What happened?

When trying to auto-update WP Full Pay you get the following error message:

“An error occurred while updating WP Full Pay: Download failed. Unauthorized”

Why is it happening?

WP Full Pay authorizes updates through the Themeisle licensing system, using your license key. If the license key is missing, invalid, or has not been activated on your site, the licensing server rejects the update and you see the "Download failed. Unauthorized" message.

How to solve?

Please send us a support ticket, and include:

  • URL of your website
  • The license key you are using

We’ll check your license on our licensing server, and we’ll notify you when the issue is resolved.
