# Automatic Update
To take advantage of a convenient automatic theme updates you need to have Envato Market (opens new window) installed on your website. This plugin allows to view and install all themes and plugins purchased from ThemeForest or CodeCanyon using Envato Market API (opens new window) Once your purchased products are installed, WordPress will periodically check for any available updates, so you will always have your items up to date.
TIP
If you have all of required and recommended plugins already installed than you’re likely to have Envato Market (opens new window) installed as well. In that case you don’t need to install it for the second time. Instead, skip the installation step and start with API Connection Setup.
# Plugin Installation
- Download
📄 envato-market.zip
plugin archive from the link above. - Login to your WordPress admin panel and go to
Plugins
menu. - Click

If you did everything correctly than you should see the lists of your purchased themes and products. However there is an extra step to ensure the proper work of the products updates. Click Test API Connection
button in the plugin Settings
tab.

If you're getting an error message, then you'll need to generate a new API token (you can't change the permissions on the previously generated tokens) and set the correct permissions exactly as mentioned in the message:
- View and search Envato sites.
- Download your purchased items.
- List purchases you've made.

Then try to test the API connection again.
# Getting the Updates
Once a theme update is released, you will get a notification where you can install the update by clicking Update Available
link. An update release notes are always available there in changelog.
