Envato Market Plugin Setup
You will need to sync the Envato Market plugin with your Envato account to have access to all of your marketplace purchases as well as item updates.
- IMPORTANT: You must be logged into the ThemeForest account that was used to purchase the TOTO theme.
- Navigate to Envato Market menu item seen in your WordPress dashboard menu list.
- Click on the Generate A Personal Token link provided to be directed to the Token Creation page.
- Enter a name in the “Token Name” field. For example: K9theme.
- Under the “Permissions Needed” section, make sure the following checkboxes are checked:
- View Your Envato Account Username
- Download Your Purchased Items
- List Purchases You’ve Made
- Verify Purchases You’ve Made
- Check the “Terms and Conditions” checkbox, then click “Create Token”. You’ll now see the “Success!” page with your Personal Token displayed.
- Copy your token code (this is very important since Envato doesn’t store a copy of the token for you), check to confirm that you’ve copied it and click the white button that you got it.
- Go back to your WordPress installation and paste in your Envato API token then click save.
- Once your token is saved and validated your page will refresh to show your Envato Market landing page with added tabs for your items.
