# Updating Theme

{% hint style="info" %}
There are 3 methods for installing your WordPress theme: **Easiest**, **Envato Market** or via **FTP**
{% endhint %}

## Envato Market (recommend)

Envato has released a plugin named **Envato Market** that can be used from your WordPress dashboard to manage all of your themes and plugins purchased from ThemeForest and Codecanyon.

## Easiest

First download the latest version of the theme by going to your ThemeForest account, the **Downloads** section. Locate the theme, click on **Download** button and select the “**Installable WordPress file only**” option.

Navigate to **Appearance** → **Themes** and click the **Add New** button. Then click **Upload Theme**.

Select the downloaded theme archive on your hard drive and click **Install Now**.

## FTP

1. Download the `theme-name.zip` from ThemeForest and unzip it
2. Use **FTP** or **SFTP** to access your domain (if you're not sure how your webhost would typically provide guidance on their site)
3. Browse to `wp-content/themes/theme-name`
4. Delete and override the un-zipped `theme-name` folder
