Questions

Something else? Check the docs or read the license.

Are the templates really free?

Yes. Use them on any number of projects, including client work, with no time limit. The only condition is a small “Template by Editly” link in the footer. See the license.

How do I remove the footer link?

Buy an Editly CMS license. On any site running Editly CMS under a valid license, you can remove the “Template by Editly” link.

Do I need a database?

No database server. You need PHP 7.4+ with the SQLite3 extension, which most shared hosting has. Visit /cms/ once and it sets itself up.

What if a client makes a mistake?

Every publish backs up the previous version. Restore any backup from the dashboard in one click.

Can I use it on client sites?

A Personal license covers one site or one client project, and each additional site needs its own. White label covers unlimited client sites. Templates have no site limit.
