How to update this theme?
Site administration / Plugins / Plugins overview / Install , returns me the following error:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /mdeploy.php on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Is there any manually update process?

I am having the same problem, did you solved this?
This depends on how you installed this theme in the first place. If you installed it dynamically using the built in theme (add-on) installer, then you should be able to uninstall it in much the same way.
if you manually installed it, by physically putting the 'Essential' theme into the theme directory in you Moodle install on your web server, then you need to update in the same way.
To do this you need to follow these instructions...
if none of these methods proved usefull then please give me as much information as to what problems you are facing and how you have tried to remedy these problems?
Thanks

I have the same problem after moving my site to a new server. The permissions look correct, but I get that error when I try to update ANYTHING in moodle with the 1 click update system. That link you posted just gives me an error message "Can not find data record in database table forum_discussions."
OK...that other post got deleted or changed...but was nothing to do with this.
What you need to do is change theme to Clean theme, and then remove Essential from your server using...
Site Administration > Plugins > Plugins overview
Scroll to the bottom of that page and find the Essential theme and Uninstall it. This deletes the settings related to this theme but you may have to remove the theme manually when prompted.
Then get a new updated version and install it.

The thing is, I get this error no matter what theme I'm loaded on, and for every update available (not just theme updates). I can't use the 1 click update for anything at all on this site. It's really frustrating.
Then this is not a theme issue and although the permissions may look ok, I would suggest that that is probably where the problem lies
What version of Moodle are you using? It might be in your best interest to trash this site and start over.
There was a poblem in Moodle that triggered that error message in this forum some time ago, and from memory was an AJAX /JavaScript problem which as since been fixed.
So perhaps you need to choose the best version for the server that you are using. There again some servers have problems of their own, and nothing to do with Moodle. In most cases thes sort of problems get sorted but are frustrating nevertheless.
Can I ask what platform your server is running on? Linux? Windows? Unix?
I finally made a ticket with our web host after reading a bunch of posts on this. Here's their response:
"There were two different WAF rules blocking the plugin updater."
So it's fixed now. It's nice to have 1 click updates back.
Now if only Moodle would do that for the core like Joomla and Wordpress do, life would be all that much better
Thanks!
It's CentOS/Cpanel on Rochen. It's a large virtual cloud server. I'm running Moodle 2.6.2 (Build: 20140310), but as it turns out none of that was the issue, it was their security settings.
