If you’re not seeing update notifications in your WP Dashboard after receiving an available update email for your theme or plugin purchased from Envato (ThemeForest or CodeCanyon), here are a few quick things to check:
✅ 1. Wait for Envato API to Sync
Sometimes, there can be a delay in the Envato API pushing update notifications to your WordPress dashboard. This is usually temporary.
✅ 2. Manually Check for Updates
Go to WP Dashboard → Dashboard → Updates and click “Check Again”. If everything is set up correctly, the available update should appear here.
✅ 3. Use the Envato Market Plugin
Ensure the Envato Market plugin is installed and configured with your Envato token. This plugin connects your site to your Envato account to enable one-click updates.
✅ 4. Download and Install Manually
If the update still doesn’t show:
- Log in to your ThemeForest or CodeCanyon account.
- Go to your Downloads page.
- Download the latest version of the theme/plugin.
- Upload it manually:
- For themes: Go to Appearance → Themes → Add New → Upload Theme
- For plugins: Go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin
⚠️ Don’t worry — WordPress will handle the replacement without deleting your content or settings. Just make sure to take a backup before updating.
