You can update your theme via FTP or via WordPress. See the information below for each method. No matter what method you choose, you first need to download the new theme version files from Themeforest.
First, Download New Theme Files From Themeforest
- Step 1 – Log into your Themeforest account and go find the “Victim” purchase on your downloads tab.
- Step 2 – Click the “download” button next to it and choose to download the “Installable WordPress Theme” which is just the WordPress file, or choose the “Main Files” which is the entire package.
- Step 3 – Decide if you want to install the update via FTP or via WordPress.
