How to update Themes and Plugins

Update Theme using Envato Market plugin

 You can use Envato Market plugin to update following themes: Aurum, Oxygen or Calcium.

If you are using Kalium theme (version 2 and newer) then please visit this article Update Kalium theme.

If you don’t see Envato Market plugin on your WordPress dashboard then it means that you have not installed the plugin. To install and activate the plugin you just need to go to Appearance > Install Plugins.

 

How do I update the premium plugins?

Just go to Appearance > Install Plugins and install the latest version of that plugin.

That’s it 🙂

 

Premium plugins cannot be activated with theme purchase code?!

Often users try to activate these plugins with “theme purchase code” which in fact won’t work. The reason is simple, Envato and plugin authors don’t allow to activate premium plugins using theme purchase code!

Each plugin has its own purchase code, and in order to activate the plugin, you need to purchase a copy for each of them.

Every theme in ThemeForest works this way with premium plugins. We are allowed to re-distribute these premium plugins with an extended license and limited rights.

Extended License covers: including the plugin in the theme, use the plugin and get the latest update via theme releases only. To get automatic updates, you need to purchase the plugin. If plugin author has made a “premium feature” that requires activation, it is not granted for Extended License owners to use it, but for individual users who purchase the respective plugin.
