This article will go over updating premium plugins.
Some of our themes include premium plugins (Cooked Pro, Revolution Slider etc.). Many of these plugins will ask you for a “license”. You can ignore this as bundled plugins do not come with an additional license. Due to Envato’s licensing rules, we can only issue updates for these plugins when we issue a theme update (https://help.market.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/213762463-Bundled-Plugins). Please continue reading below for further information on the process of how these updates are given.
Update process:
- Install this plugin first: https://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-theme-and-plugin-upgrades/
- Download the latest theme files from ThemeForest under “My Downloads“. Unzip the download and you will find the latest version of the plugin under Theme_Package > Plugins
- Log into your WordPress site.
- Go to Plugins > Add New and click the Upload tab at the top of the page.
- Select the zip file with the new plugin version to install.
- Select “Yes” from the “Upgrade existing plugin?” option.
