Frequently asked questions

Find answers to common questions about Zeebrar, GPL licensing, plugins, site management, credits, and subscriptions.

GPL & Licensing

What is GPL licensing?
GPL (General Public License) is an open-source license that grants users the freedom to use, modify, and redistribute software. WordPress and most WordPress plugins are released under GPL, which means once you legally obtain a GPL-licensed plugin, you have full rights to use it on unlimited websites.
Is it legal to use GPL plugins from Zeebrar?
Yes, absolutely. GPL licensing explicitly allows redistribution. When you download a plugin through Zeebrar, you receive the exact same code that premium developers release. The GPL license travels with the code, granting you the same rights as any other licensee.
Will I receive support from the original plugin developers?
No. Support is typically not included with GPL redistribution. However, Zeebrar provides community support and comprehensive documentation. For critical production sites, we recommend purchasing directly from developers if you need their dedicated support.
Are plugin updates included?
Update checks are automatic on every plan: the connector sees new versions as soon as they land in the catalog and shows them in your dashboard and in wp-admin. Installing a newer version uses credits, the same as any install; rolling back is free.
What happens if a plugin update breaks my site?
Zeebrar includes free version rollback. If an update causes issues, roll back to any previous version with one click from your dashboard or your WordPress admin - no credits charged. Once you are ready, re-update to the latest version (costs credits like a normal install).
How does Zeebrar ensure plugins are safe?
Every plugin version we serve is scanned with VirusTotal v3, a multi-engine security scanner that checks for malware, backdoors and known vulnerabilities, before it is offered. The scan status is shown on every plugin page, and flagged files never reach your sites.

Credits & Billing

How is Zeebrar different from a GPL download club?
A download club gives you files. Zeebrar gives you a place to run them: a remote dashboard that installs, updates, activates and rolls back plugins on every connected WordPress site, with VirusTotal v3 scanning on the versions we serve and no per-site fees. The 5,000+ plugin library is included with every plan.
How do credits work?
Credits are used to install plugins, including installing a newer version of a plugin you already have. Each plugin costs 1-5 credits depending on its value tier (shown on plugin pages). Credits accumulate while you are subscribed - unused credits carry over month to month. If you cancel, your credits freeze but remain in your account. Rollback, activation, deactivation and health monitoring never cost credits.
Do yearly plans include monthly credits?
Yes! Credits are added monthly and accumulate. Your credit bank grows every month you stay subscribed, while you enjoy annual pricing savings.
Do plugin updates cost credits?
Updating a plugin to a newer version is an install and costs the plugin's normal credit price, exactly like the first install. Rolling back to a version you already installed is free. Update checks themselves are automatic and free.
What happens if I run out of credits?
Purchase a one-time credit pack for immediate credits, or upgrade to a higher tier for more monthly credits.
What happens to my credits if my subscription expires?
Your credits freeze but never disappear. When you resubscribe - even months later - your full balance unlocks and new monthly credits stack on top. With Zeebrar, you keep every credit you earned.
What happens when I cancel?
Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle. Your installed plugins remain on your sites but stop receiving updates. Site management features (remote installs, rollbacks, health monitoring) also stop. Your credits freeze and are restored if you resubscribe later - even months down the line.
Do I pay per site for management features?
No. There are no per-site fees. Every Zeebrar subscription includes site management at no extra cost. Credits are only used when a plugin is installed or updated to a newer version - rollback, activation, deactivation and health monitoring are always free.
Can I get a refund on a subscription?
Subscription payments carry a 30-day usage-based refund: within 30 days of a payment you may request a refund of the amount paid minus $0.50 for every credit used in that period. After 30 days a cancellation takes effect at the end of the billing cycle with no refund. The Lifetime Deal and credit packs are one-time purchases and are not refundable. To request a refund, email [email protected] from your account email with the payment date.

Installation & Setup

How do I install the gplc-connector plugin?
Download gplc-connector from your Zeebrar account dashboard, then upload it to your WordPress site via Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin. After activation, go to Settings → Zeebrar and enter your account credentials to connect.
Can I use Zeebrar on multiple websites?
Yes. Site connections depend on your plan: Personal covers 5 sites, Pro 15, and Agency is unlimited. Install the free GPLC Connector plugin on each site to enable remote management.
How many sites can I connect?
Site limits depend on your plan: Personal covers 5 WordPress sites, Pro 15, and Agency is unlimited. Each connected site needs the GPLC Connector plugin installed.
Why is my plugin installation failing?
Common causes include insufficient disk space, PHP memory limits, or permission issues. Check that your server meets WordPress requirements (PHP 7.4+, sufficient memory). See our troubleshooting guide for detailed solutions.
How do I update plugins installed through Zeebrar?
Updates are handled automatically by the gplc-connector plugin. When a new version is available, you will see it in your WordPress dashboard just like any other plugin update. Simply click Update to install the latest version.
What is site management and how does it work?
Site management lets you control plugins on your connected WordPress sites directly from your Zeebrar dashboard. Install, update, activate, deactivate, and roll back plugins - all without logging into wp-admin. Just install the free GPLC Connector plugin on your WordPress site to get started.
What management features are included vs coming soon?
Included today: remote plugin install, update, activate and deactivate, bulk updates across sites on Pro and Agency, free version rollback, site health monitoring (WordPress, PHP and connector status), pre-install safety checks, and an MCP server for AI agents. On the roadmap: automated backups, uptime monitoring, client reports and white-label options.
