Most RadiusTheme themes ship with one or more of our premium plugins already included. Classima, Homlisti, ListyGo, ListPress, and Petslist all come with Classified Listing Pro, Store addon bundled, same as ShopBuilder Pro for Woocommerce Theme for example — you install the theme and the plugin that powers it is already there.
This page explains how bundled plugins are licensed, how they update, and how support works for them.
What is a bundled plugin?
A bundled plugin is a premium RadiusTheme plugin that is included inside a theme package at no extra cost. It is the same plugin we sell on its own — the same code, the same features, the same functionality.
The difference is not what the plugin does. The difference is how it is licensed, updated, and supported.
Because we build both the themes and the plugins, a bundled plugin is not a third-party component we have wrapped into a zip file. It is our own product, maintained by the same team that maintains the theme it ships with.
Bundled vs. standalone: what actually differs
| Bundled with a theme | Purchased standalone | |
|---|---|---|
| License | Covered by the theme’s license | Its own independent license |
| Use with other themes | No — tied to the theme it came with | Yes — works with any theme |
| Purchase code | Not needed; no activation required | Has its own purchase code |
| Updates | Arrive with each theme update | Available as soon as we release them |
| Support | Covered by the theme’s support period | Covered by the plugin’s own support period |
Activation and purchase codes
Bundled plugins do not need to be activated or registered. If you see a prompt asking for a purchase code or license key, you can ignore it — the plugin is already licensed through your theme and will work exactly as intended once the theme is activated.
Updates
When we release a new version of a bundled plugin, that version is packaged into the next theme update. Update the theme and the bundled plugin comes with it.
This means a bundled plugin may sit a short while behind the standalone version. If you need every plugin release the moment it ships, the standalone license is the better fit.
Support
Support for a bundled plugin runs through your theme support period, not a separate plugin period. Open a ticket the same way you would for any theme question — same account, same team, same queue. You do not need to work out which product a problem belongs to before you can ask about it.
Compatibility
We test each theme against the exact plugin versions bundled inside it. That combination is the one we guarantee.
The practical rule: update the components together. If you update the theme, let the bundled plugin update with it. Problems almost always come from a bundle that has drifted apart — a hand-updated plugin sitting on top of an older theme, or the reverse.
If you have installed a separately purchased copy of a plugin that your theme also bundles, run only one of them. Two copies of the same plugin will conflict.
“My bundled plugin says an update is available”
This usually means the standalone plugin has had a release that has not reached the theme package yet.
- If the plugin is bundled, wait for the next theme update — the new version will be included.
- If you bought the plugin separately and activated its own license, update it directly.
If a bundled plugin has stopped working after an update, open a ticket and tell us the theme version and the plugin version you are running. That pair is almost always the answer.
Third-party plugins in a theme package
Some themes include plugins that are not ours — a slider, a page builder extension, or a similar component from another developer.
- We keep bundled third-party plugins up to date with our theme releases, and we support the way those plugins work inside our theme.
- We cannot provide support for a third-party plugin used on its own, outside our theme, or extend its feature set.
- If you want the third-party plugin’s own support and license, buy it directly from its author.
When to buy the plugin separately
The bundle is the right choice for most people: it is included, it is tested against the theme, and it is supported by us.
Buy the standalone license instead if you want to:
- Use the plugin on a different theme, now or later.
- Use it on sites that do not run our theme.
- Receive plugin updates independently of the theme release cycle.
- Hold a license in your own name that survives a theme change.
A bundled plugin cannot be extracted from its theme and used elsewhere. That is a licensing limit, not a technical one — if the plan is to move the plugin to another theme down the road, the standalone license is worth buying up front.
Questions
If you are not sure whether a plugin on your site is the bundled copy or a standalone one, open a ticket from your account and we will check it with you.
