correodealvaronParticipantWe hired a web development agency to create the website. Now we can’t update the website from the theme/update menu; it always gives an error (Update failed: Download failed Unauthorized). We also can’t update themes from WordPress.
I decided to deactivate the license and buy another one, but the problem persists. We need help to fix this.Attachments:

Try to do the following to update the theme:
1. Go to Dashboard -> WoodMart -> Theme License and deactivate the theme.
2. Go to Dashboard -> Updates and click on Check Again.
3. Activate the theme with your purchase code again.
4. Go to Dashboard -> Updates and click on Check Again.
5. Try to update the theme via Appearance -> Themes or via Dashboard -> Updates.

correodealvaronParticipantHi, it’s not working.
I followed the steps and it still won’t update; it keeps giving the same error.January 23, 2026 at 11:35 am #705752As we can see, the theme is still activated. Note that if you can’t deactivate it then you have a nulled version of the theme installed. In this case, you need to download our theme from ThemeForest and reinstall it completely.

correodealvaronParticipantThanks. How do I install the official theme without losing all the work I’ve done so far? Will I lose everything? What are the steps I need to take? Thanks.
January 23, 2026 at 3:23 pm #705816You won’t lose your site content or theme settings by installing the official WoodMart. Replacing the theme updates files only. Theme Settings and custom CSS remain. You would only lose customizations made directly in the parent theme files.
Follow these steps:
1) Download the official WoodMart package from your ThemeForest account and use the installable zip (woodmart.zip).
2) Go to Appearance -> Themes -> Add New -> Upload Theme, select woodmart.zip, click Install Now.
3) When prompted, click Replace current with uploaded.
4) Go to WoodMart -> Plugins and update WoodMart Core.
5) Go to WoodMart -> Theme License and activate with your purchase code, then check Dashboard -> Updates. -
