Service planning, Google Calendar, online giving and Pro licensing for churches.

Sunday Helpers is an all-in-one toolkit for church websites. It connects your Google Calendar for services and events, accepts online giving through Stripe, and unlocks premium features through a built-in licensing client served from johnnyswebsites.com.

Activation says "Unexpected server response. HTTP 200".

The license host is behind an EdgeOS JavaScript challenge that intercepts server-to-server REST calls. Allowlist /wp-json/ccls/v1/* (and the ?rest_route= equivalent) or your site's outbound IP. As an immediate unblock, enter the master key to activate without contacting the server.

How do I unlock Pro without the license server?

Enter the master key in the License key box and click Activate license. It short-circuits before any HTTP request and survives the daily re-check.

Is the master key secret?

No. It is hard-coded in the plugin files, so treat it as a convenience for your own use and support, not a secret.

  • 1.3.9 – Added configurable master-key activation that bypasses the license server
  • 1.3.8 – Daily license re-validation and feature-status panel
  • 1.3.5 – Stripe giving webhooks
