IMPORTANT: We recommend installing the plugin “Easy Theme and Plugin Upgrades” before use GPL items. You can download it for free by CLICKING HERE . You can also search it from your control panel within the WordPress free plugin repository as a new plugin to add.
To use it, first install and activate the Plugin. Once activated, you can install and update any theme/plugin by simply uploading a .zip file.

By installing and activate this Plugin before installing any theme or GPL Plugin you can avoid update conflicts if you already have a previous version of the product to update.

Do you have an error when updating?
  1. It is very important that you do not forget that some products (for example those of Themeforest and Codecanyon) in many occasions come in a double compression, that is to say, a zip file inside another zip.

    Check your product when downloading BEFORE INSTALLING to see if this is the case because if it is, the main zip you downloaded will not be the installable one, which will lead you to installation errors like The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet. for example.

    If you upload the main zip and receive an error, it is most likely because the main zip is not the installable one. Unzip the main zip and you will find the installable zip inside.

  2. Remember that the Plugins, Extensions and Addons are always uploaded in the Plugins area. And the themes always in the Appearance area.
  3. You MUST make sure that your WordPress installation meets the minimum requirements suggested in our Q&A section, which are as follows
