# Method 1: Automatic Updates

This guide shows how to install & connect the [<mark style="color:blue;">**Envato Market**</mark>](https://envato.com/market-plugin/) plugin to your ThemeForest/Envato account so you can update easily from the WordPress admin.

### <mark style="color:blue;">**Step 1**</mark>**&#x20;- Generate Token**

Navigate to **Envato Market** in the WordPress admin. Click the **generate a personal token** link.

After clicking the link you will be taken to the page below (you may need to login to your Envato account first).

1. Enter a name into the **Token name** field ("updates" for example).
2. Check the "Terms and Conditions" box.
3. Click the **Create Token** button.

*You can leave the Permission options as they are.*

Copy your token code from the "Success" screen (this is important since Envato doesn't store it for you) and click the **Got it** button.

### <mark style="color:blue;">**Step 2**</mark>**&#x20;- Connect Envato Account**

To connect your Envato Market account, enter your Envato token into the **Token** field and click the **Save Changes** button.

If you see the following error message when you first enter your token, simply go back to the previous page and try again. It should work on the second go.
{% endhint %}

### <mark style="color:blue;">**Step 3**</mark>**&#x20;- Update Theme**

Once your token is saved and validated the available items for your Envato account will be displayed.\
To update the theme, simply click the **Update Available** link in the orange notice on the theme listing.

**That's it!**

{% hint style="success" %}
That will update only the theme, you still have to **update the bundled plugins**
{% endhint %}

### <mark style="color:blue;">Step 4</mark> - Update bundled plugins

After the theme update always check **Appearance → Install Plugins** for any plugin updates
