How To Update Your Theme Via WordPress (easy way)

  1. Install Envato Market plugin - This is an easy way to get the latest theme. After you've activate this plugin, Follow these steps.
  2. You will need to generate a personal token, and then insert it in field.
  3. If theme was updated at ThemeForest, you will see notification about new version in this plugin

I recommend you to use the demo content files to build a new website which doesn`t have content yet. Our theme includes xml data files which will allow you to upload the demo content to your website. Demo content is the same as in the Live Demo Preview.

  1. Find "Demo" folder in downloaded package from ThemeForest
  2. Find your homepage and choose the your_type_of_content.xml file
  3. Login into WordPress
  4. Go to Tools > Import
  5. Click on "WordPress" If you don't have it already, install the plugin
  6. Click to select file
  7. Choose our your_type_of_content.xml file

NOTICE: Don`t forget to check the "Download and Import File Attachments" in order to import images too.

PS: The message about activating the plugin does not limit its work, it notifies the user about automatic updates, if you buy a separate license for it.
You can not buy a license, and the new version of the Revolution Slider to update with updates of the theme.
