Internet is full of legal and illegal content. Everybody knows that. You do not have to be a hacker to get your hands on cracked games, nulled software, music, or movies. But you already knew that.
With WordPress, things aren’t as black and white as in the previously mentioned examples which can quickly get you a hefty fine or rent you a free room in the local prison. Since free WordPress plugins and themes are released under a GPLv2 license, that means that everything that’s powering up those items is free. If you know your way around code, you’re free to copy any plugin or theme under GPLv2 license, modify it and present it as your own. Unfortunately, that’s usually also true for premium WordPress plugins and themes, because they more often than not operate under the same license.
Because of that, a lot of people feel they’re not doing anything bad if they get a nulled version of a WordPress plugin or theme. And although you might not end up sleeping next to a toilet seat with your new seven-foot-tall roommate Samantha with a strange tick mustache and a bicep wider than your torso, you might end in a different kind of trouble.
Why you should avoid using nulled UCP and other WordPress plugins & themes
If you’re using nulled UnderConstructionPage or any other plugin, you’re risking a lot of things:

Malicious Code
The number one reason why people are creating a nulled version of popular plugins is getting something out of it. While someone who is selling nulled versions for fraction of the original prices shows their intent (making money, obviously), those who are offering nulled UnderConstructionPage or other plugins for free may have something else in mind. And this one should worry you!
Since those “developers” are modifying code to remove the official licensing system, more often than not, they’re also injecting malicious code in the revised plugin.
This malicious code may break down your site, inject links and suspicious ads you do not want, or it may allow the creator to hijack your site altogether! Malicious code is not something you should mess around with, as the consequences may be disastrous.
Updates & Compatibility Issues
When you purchase UnderConstructionPage, you’re not purchasing just the current version of the plugin. The developers at WebFactory constantly work on it to make it better:
- we fix bugs,
- we add new features,
- we fix security issues,
- we make sure the plugin works on the latest WordPress versions,
- we make sure it works with your themes and other extensions.
On the other hand, people who create nulled versions usually create just one alternation. That means that you will never have any available updates for your site, and it’s only a matter of time when your nulled UnderConstructionPage will stop working and even cause problems to your entire WordPress environment.
New Features
From time to time, we introduce new features to all of our WordPress plugins. Be it a new module you can show on an under-construction page, new image filters you can use, or new templates that we create on monthly basis, you can always expect something new.
Coders who built a nulled version will most definitely not be able to get you new features, as it would mean recoding the plugin every time there’s a new update available.
And if you found one who does that, think twice about what “a new feature” means (scroll back up to the Malicious Code section, and hope you still haven’t lost your site to a hacker).
Support
We at WebFactory provide 24/7 support to our paying users. If you purchase one of the UnderConstructionPage licenses, you’re also entitled to ongoing support. If you have any questions or problems with the plugin, you’re only an email away from fixing the problem.
Whether the plugin isn’t working with another extension you have, or you’re simply not able to find a specific feature, we are always ready to help.
On the other hand, a guy who coded the nulled version of UCP will always stay in the shadow. Not only he or she will not provide support, but they will probably take over your site because you installed the nulled plugin with the malicious code in it.
