Keeping It Updated

- Sites still on v4.1.6 or older have no update channel: download the zip again and re-upload once to reach 4.2.0

Pro licence
The plugin shows a Pro badge when your BeeCastly account is on a paid plan (Starter, Growth, Pro or Agency). There are two ways to turn it on:
- Connect with the "Connect to BeeCastly" button while signed in to a paid account. Pro turns on by itself.
- Or create a licence key in Settings → API Keys (WordPress Plugin License), then paste it in WordPress under BeeCastly → Settings → License / Pro.
The licence stops working if your account is no longer on an active paid plan.
Troubleshooting
Connection test fails
Ensure your BeeCastly API URL is set to https://beecastly.com and your API key is correct. Check that your server can make outgoing HTTPS requests.
OAuth "Connect to BeeCastly" shows error
Make sure you're logged into beecastly.com first. If you see a 404, clear your browser cache and try again.
WooCommerce features not showing
WooCommerce must be installed and activated. The BeeCastly plugin only loads WooCommerce features when WC is detected.
Chatbot not appearing
Go to BeeCastly → Chatbot in WordPress admin. Make sure "Enable Chatbot" is checked and a valid Bot ID is entered.
