Updating via WordPress (Automatic)

Since February 18th 2015 all of our themes can now be updated directly from your WordPress admin area. There is no need to download and manually install each update. To enable the automatic updates please ensure you have a valid API license key and that you have activated your API license key.

For more information on how to activate you API license key please refer to the knowledge base article Activate API License Key.

To update the theme directly from your WordPress admin area please follow the steps below.

  • Go to Dashboard -> Updates and press the Check Again button
  • Scroll down to Themes and place a tick in the checkbox next to the theme you would like to update.
  • Press Update Themes.
  • Your theme will begin to update and should only take a few seconds to complete.
Automatic update failed? Please ensure that the file permissions on your web server allow for folders to be created in the wp-content/themes directory. During update the theme folder will be removed before automatically being re-installed.

There’s no need to worry. You can still update manually using any of the knowledge base articles below:
