Promoter License Key is Invalid

If you are not using Promoter, you can bump into that error message if you have entered a license key into the Promoter field on the Events → Settings → Licenses page by accident. The warning will be displayed again on the next page load, even if you have dismissed it before.

This can be fixed with a little snippet for which we recommend using the Code Snippets plugin. (Make sure to check out our related article, too.)

Here is how to go about fixing this:

1. Create a database backup first! – This is always important before making any changes in your database.
2. Create a new snippet with Code Snippets, and copy-paste the below code.
3. Set it as “Only run once”. (See screenshot below.)
4. Click on “Save Changes”. (Not “Save Changes and Execute Once”!)
5. Go to Snippets → All Snippets.
6. Click on the play icon next to the snippet to run it once.
7. The relevant entry from the database should be removed and the notice will disappear.

function remove_promoter_from_tribe_pue_key_notices() {
	// Get the option value from the database
	$tribe_pue_key_notices = get_option( 'tribe_pue_key_notices' );

	// Check if the option is set and if "Promoter" is set
	if ( 
		! empty( $tribe_pue_key_notices ) 
		&& is_array( $tribe_pue_key_notices ) 
		&& isset( $tribe_pue_key_notices['invalid_key']['Promoter'] ) 
	) {
		// Unset "Promoter" setting
		unset( $tribe_pue_key_notices['invalid_key']['Promoter'] );

		// Update the option with the modified value
		update_option( 'tribe_pue_key_notices', $tribe_pue_key_notices );
	}
}

add_action( 'init', 'remove_promoter_from_tribe_pue_key_notices' );
