Updating the theme in WordPress

How it Works

First, make sure you have the Envato Market plugin properly installed and activated.

This plugin can install WordPress themes and plugins purchased from ThemeForest by connecting with the Envato Market API using a secure OAuth personal token.

Once your themes & plugins are installed WordPress will periodically check for updates, so keeping your items up to date is as simple as a few clicks.

Updating

  • From the WordPress Admin Dashboard go to Envato Market Plugin and paste your token in the field where it says “Enter your Envato API Personal Token”.
