How to get the updated theme

You can get the updated theme on Themeforest.

There are 3 methods to update WordPress themes to the newer version. These new updates are essential if you want to have a bug free website as we give new features and improvements to the theme over time. Some of these updates might be needed in order to make the theme compatible with WordPress newer versions. There is no risk of losing your settings and pages. However if you had done modifications in parent theme files, then they will be lost.
