Troubleshooting the “Update Failed: Service Unavailable” error when updating Kadence Pro plugins

If you are seeing the “Update failed: Service Unavailable” error while attempting to update your Pro plugins, it may be related to your plugin license. Follow these steps to check your license status and resolve the issue.

Step 1: Verify Your License Status

  1. Log into Your Account:
    • Log in to your Kadence account here.
    • Go to the Downloads & Licenses page.
  2. See License Information:
My Account - Kadence WP 2024-10-31 at 7.10.12 AM

Step 2: Check License Activation and update if necessary in WordPress

There are multiple areas/locations for license activation. Some of these are:

  • Kadence Theme Kit Pro:
    • Go to Dashboard > Appearance > Kadence.
    • Check the license fields on the top-right of the page.
  • Kadence Blocks Pro:
    • Go to Dashboard > Kadence > Settings.
    • Check the license fields on the top-right of the page.

Most users who had this issue haven’t updated their API keys after upgrading to the Lifetime Full Plan.

Step 3: Retry the Update

After confirming your license status and making any necessary updates:

  1. Update again:
    • Go back to the Plugins section in your WordPress dashboard.
    • Update the Pro plugins.
