Theme Update

This section is useful if you received the notification that a new version of the theme is available.

There are a couple of different ways to update our WordPress theme to the latest version:

1. Install the WordPress Envato Market plugin

Once installed, activated, and setup, the Envato Market plugin will display a notice in your WordPress dashboard when an update is available. To set up:

  1. Download the ZIP file from here.
  2. Login to your WordPress Dashboard
  3. Go to Plugins > Add New
  4. Click Upload Plugin at the top
  5. Upload the envato-market.zip file
  6. Once installed, click Activate Plugin
  7. Visit the new Envato Market menu item
  8. You should see a screen similar to the bellow. The very first step is to create an Envato API token. To do this, click on the generate a personal token link (highlighted in red bellow).

  9. If you’re already logged into your Envato account you’ll be taken to the screen bellow (otherwise you will be prompted to login first before being redirected to this page). On this screen you can see what the Envato Market plugin is requesting permission to access via your Envato account (Envato sites, the ability to download your items, a list of your purchases and verification of your purchases).

  10. To proceed give your token a name, check the box that you have read and agree to the terms and then click the green button to create your token.
  11. Once your token is created you will see a green success screen. Copy your token code (this is very important since Envato doesn’t store a copy of the token for you), check to confirm that you’ve copied it and click the white button that you got it.
  12. Now go back to your WordPress installation and paste in your Envato API token then click save.

  13. Once your token is saved and validated your page will refresh to show your Envato Market landing page with added tabs for your items. The added tab(s) display all of your theme and plugin purchases as well as their version numbers and quick links to the theme and author pages.

2. Update using WordPress uploader:

  1. Log into your ThemeForest account and navigate to Downloads tab. Find the theme and download Installable WordPress file only.

  2. Log into your WordPress website and go to Appearance > Themes.
  3. Activate a default WordPress theme. Delete the older version of your theme and re-upload the new WordPress Installable files that you have downloaded from ThemeForest during the 1st step.
  4. Once it is uploaded, activate the theme.

3. Update via FTP:

  1. Log into your ThemeForest account and get the last version of the theme as described above.
  2. Connect to your server using desktop client software (we recommend Filezilla and CyberDuck).
  3. Go to /wp-content/themes directory
  4. Remove/rename existing folder with old theme files.
  5. Unpack theme installable files downloaded from ThemeForest and upload them to the themes folder.
