I’m trying to update the theme (from 7.6 to 8.6) via Envato Market plugin but when I click on ‘Update Available’ nothing happens.
You should update the theme via FTP way because this is the surest method in this case, according to our documentation from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/
I’m having the same problem with the plugin, and I’m not comfortable using FTP for the updates. Are there any fixes planned for the plugin? Thanks.
You should get comfortable using ftp (or the cpanel upload option) coz it is the most secure and stable way to get things right.
That’s certainly one way to look at it — I’m looking at it from the POV of having the functionality that was previously available with the theme and which is still referenced on the site.

I’ve used literally dozens of WordPress themes over the years — and have purchased several from Envato — but have never encountered this process as the only viable option for theme updates before. Maybe I’ve just been really lucky.
Thanks for your insight.
Would you recommend a ftp upload over a automatic update via wp-admin panel ?
Just purchased the 8.6 theme and got a notice that the 8.7 is available. If i update, would i need to go through the whole process again through ftp, installing demo, and configuring it all over again or is there an easier way?
@StephenLieu no. You will just have to delete the newspaper theme 8.6 and install the 8.7 plus the plugins it comes with (td composer has been updated). But remember to back up your site before updating. @luchtzak ftp is the best way, but for me, I have access to my cpanel, so I usually just upload the theme directly into the theme folder and extract it from there without having to connect via ftp.
