Yes, you can continue using Feeds for YouTube Pro Basic by Smash Balloon<\/strong> even if you change your WordPress site URL, but you may need to re-authorize or re-license<\/strong> the plugin to reflect the new domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a breakdown of the steps you’ll typically need to follow:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udd11 Licensing and Activation Steps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Change Site URL in WordPress:<\/strong>\n
      \n
    • First, complete the process of changing your WordPress site’s URL (both the WordPress Address (URL)<\/strong> and Site Address (URL)<\/strong> in your General Settings, or via your host\/database tools).1<\/sup><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Deactivate the License on the Smash Balloon Website:<\/strong>\n
        \n
      • Log into your Smash Balloon account<\/strong> (or the account where you purchased the license).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Navigate to the Licenses<\/strong> or My Account<\/strong> section.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Find the Feeds for YouTube Pro Basic<\/strong> license.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • You should see a list of domains currently using the license. Deactivate<\/strong> or remove<\/strong> the old WordPress URL from the license key. This frees up the license slot.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Reference:<\/em> [1]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Update the License Key in WordPress:<\/strong>\n
          \n
        • Log into your WordPress admin dashboard on the new URL<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Go to YouTube Feeds<\/strong> (or Smash Balloon<\/strong>) $\\rightarrow$ Settings<\/strong> $\\rightarrow$ License<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • The license key may show an error (e.g., “Invalid license for this domain”).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Re-enter<\/strong> the original license key, or simply click Reactivate<\/strong> (if the plugin retains the key). The plugin will now register the license against the new domain, assuming you successfully freed up the slot in Step 2.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Reconnect YouTube Account (If Needed):<\/strong>\n
            \n
          • If your feeds stop working after the move, you might need to reconnect the YouTube account to the plugin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Go to YouTube Feeds<\/strong> $\\rightarrow$ All Feeds<\/strong>. You may see a prompt to reconnect<\/strong> or re-authorize<\/strong> your connection to YouTube.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
            \n

            Crucial Note:<\/strong> Most premium WordPress plugins like those from Smash Balloon tie the license key to a specific domain name for security and usage enforcement. Simply moving the files won’t always automatically update the license validation.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
