There are few ways to update WordPress theme. You can follow any of the methods described below:
Method 1: Automatic Update by Using Envato Market Plugin
- Install and activate the “Envato Market” plugin manually. Here’s the plugin zip file: http://envato.github.io/wp-envato-market/dist/envato-market.zip
- From WordPress Admin Panel, navigate to “Envato Market” menu.
- In this page, you’ll find a field for insering Envato Token. Insert your Envato Token Code from there. You can generate this code from this link: https://build.envato.com/create-token/?purchase:download=t&purchase:verify=t&purchase:list=t. Remember, while generating the token, you have to login using the same envato id which you used to purchase theme.
- After completed the above steps successfully, Navigate to Appearance -> Themes. Here you’ll see an “Update now” link beside your theme. Click on that link and your theme will be updated automatically.
