  Please note: you will need to have an FTP client installed before following the processes below. We recommend FileZilla’s FTP client and have documented the process using this third-party software. However, you may be more familiar with and are welcome to use an alternative FTP client.

  You’ll need an API key to use as your password for FTP upload. If you haven’t got this yet, simply:

  • Visit https://build.envato.com/create-token/
  • Choose a token name
  • In the permissions list below, make sure to check ‘View and search Envato sites’ and ‘View your Envato Account username’.
  • Then, click Create Token

  Please follow this process for Stock Footage and Motion Graphics Items.

  1. Open your FTP client and enter the following details:

  • Host: http://ftp.aws.portfolio.envato.com/ 
  • Username: [your Envato username] (this is case-sensitive)
  • Password: [your Envato API key]
  • Port: 21
  • Encryption: Use explicit FTP over TLS
  • Click 'Connect' or your FTP client equivalent.

  

  2. Drag your files into the upload area of the FTP client. There will be designated folders for the specific content type you are uploading - please ensure you upload to this folder specifically. You can also upload your metadata CSV this way. 

  3. Wait for your files to process, and then close your FTP client.

  

  4. Return to Portfolio Manager to review your uploaded files.

• Themes and Code

  All Theme and Code items can be uploaded through your Author Dashboard on either ThemeForest or CodeCanyon. For how to do this, see: How To Upload Your Items to Envato. Here, we explain how to get your Web and Code items to Envato Elements. Select below:

  Web and Code items on Envato Elements

  Template Kits on Envato Elements

  Web and Code items on Envato Elements

  Web and code items are integrated between ThemeForest on Envato Market and Envato Elements to make the experience of contributing CMS & HTML Templates to Elements easier.

  This works by entering your specific item ID from ThemeForest or CodeCanyon to create a link between the two items, and then bringing across the zip asset file and live preview URL in the Elements App.

  The CMS Templates Item Type on Elements includes the following categories:

  • Drupal
  • Instapage
  • Joomla
  • Magento
  • Muse
  • OpenCart
  • PrestaShop
  • Shopify
  • Unbounce
  • WordPress

  The Web Templates Item Type on Elements includes the following categories:

  • Site Templates
  • Landing Page Templates

  There are two separate Item Types for Admin or Email Templates:

  • Admin Templates
  • Email Templates

  Given the complex nature of these items they must be approved by the ThemeForest or CodeCanyon review teams and exist on Envato Market.

  Please follow the detailed steps below to contribute your web and code items from Envato Market to Envato Elements:

  1. Login to Elements Author with your Envato account.
  2. Head over to your My Items dashboard.
  3. Select CMS Templates, Web Templates, Admin Templates or Email Templates from the Item Type dropdown.
  4. Input the ThemeForest Item ID for the item you wish to contribute to Elements (the item ID can be located in the item URL - e.g. https://themeforest.net/item/item-name/12345678
  5. Select the Create Item button to begin the upload process.
  6. The zip file asset and the live preview URL will both be transported over to Elements via integration with ThemeForest. As a result, these two assets are not editable during upload (when you update the items zip asset on ThemeForest the update will also flow through to Envato Elements).
  7. Only the zip asset file and live preview URL are inserted via the link with Envato Market. Fill in all other required details as accurately as you can and pay strict attention to our Quality Expectations. More specifically, please consider how you can best present your items on Envato Elements.

  It is a requirement that items of these types exist on ThemeForest, however that does not mean you should contribute all of your items to Envato Elements. Please avoid older items and focus on your modern, clean and well-presented templates.

  A note on author collaboration and partnerships: We're aware that some authors on ThemeForest collaborate or obtain permission from the original designer to create new items with the original author's design. Please keep in mind that Elements is a separate platform to Envato Market and it is your responsibility to ensure you have the rights to list your item on Elements as per the Author Agreement.

  Template Kits on Envato Elements

  1. Items must first be published to ThemeForest on Envato Market.
  2. Template Kits are then transferred to Elements automatically - don't worry, we will do this for you!
