# Automatic Updates

## Automatic Updates <a href="#automatic-updates" id="automatic-updates"></a>

You need to have [Envato Market](https://github.com/envato/wp-envato-market) installed on your website. This tool allows to view and install all themes and plugins purchased from ThemeForest or CodeCanyon by using Envato Market API. Once your purchased products are installed WordPress will periodically check for updates, so you will always have your items up to date.

> **Note:** if you have all of required and recommended plugins installed than you’re likely to have **Envato Market** installed as well. In that case you don’t need to install it for the second time. Instead, skip the installation step and start with configuring API.

**Installation**

1. Download the [*envato-market.zip*](https://envato.github.io/wp-envato-market/dist/envato-market.zip) plugin archive
2. Login to WordPress and go to the “Plugins” menu
3. Click “Add New” select downloaded archive
4. Activate plugin
5. You will should see “Envato Market” tab in the left menu

**API Connection Setup**

The plugin Settings Page allows you to configure your Envato API Personal Token. This API Token is generated from [build.envato.com](https://build.envato.com/create-token/?purchase:download=t\&purchase:verify=t\&purchase:list=t) and will allow WordPress to securely receive item updates.

If you did everything correct than you should see the lists of your purchased themes and products. Once a product update is released, you will get a notification where you can install the update and check out changelog.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://ridhwan.gitbook.io/wordpressriver-themes-help-center/theme-updates/automatic-updates.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
