Theme registration, Envato, Personal token don't work

Hi Ismael,
thanks for your answer. But I must say, that I don’t know,
what you mean with ‘private token’.
I set the tokens at envato as described in the support-file from kriesi.
I told you the url of that file I found before.
That’s what I know and did:

Please, see, that this website is still under construction, but that couldn’t be a reason for the described problem.
I share the URL and password under ‘private content’.
The private token is entered.
If you need FTP data, please let me know.
Thanks for supporting me
Stefan

Hi Ismael,
Sorry for the late reply. Now Corona had reached me too.
The problem is still not solved.
I don’t understand what’s wrong with my envato account, because I haven’t changed anything there. I also have service contracts with some of my clients and update their websites for them. All Enfold licenses from 2021 and earlier will work. The permissions are the same as for the 3 purchased licenses from 2022.
I compared that.
I have no more ideas.
Stefan

That’s the URL I found:

https://help.market.envato.com/hc/en-us/requests

That is what I wrote:
Howdy,
the dropdown choose possibilty is not that what I’m looking for.
Here is the description of the problem:
I have bought the Enfold – Responsive Multi-Purpose Theme 13 times till yet, 3 times in 2022, all others before.
I use this theme to build websites for clients. All three Enfold licenses from 2022 cannot be updated, all those I bought before 2022 can still be updated (I know this because I still maintain some customer websites).
I compared the permissions I set for the personal tokens, I see no difference, I haven’t changed the settings on my Envato Accounts either. The contact to the support of the Enfold team did not yield any result so far.
I have no idea what can be wrong?
Thanks a lot for supporting me.

Hi Mike,
Envato support contacted me – wanted me to provide evidence of Krieisi’s support:

Hi Stefan,
Thanks for reaching out, my name is Phil from Envato’s Customer Success team.
Happy to help!

I am sorry to hear about the issues you’ve experienced with your licenses. I see why you’d be upset, so I’ll be glad to assist you.

To update to the latest version of the item, you will have to download the item and reinstall it on your different projects. We suggest you keep track of the Licenses that belong to each website.

I have contacted the author requesting additional assistance. May I ask you to please share with us evidence of your interaction with the author? If you have raised a ticket, your ticket number will be helpful so we can properly follow up.

Hello, I’m getting angry.

I’ve received this answer before: I know how to exchange it via FTP.
I’ve already told Ismael that I use the theme for customers and don’t feel like logging into Envato all the time,
to download the latest versions there, to visit then customers FTP Servers via FTP to keep the theme up-to-date.

Envato writes that you cannot be reached:

Thanks for your response Stefan.
Phil here.

It looks like the author is not replying to our emails, as we’re getting a similar response: ( I don’t know anything about a similar answer… )

I would expect Kriesi support to hook up with envato to discuss the problem instead to answer’ Hopefully, they will be able to assist you with your tokens.’ and to dismiss the problem this way.
I did everything that was said: downloaded again, generated new tokens, checked permissions: nothing works. I paid for the enfold theme three times and can’t update these items.
I don’t have anymore ideas what to do now to solve the problem.
I’m not a jumping jack!
I can expect Kriesi support and Envato support to talk directly.
Here is the email address of envato support:

Hi – Why not use this email address to communicate with Envato:

(Email address hidden if logged out)

The last conversation to envato – unbelievable – the problem is not discussed there, only that they want to tell me how I can reach you – the developers
What a tragedy !!!
+++++++++++++++++++++
Hi Phil, no, I didn’t do that.
I don’t understand why I should speak to the developers about these comments.
I don’t have a direct problem with the theme, but with the tokens not working.

That’s what the author told me:

Have you tried asking Envato about the issue?
Our personal token worked fine, so there might be something
wrong with your Envato account, which they might be able to help you with.

That’s the same what I told you before too:

If I use Tokens bought in 2021, all goes well.
Only the last three bought in 2022 don’t work

And I answered this question too :

Did you check the permissions? YES I DID – THREE TIMES.

It’s sad that the problem isn’t discussed here, only how I can contact the developers.
I have contact with the author – you don’t have one.
So please, find out how YOU can contact them and don’t always try to delegate the task to me.
The purchased theme works, the tokens don’t.
That’s envato’s problem, not mine, not Kriesi’s.

Do I have to explain your task to you?
You should check if there is a misconfiguration – on your server, on my account.
That’s what Kriesi did suggest, but they don’t have access to my account.
I don’t want to hear any more suggestions on how to reach Kreisi.
You sell the theme thousands of times, you need to find a way to contact them.
A tragedy, honestly.
Still hoping for a timely solution
Stefan

Thanks for your response, Stefan.
Our sincere apologies here, as we’ve been having a hard time contacting them as previously explained.

The main issue I see here is that they automated their mailbox and there’s no one replying. However, and with the best hope the author is safe and doing OK, I have escalated this situation to another team so we can take the proper action.

It also looks like the author team is responsive via the item’s Comments section. May I ask if you’ve given it a try? Here’s the link to it: https://themeforest.net/item/enfold-responsive-multipurpose-theme/4519990/comments

Hi Kriesi,
so I did. installed the envato market plugin, used the token I built for the Enfold-license, I bought for my last customer.

