    Tried to unregister and register the theme license again but still not working.

    Hi,

    Thank you for reaching out to us.

    Could you please provide temporary wp-admin and FTP access? We will check what can be done to help you.
    To grant WP-Admin access, please proceed to create a new user account with an administrator role through your WordPress Dashboard. Once the account is established, you may securely transmit the username and password to us via the Private Content section designated for this purpose.

    For FTP access, we require the following details: FTP host, FTP username, FTP password, FTP port, and FTP encryption type. If you need assistance in creating these credentials, please reach out to your hosting provider who will guide you through the process.

    Warm Regards,

    Hi,

    Here’s the wp-admin access. Please let me know if the problem still can’t be solved then I will get the FTP access.

    Please contact administrator

    Hi,

    Could you please provide FTP access or perform the manual update?

    Download theme’s .zip file https://www.8theme.com/documentation/xstore/theme-installation/theme-package/ , go to Appearance > Themes > Add New > Upload archive > Install > Replace with uploaded.
    Then, download the Core plugin archive (The Core plugin file is typically included in the full theme package available on ThemeForest )
    Go to Dashboard > Plugins > Add new > Upload plugin > Choose downloaded plugin > Install now > click on “Replace current with uploaded”.
    Then, clear all caches and check the result of updates.

    It works now, thank you.
    For next updates I still need to do it manually like this? Or it can be updated using wordpress dashboard?
