How To Download Theme From Themeforest
Last edited: January 17, 2026Quick answer: Log in to your Envato (ThemeForest) account, open the Downloads page, and download the correct package. In most cases you want “Installable WordPress file only”.
Download a WordPress theme from ThemeForest (Envato)
- Login to your Envato account (ThemeForest account).
- Navigate to the ThemeForest Downloads section.
- Find your purchased theme and click the Download button next to the item name.
- In the opened drop down choose between:
- All Files & Documentation – includes documentation, assets (e.g. PSD files) and the installable theme ZIP (inside the package).
- Installable WordPress File Only – includes only the theme ZIP you upload to WordPress. If you install via FTP, unzip it first and upload the extracted theme folder.
Which download option should I choose?
| Option | Best for | What you do next |
|---|---|---|
| Installable WordPress File Only | Most users (fastest install) | Upload the ZIP in WordPress: Appearance → Themes → Add New → Upload Theme |
| All Files & Documentation | When you need docs / extras | Download → unzip on your computer → find the installable theme ZIP inside → upload that ZIP to WordPress |
Common issues (quick fixes)
- “Missing style.css / stylesheet” error – you uploaded the full package. Unzip it and upload the installable theme ZIP inside.
- Upload limit / ZIP too large – install via FTP/SFTP (upload extracted theme folder to
/wp-content/themes/), then activate it in WordPress. - Can’t find your purchase – make sure you’re logged into the correct Envato account and check your Downloads page.
FAQ
