After completing the installation of the theme, you need to activate your product under Dashboard -> Hotello following these instructions:
1. Click on this Generate A Personal Token link. IMPORTANT: You must be logged into the same Themeforest account that purchased your current theme. If you are logged in already, look in the top menu bar to ensure it is the right account. If you are not logged in, you will be directed to login then directed back to the Create A Token Page.
2. Enter a name for your token, then check the boxes for View Your Envato Account Username, Download Your Purchased Items, Verify Purchases You've Made and List Purchases You've Made from the permissions needed section. Check the box to agree to the terms and conditions, then click the Create Token button.
3. A new page will load with a token number in a box. Copy the token number then come back to this registration page and paste it into the field below and click the Submit button.
4. You will see a green checkmark for success, or a failure message if something went wrong. If it failed, please make sure you followed the steps above correctly.
Paste the token in the provided box and click on the Submit button.
If activation is successful, you will see a green checkmark.
If you encounter the error above after entering your Personal Token into the Product Registration field, you may have missed a step in generating your Personal Token. Please continue reading below for the likely causes of why your Personal Token may be invalid. If you’ve checked all the likely causes below and you’re still getting the ‘Invalid Token’ error, please open a support ticket so our team can have a look.
1. The token doesn’t have access to the required permissions. When generating a new token, make sure the following Permissions are checked: View Your Envato Account Username, Download Your Purchased Items, Verify Purchases You’ve Made and List Purchases You’ve Made. We require these permissions in order to verify if your purchase is valid and to be able to download automatic updates for the theme. If you’re already using an existing Personal Token, you can go to your ‘My Apps’ page and edit the token’s permissions from there. Simply click the ‘Edit’ button and check the required permissions.
2. Missing characters when copied from ThemeForest. When copying your Personal Token key, make sure you don’t miss any characters. It’s a simple thing to miss, but it still happen frequently. If you’re copying your Personal Token from a text editor program like MS Word or Notepad, make sure you don’t copy any extra characters such as spaces, as well.
3. The personal token in use has been deleted. Make sure the Personal Token you’re using still exists in your ‘My Apps’ page. If it has been deleted or no longer exists, you’ll need to generate a new Personal Token and use that in your Product Registration instead.
4. Token in use is registered under the wrong ThemeForest account. If you have access to multiple ThemeForest accounts, make sure you’re logged into the correct account that you’ve purchased with. Generating a Personal Token using an account that doesn’t have purchased will render the token invalid when used in Product Registration field.
5. The server is blocked for external CURL calls. This needs to be checked with your hosting service since this configuration cannot be modified without administrator access to the machine. We'd suggest you get in touch with them and ask if there any restrictions on CURL calls or even firewall rules to block and outgoing requests like that.
