How does the domain count?

PaddlePress PRO uses a host domain name for domain-based software licensing and uses the host domain name by default. So, example.com and blog.example.com considered separate WordPress installations by default. But you can use example.com/subsite1 and example.com/subsite2 under the same license key.

Customizing the logic

If you want to customize the logic behind the domain registration you can use “paddlepress_normalize_domain” filter.

	/**
	 * Let's allow licensing changes here
	 * This filter allowed to trim eg. subdomain or add subdirectory
	 * Depends on the licensing approach
	 *
	 * @since 1.0
	 */
	$domain = apply_filters( 'paddlepress_normalize_domain', $domain, $url );

Don’t count development domains

If you are ignoring localhost URLs, they won’t get counted. Example local development urls:

http://localhost
http://example.test
http://example.local
…. so on