This are the responses:
(is shown under the TAB settings)
The OAuth Personal Token could not be verified. Please check that the Token has been entered correctly and has the minimum required permissions.

Additional Error Details:

(is shown under the TAB Help)
— > Health Check: I see two error messages, all other points are ok
PHP Memory Limit128M may be too small. If you are having issues please set your PHP memory limit to at least 256M – or ask your hosting provider to do this if you’re unsure.
Envato API AuthenticationNot currently authenticated with the Envato API. Please add your API token. Forbidden

++++++++++++

I can’t imagine the PHP memory limit being a problem: I always recommend clients
the same provider, it’s really only the tokens from 2022 that don’t work.
Some other previously purchased licenses work with this provider.
This is the same scenario that Ismael figured out earlier: he temporarily had admin rights for this installation (…”our token works”…)

Best regards
Stefan

Next step of conversation with Envato – for your information:

Hi,
yes, exactly.
But usually I don’t need to install the Envato market plugin to update the Enfold app.
The normal way is: I register the app ( here : https://build.envato.com/), create the token and copy it directly into the theme’s interface.
(to save the token, I copy the string before to a simple text editor to avoid errors due to breaks, paragraphs or similar).
I only installed the envato-market plugin on the recommendation of the Krieisi developers, hoping to get a hint as to the source of the error. You got the response of the envato plugin already before.

Hi Stefan,
Just to confirm, is the problem that the Envato WP Plugin is not allowing you to update the Enfold themes purchases in 2022?
Apologies, just want to make sure we understand the problem correctly.

Hi Stefan
Thanks for clarifying. Is this the endpoint you are using, specified here? https://build.envato.com/api/#market_0_getBuyerDownload

And, can I confirm you are using the item_id, and purchase_code as parameters?

Thanks for your patience, we will sort this for you.

Never seen this URL.

This is what I do to get a personal token, nothing more:

Log in:

https://build.envato.com/my-apps/

I can see:

Apps you’ve registered

Register new app

App Name

Pick somethoing cool, short an catchy

And last Button to register

I’m slowly getting tired of it
I’ll probably have to look for another theme for my customers
What a theatre

last conversation to envato – FYI:

Hi,

What is the reason that I have to explain the same thing over and over again?

I get really angry.
Don’t you guys talk to each other?

Don’t you read what I already wrote?
Didn’t anyone see that I said exactly that several times?

Didn’t noone read that I normally didn’t need the Envato WP plugin to update Enfold. The created token can be entered directly into Enfold.
I only installed the WP plugin because I was advised to do so.

And I say it now for the fourth time:
YES, ALL ENFOLD THEMES FROM 2022 CANNOT BE UPDATED.

Yes, and that’s exactly the problem now with the Envato WP plugin installed:

the problem is , that the Envato WP Plugin is not allowing me to update the Enfold themes purchases in 2022?

Understood ? Or do I have to repeat myself 10 more times?
It’s unbearable: the same questions over and over again….

I also have an Enfold theme from 2021 that I only use for testing.

When the test phase is over, I usually delete the subdomain,
create a new subdomain and use the same theme, purchased in 2021, again to offer a new customer a first
to show the presentation of his new website (= from scratch on)
Then I also use the same token – it works.
And I have clients that I use Enfold for – bought earlier than 2022. Everything works.

Don’t tell me again, I have to control the permissions… Please, I don’t want to hear it anymore

YES, THAT’S EXACTLY THE REASON : the Envato WP Plugin is not allowing me to update the Enfold themes purchases in 2022?

Hi Stefan
I appreciate your getting back to me. I know there has been a lot of questions asked of you. I want to re-assure you that we have 3 engineers on this issue and we will get to the bottom of it.

I can see your token in our database, which has the correct credentials. However, it is an application token, not a personal token.

We think the next useful step is to create a personal token and use that in the Envato WordPress Plugin. The token you need to generate can be done at this link: https://build.envato.com/create-token/?default=t&purchase:download=t&purchase:list=t.

We understand it’s confusing, the application tokens are at the top of build.envato.com, and the personal tokens are at the bottom of the page.

If you are able to take a few screenshots of the process along the way, that would help. We would also like a copy of the token that is generated.

If you can take those steps and get back to us, we are looking forward to hearing how you get on.

Thanks

Answer:

Howdy,
a hero was born in Envato-land!
That’s it.
I got it right ten times, didn’t pay attention once in one day and made 3 mistakes when I wanted to create the personal tokens
for 3 licenses bought in short succession.
Instead of pressing the ‘Create a new token’ button, I pressed the ‘register a new app’ button.
It also says ‘my apps’ in the menu, this is the signpost in the wrong direction.

An extra menu item ‘my personal tokens’ would be useful here.

Life can be so easy…
So many questions, such a simple solution.
Yes, shit happens – I wasn’t paying attention.

Thanks for the support.
The solution just in time, because today I have to buy license number 14 for Enfold for the next customer….
