Will all the changes be available in the Plus version or are some restricted to Pro? ---

> [@Stigheim](#): > > How in heck do i got one exstra licence on my acount An Element license can be installed on two Macs simultaneously. If you need to run it on a third, you’d have to buy another license or deactivate one of your older machines. You can deactivate machines you’re not using in the Registration window. ![CleanShot 2025-03-19 at 3 .04.41@2x](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/6/0/600854614392abd136334ea4c4d35cc3ab7a0b2a.jpeg) Hope that helps. ---

I’m replying out of (and in) context here. Elsewhere you noted that you thought “Standard” was fine for a name. But you should be sensing a theme at this point: a lot of folk are asking for various sorts of non-obfuscation. When you use words they should be obvious as to what they refer to. When you don’t use words, well, you should probably have the option for seeing them. Thing is, Elements is getting pretty dense and complex now. I’d argue that anything that helps us make sense of what we’re seeing in any context is useful, even if it’s just a reminder or something that we should have noted. You’re working with Elements all the time now and discussing what things mean with developers. Remember that your user base may not be doing that. Or rather: the user base you’d really like to have extends well beyond the person who’s using the product 24/7/365. ---

The one thing I wanted was the WebHooks but that is only available in Pro. I don’t charge for any of the websites I develop so can’t justify the Pro licence. ---

> [@39Graphics](#): > > Will you offer Elements with a one time payment once it is all set up? We don’t plan on offering any “lifetime” style licenses as the work on Elements will be ongoing, and a one time purchase is not sustainable. If you purcahse a license you can cancel your subscription and still get updates for a year. Best fo all, we don’t block the use of Elements when your subscription expries. It’s yours to use forever. Hope that helps. ---

I would like a little nudge on this one. Went to the classes with DanG, Bill and others for sometime. They all patiently held my hand. Have RW 9.4 safely tucked away and the very elemental blog/web page is still up and web space still holding Green Geek pictures and video’s. I ran into some issues with a couple of the add-ons as my ability to use any of the programming languages is not to be. Am all in on plug-play and hope What You See Is What I Wanted You To Get. This means the more complicated things are there or they are not. 😇 Because I really appreciated the help and do not want to be a piker I have the feeling that I should get Elements. I am assuming this would mean that I do not run the RW 9.4 if I begin to fiddle with Elements? Another concern in that I do not wish to be a drag on the community (I have followed all the daily email exchanges and they are way above my pay grade 👍🏼) which version of Elements would be best for me? Base, Plus or Pro? The idea of having a little help along the way is nice — but, my use of the program is just for family & friends sharing things and the fun of fiddling. Email here is [scooter@peak.org](mailto:scooter@peak.org) - do not mind getting reprimanded or gently guided. I understand that you folks do not have the time to mess with amateurs who actually are. As you can see I didn’t get very far, [[https://lesliebenscoter.com/](https://lesliebenscoter.com/) ] did have fun sharing with friends who laughed along with me. I still use the web space to share pictures with family, friends and amateur radio operators. Have not kept things up to date — that is normal for here. We now have a big push in the Upper, Middle and Lower Deadwood area for a solid Community organization - The Deadwood Community Active. The ‘Active’ part is a give-away on the concerns of this part of the United States. We do not want to lose things such as our Rural Post Office.. etc. I am on the ‘Communications Team’. We also have a group of ladies who are into growing gardens and having seed banks to share. The group is multifunctional. 😇 There are givens. Thanks in advance. ---

I may be missing something but if I create a form that has a Name field and an Attachment field and uses email, when I send it the email contains the attached item. If I use a webhook, I don’t get the attachment data? The JSON of the $\_POST object looks like this; _ **{“name”:“WebHook test”}** _ Where is the attachment data? ---

I can see you’re sending the webhook to your own php script, my guess would be that your script is not processing it correctly… Have you tried sending the form to Zapier and seeing what values they receive? If not, I would do that first. ---

I tried with Zapier and they were getting the data. I realised my error; attachments are in the $\_FILES array. So I changed my code, called my code as a web hook and now I am back at the error ![Screenshot 2025-03-24 at 15.40.50](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/7/7/776391b73ee9508930892186d8209df4ed56fa38.png) Deleted the whole site and republished all but get the same error. ---

It worked with Zapier but now, after republishing all, my site can’t find the rw/elements/com.realmac.apipack/api/webhook folder as per the screenshot. I confirmed it is not on the server. I just did a republish all and the folder is still not there. Update: I changed the Form component to use email, did a Publish, the rw/elements/com.realmac.apipack/api was published but the /webhook is still not found ---

Hmmm, I think this is probably to do with your custom webhook script again 😢 Does it work when you send it directly to Zapier? ---

Not sure I understand. The email form works first time, try the webhook that fails, try the email again (Without refreshing) and it fails as it can’t find the folder … but it found it the first time? ---

> [@RussOggi255](#): > > my site can’t find the rw/elements/com.realmac.apipack/api/webhook folder Just to clarify: the `rw/elements/com.realmac.apipack/api/webhook/` directory does **not** physically exist. The PHP app that’s published to your site intercepts all requests to the `rw/elements/com.realmac.apipack/api/` directory (which _does_ exist) and routes them to the appropriate code internally. If you’re receiving a 404 response from the `rw/elements/com.realmac.apipack/api/webhook request`, that means there’s an issue with the webhook itself. I’ll be adding more debugging and error messages to the responses in the upcoming betas to help everyone better understand what’s going on under the hood. ---

DanC & DanG I didn’t do something correctly?
