Limited availability during the holidays
Another busy year is coming to its end, and an exciting year lies ahead. In order to get ready for a fresh new start, our team will spend a few days' rest during the winter holidays. Over the holiday break, we will have reduced staffing from December 20th, 2024, to January 5th, 2025, so please be patient if you do not receive a response as quickly as you normally would.
We send our warmest wishes for happiness, health, and success throughout the coming year. Thank you for your continued support, and may you have a peaceful and blessed Happy Holidays!

Hi Ivan,
Thank you for getting in touch with us. My name is John, and I'm happy to assist you today. I appreciate your patience while we've been working towards your ticket.
We're also using MAMP PRO for development on our local servers, so this issue must be an edge case. Please navigate to System Status and check whether it shows any errors. Particularly look for the "WP Remote functions" row.
Also, please make sure that external connections are allowed on your server, and if you're using a firewall or similar solution, please let through the following:
Domain: repository.kreaturamedia.com
IP: 80.77.123.165

I found this error in system status
WP Remote functions:BlockedFailed to connect to our update server. This could cause issues with license registration, serving updates, downloading templates and installable modules, and displaying certain information like the release log. It’s most likely a web server configuration issue. Please contact your server host and ask them to allow external connections to repository.kreaturamedia.com domain and have cURL and the necessary components installed.How can i set up my MAMP to allow that external connection? Do you have a MAMP set up sheet to use with this product?
By default, MAMP allows external connections, and I don't think there's a setting for that on the user interface. If you've edited configuration files or using Nginx as a web server can affect this. The relevant PHP setting is allow_url_fopen. You might also want to have cURL support, which is also part of MAMP and is enabled by default.
Reviewing the log files (both PHP and web server) can help uncover something helpful. An enabled firewall can also cause issues like this.
Navigate to Tools -> Site Health on your WordPress admin area, and see if you get a "HTTP requests are blocked" error there. If so, it means that this issue affects your entire site and not just LayerSlider.

No I did not get that error under site health.
It tells us that WordPress' domains and servers are likely whitelisted. Still, something somewhere blocks the request to our servers. Since it's a web server configuration error we cannot see or access, I suggest trying my previous recommendations.
