ThemeForest & CodeCanyon are two very popular places to buy premium WordPress themes & plugins.

Here at ShoutMeLoud, we have featured many useful themes & plugins from these stores. (At the end of this post, you will find links to those articles.)

One of the challenges that users like you & me face after purchasing a product from both of these stores is updating. I have purchased a few plugins (like WP Link Status) & it’s a pain to download updated versions and manually update them.

Well, today is a good day, as now we have an official WordPress plugin called WP Envato Market that will make the updating process automatic. Sound good?

In this tutorial, you will learn how to use the Envato Market plugin to automatically update existing (& future) ThemeForest WordPress themes & CodeCanyon WordPress plugins.

Using Envato Market Plugin to Auto-Update ThemeForest & CodeCanyon Products

To get started, you need to download the plugin from here & install it onto your WordPress site.

Install Envato Market WordPress Plugin
  • Save

After activating the plugin, click on the “Envato Market” icon from the left sidebar.  Here you have two options:

Envato Personal token
  • Save
  • Global OAuth Personal Token
  • Single Use OAuth Personal Tokens: This works for individual items and additionally requires the Envato Market item ID. This is useful for a freelancer who has installed themes and/or plugins on a client site.

To generate your personal token, click on this link & login using your Envato Market login details.

generate token
  • Save

Copy & paste your unique token into the Envato settings inside your WordPress dashboard.

Updating Codecanyon WordPress plugins
  • Save

Click on “Save Changes”.

Once you have configured this properly, you will see a screen where you can install or update your already purchased plugins & themes.

Install Codecanyon WordPress plugins
  • Save
  • Note: In my case, the plugin was not showing any update for WP Link Status Pro.
    • I deleted the WP Link Status plugin & installed it again using the Envato Market plugin.

Hopefully, in the coming days, we will see more features added to this plugin such as seeing the changelog or an option to search & buy the plugin directly from the dashboard.

For existing CodeCanyon & ThemeForest users, this plugin is very handy. If you are currently using these marketplaces, I’m sure you will happily welcome the launch of this useful tool.

Let me know what products you are using from these marketplaces in the comments below. Does this plugin excite you?

As promised above, here are some of the best WordPress products from these two stores:

    Wow, kudos from me too! Update notifications show up in the plugin, but the updating is done by the regular WP plugin update process. Eliminates unnecessary complexity!

    Yipee! I needed to update my theme and really didnt want to have to use FTP. Thank you Envato! and Thank you Shoutmeloud 🙂

    I just downloaded the envato toolkit and inserted a simple API key and could see all my themes and update the one I was using with a single click.

    Very cool and saved me lots of time. Thanks!

    I do not use Theme Forest. I use TruePixel from MyThemeShop. MyThemeShop allows users to auto update the WordPress theme. This is very important to keep your theme up to date. The information you have shared here will help all teh Theme Forest users. Thanks.

    Have used it. But, it doesn’t work all the time. It’s not being actively developed. If you’re lucky enough, you can update specific purchased themes/plugins forever. But, that’s not the case with most of the items.
