Frequently asked questions.

GPLCoffee is a platform providing GPL-licensed WordPress plugins, themes, and PHP scripts at affordable prices. All products are 100% legal under the GNU General Public License. We source directly from original developers and scan every version for security.

WordPress and the plugins and themes built for it are licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL), which lets anyone use, modify and redistribute the software. Every plugin, theme, and PHP script on GPLCoffee is GPL, so you pay for access and updates, not for rights the license already grants.

Yes. Our catalog syncs regularly with the latest versions from developers. Re-download updated versions using your daily credits, as long as you have a valid plan.

Yes. Releases are scanned with VirusTotal, each version separately, and where a result exists it appears on the product page. Some files cannot be scanned, for example because they exceed VirusTotal's size limit or are bundles rather than a single plugin. We distribute original, unmodified files from the developer: nothing is nulled, cracked, or injected with any code of our own.

Each plan includes a daily credit allowance. Each product has different number of credits needed for downloading. Credits reset every day at midnight UTC. Unused credits do not roll over to the next day.

Yes, instantly: open your Subscription page and click "Change Plan". The unused part of your current plan is credited, so you pay only the difference. Downgrades are not supported: cancel, keep access until your paid time ends, then subscribe to the smaller plan. Legacy gpl.coffee subscribers: subscribe on gplcoffee.dev, then cancel the old plan in PayPal.

Yes. On your Subscription page, click "Upgrade to Lifetime" on the plan you want to convert. Its unused days count toward the lifetime price, so you pay only the difference. Your other plans are not affected, and each can be converted separately.

Every plan includes the full catalog of plugins, themes, and PHP scripts. Your plan determines your daily download credits, the number of sites where GPLC Connector can install and update plugins, and your AI assistant's capabilities. Lifetime is a one-time payment. The side-by-side comparison is on the pricing page.

Yes. Every product page offers a 1-year license (the product and its updates for 12 months) or a lifetime license. No credits or plan needed, and owning an item gives a 10-site Connector allowance for installing and updating the plugins you own. A membership is cheaper once you need more than a handful of products.

Browse the catalog, find your product, and click the download button. The ZIP file downloads directly. Unzip (for themes and PHP scripts) then install them on WordPress. Each download consumes a defined number of credits per product.

Yes. All products are GPL-licensed - install on as many sites as you want with no per-site restrictions.

Yes, for plugins. The GPLC Connector installs and auto-updates the plugins your plan or purchases cover, right from wp-admin, on every membership plan. Themes and PHP scripts download from gplcoffee.dev in your browser. Own single plugins without a plan? An Auto-Updater add-on adds auto-updates (price on the pricing page).

The GPLCoffee Connector is our WordPress plugin. It links your sites to your account so you can install and auto-update the plugins your plan or purchases cover without handling zip files. It never unlocks anything your plan does not include, and themes and PHP scripts still download in your browser. Every membership plan includes it: Lite 10 connected sites, Pro 20, Geek and Lifetime 40. On Pro, Geek and Lifetime it can also run installs you approve on gplcoffee.dev or from your AI assistant.

No. Browser downloads from gplcoffee.dev work on every plan. The Connector is optional: it adds one-click installs and auto-updates inside wp-admin.

Lite includes 10 connected sites, Pro 20, Geek and Lifetime 40; plans bought before October 4, 2026 keep their original allowance. With several plans, the largest allowance applies. Each Auto-Updater add-on adds 20 sites and add-ons stack (25 each for add-ons bought before September 23, 2026). Buying any single item gives 10 sites for the plugins you own. Disconnecting a site frees its slot.

Sign in to your GPLCoffee dashboard and open the Connector page. Download the plugin there, install it on your WordPress site like any other plugin, then paste in the connection key shown on that same page. Your site appears in the connected sites list as soon as it checks in.

Yes. In Claude Desktop, claude.ai, ChatGPT or Claude Code, add https://gplcoffee.dev/api/mcp as a custom connector and sign in to GPLCoffee - no token to copy. Cursor, VS Code, Codex and other MCP clients can use a personal access token from the AI assistant access page instead. Your assistant can then search plugins, themes, and PHP scripts and check your sites for updates. Setup for each client is in the MCP guide.

With a membership plan it can queue plugin installs and updates; each waits for your click in wp-admin and uses credits like any Connector install. On Pro, Geek and Lifetime, sites with approved jobs turned on (Connector 1.8 or newer) run the installs you approve within about 5 minutes. Jobs never activate or delete plugins.

On Pro, Geek and Lifetime plans, a Send to my site button appears on product pages, search results, Last updates and your Updates page. Pick a connected site that runs approved jobs and the install or update runs there within about 5 minutes. You can follow, approve and cancel jobs on the Site jobs page.

Yes, on Pro, Geek and Lifetime plans. Your assistant can request a single-use download link that works once and expires after 10 minutes, charged like a browser download, with a daily limit of 10 links on Pro and 20 on Geek and Lifetime. Tick the Download links permission when you create the token.

Every request is reviewed case by case: open a ticket on the help page with your account email and order details. With nothing downloaded, a refund within 7 days of purchase is normally approved; after downloading it is unlikely, but not refused automatically. Single items are refundable at our discretion, for example a duplicate purchase or a product that does not work as described. Credit packs are non-refundable, and a cancelled subscription ends at the end of its billing period with no partial refund. Details: refund policy.

Yes, you can cancel your subscription at any time from your dashboard. You will retain access until the end of your current billing period. No questions asked.

Click "Forgot Password" on the login page and enter your email. You will receive a reset link. If you migrated from gpl.coffee, use the same email but set a new password.

Your account was automatically migrated. Log in with your gpl.coffee email address. Use "Forgot Password" if you need to set a new password. Your download history and favorites were preserved during migration.

We accept PayPal, which supports Visa, Mastercard, and other major payment methods. All transactions are processed securely through PayPal (we don't save your card's data).

Self-service sign-up is closed for now, but buying any plan or a single item creates your account at checkout and emails you a link to set your password. If you already have an account, sign in and use everything as normal.

Yes. Sign in and open your Subscription page, then click "Receipt" next to any completed payment or owned product. A PDF invoice downloads instantly, showing the billing details on your account. Nothing is emailed - you can download a receipt whenever you need one.
