Updating
Enable automatic updates of YOOtheme Pro and gain access to the layout library as well as the Unsplash and Pexels image libraries.
YOOtheme Pro can be updated using the Joomla update system. Whenever a new version of YOOtheme Pro is available, you will receive a notification in the Joomla control panel. Before you can update, you have to first add your YOOtheme Pro API key.
API Key
A YOOtheme API key is an alphanumeric code. It consists of 40 characters and is created individually for each website. Without it, you won't be able to update YOOtheme Pro or access the Layout Library and the Unsplash and Pexels image libraries. You can find and manage your API keys in the Websites tab of your account. Add each domain where you want to use YOOtheme Pro, and a unique API key will be generated.
Entering the API Key
Open the YOOtheme Pro customizer, go to Settings → API Key and paste the API key into the field. After saving, you can update it with one click just like any other theme.
Minimum Stability
Choose the minimum stability for YOOtheme Pro updates on your site. In Joomla go to the Installer Options in the Global Configuration, and set the minimum stability to either Stable or Beta.
