
- Improved Backward compatible: plugins on older frameworks continue to work unchanged.
