Updating North theme with Envato Toolkit

    The documentation with North theme says "The theme fully supports the marketplace's official Envato WordPress Toolkit plugin that let's you easily upgrade your theme without leaving the Dashboard!" I installed the Envato Toolkit during the last update but when I go to Envato Toolkit now on my dashboard, there's nothing that prompts me to update the theme. I'd rather have this plugin update the theme instead of constantly doing it manually be deleting the theme, then reinstalling the new theme over and over. Why does this not work? I already entered my API key last time.

    Here's what it looks like when I got to Envato Toolkit:

    Hi Daniel,

    The Envato Toolkit is depreciated for a few months now, but we still have to include it in (grrrr I know!)

    Have a look at this instruction guide in the North Articles area on how to update your theme and plugins:

    I don't see any instructions about updating while using the North Child Theme. Are there separate instructions somewhere?

    Hi Brian,

    The instructions are still the same for the Child theme as it is the Parent theme that you are updating, not the Child theme.

    It sounds like the Envato Toolkit plugin isn't detecting the theme update, possibly due to an API key issue or an outdated plugin version. Try re-entering your API key or updating the plugin. Keeping things updated, just like choosing the right Package for storage, ensures efficiency and smooth functionality without unnecessary manual effort!

    I had the same issue with the Envato Toolkit and my North theme—it showed no update prompt even after entering the API key. Turns out, the plugin can be glitchy or outdated. I switched to Envato Market plugin instead, and that finally let me update directly from the dashboard. It saved me from constantly reinstalling and helped preserve my custom websites design work, which I didn’t want to risk losing again. Websites design continuity is key!

    I’m having the same issue—installed Envato Toolkit, added my API key, but no update option shows up for the North theme. It's frustrating having to reinstall manually every time. Feels outdated, especially when I work with smarter tools like analisilogicatool, which gives real-time contextual analysis for Italian sentences without any manual hassle. Would love it if theme updates were that smooth!

    I installed the Envato Toolkit as the North theme documentation suggested, hoping to simplify updates. Even after entering my API key, I don’t see any prompts to update the theme in the dashboard. It’s frustrating to keep manually deleting and reinstalling updates. This reminds me of when I was researching unshaven hair transplant options—expecting a smooth process but finding it more complicated than I thought. I wish the plugin worked as seamlessly as it’s supposed to, just like a good transplant procedure should be. Anyone else facing this issue?
