# Method 1: Automatic Updates
This guide shows how to install & connect the [**Envato Market**](https://envato.com/market-plugin/) plugin to your ThemeForest/Envato account so you can update easily from the WordPress admin.
### **Step 1**** - 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.
### **Step 2**** - 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 %}
### **Step 3**** - 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 %}
### Step 4 - Update bundled plugins
After the theme update always check **Appearance → Install Plugins** for any plugin updates
