Si está utilizando un tema o complemento gratuito a través de de WordPress.org, probablemente esté familiarizado con las actualizaciones automáticas a través de de su panel de control.
Regularly, when you see a notice in your administrator's navigation bar that you have an update, you can go to Control Panel> Updates y todo lo que tiene que hacer es confirmar la actualización de un tema o complemento de WordPress.org, o de su instalación principal de WordPress. Fácil ¿verdad? Bueno, desafortunadamente, los temas premium fuera de WordPress.org de forma directa no se pueden actualizar de la misma manera. Cada tema premium debe tener su propia API para proporcionar actualizaciones automáticas para su producto servido por el desarrollador y aunque muchos de los temas de ThemeForest tienen sistemas integrados, hay algunos que no lo hacen y ahí es donde viene el “Envato Market Plugin”. en su lugar.
the Envato Market Plugin enables you to connect to your ThemeForest account to provide installation and updates for all premium themes and plugins you have purchased from Themeforest and Codecanyon) and is very easy to set up and use.
In this guide, we will walk you through all the steps to download the free plugin, as well as installation and setup. Before you begin, it is important to note that you must use an administrator account on your WordPress site to install the plugin and enable automatic updates. And remember: the Envato Market plugin only provides automatic updates for Themeforest WordPress themes and Codecanyon WordPress plugins (it will not provide update notices for themes you have purchased or downloaded from other markets). Okay, now let's get started!
Installing the Envato Marketplace Plugin
The first step is to download the Envato Market plugin. This is available on Envato (as well as via Github) and is completely free. All you need to do is click the button below to go to the Envato Market plugin page and click the to download button.

Then find the envato-market.zip file you downloaded from Github.

Now that the plugin is installed and active, you should see a new Envato Market menu item in your WordPress dashboard.

The next step is to sync the Envato Market plugin with your Envato account to access all your purchases in the marketplace, as well as item updates.
To get started, click the Envato Market link in the menu of your management panel. You should see a screen identical to the one above. The first step is to create an Envato API token. To do this, click on the generate a personal token link (highlighted in red above).
If you are already logged into your Envato account, you will be taken to the screen above (otherwise, you will be prompted to log in before being redirected to this page). On this screen you can see what the Envato Market plugin requests permission to access through your Envato account (Envato sites, the ability to download your items, a list of your purchases, and verification of your purchases).
To continue, give your token a name, check the box that you have read and accept the terms and then click the green button to create your token.
Once your token is created, you will see a green success screen. Copy your token code (this is very important since Envato does not store a copy of the token for you), check to confirm that you have copied it and click the white button that Understood.

Las pestañas agregadas muestran todas sus compras de temas y complementos, así como sus números de versión y enlaces rápidos a las páginas del tema y del autor.
Una nota para diseñadores Web y agencias de diseño
Si usted es un profesional independiente de Web design o una agencia de diseño que compra temas para clientes, puede usar el complemento Envato Market para mantener actualizados los sitios de sus clientes. No debe dar acceso a sus clientes a todas sus compras, por lo que debe usar el Single Item Tokens section.
Primero deberá instalar el complemento Envato Market en el sitio de su client y posteriormente crear un token haciendo clic en el generate a personal token link. Make a copy of your token as you would if you were creating your own token.
Then at the same time you will need to locate the Product identification para el tema y / o complementos de su cliente. Para encontrar la identificación, simplemente vaya a la página del elemento Themeforest o Codecanyon y copie la identificación numérica al final de la Url.
Now navigate back to the Envato Market page within your client's site instead of pasting your token into the available global field, click on the Add item button. This will open a pop-up window to enter your Envato Token and Item ID.
Once you save the item, you can repeat the process to add all your other purchases for this specific customer.
Now, the WordPress installation you have been working on will only show the items (and associated updates) that you have added. Non-developers at the same time can consider this plugin if you have made a lot of Envato purchases over the years and only want to see updates for the items you are using at the moment.
Automatic Envato Market Updates for Themes and Plugins
Ahora que tiene el complemento Envato Market instalado y sincronizado con su cuenta, tendrá todas sus compras y actualizaciones de artículos al scope de su mano.
If an update is available for an item you have purchased, you will see an orange notice like the image above.
At the same time, if there is a theme or plugin update available, at the same time you can see it on the main WordPress updates page by clicking the update symbol in the admin navigation bar or clicking Control Panel> Updates. From here you can process your update on a regular basis by selecting and updating your article.
Note: You CANNOT update plugins included with a theme using the Envato Market plugin. You can only update add-ons for which you have purchased your own individual license. When a developer bundles plugins with a theme, they must provide plugin updates within the theme or provide update details in their theme documentation.
To update your item through the Envato Market plugin, simply click on the Update available link in the orange prompt to begin installing the update.
If your item shows the Updating ... message for more than a few minutes, refresh the page and try again.
When the update is complete, you will see a quick green notice that your item has been Updated! And that is. As updates become available, you can view them directly from your dashboard (much more convenient than downloading updates yourself as you receive email notifications from Envato).
Update failed: download failed (or is prohibited)
Existe la posibilidad de que al actualizar vea un mensaje de error que indica que la descarga de la actualización ha fallado. Al realizar la prueba, descubrimos que actualizar la ventana de su browser y hacer clic para actualizar nuevamente funcionó resolvió el problema.
