Freshly installed 8.2.1 'Activate new features' button

[RinaldoT]

Hello,

I'm trying to research on what is the best e-commerce platform to use for my needs and prestashop is likely the best candidate.

I do however have an issue on a fresh install and I wonder if you can help me solve the problem.
I have a notification mark at 'Design' > 'Customization' in the backend and there's a banner showing me:
--------
We have improved the Design section of your back office
Enjoy a better experience and benefit from the latest improvements. Your settings and data will be preserved.
-------

However, pressing the 'Activate new features' button tells me it's successful, yet it keeps the notification and I can repeat the process 100 times without it going away.

May be a browser cache issue certainly, clear cache browser

I would not post here if it was a browser cache issue.

it happens on Chrome, Mozilla, Safari.

even in incognito tabs on chrome and Mozilla.

Hopefully in the future you will install a quality theme so this will not be important.  I'm curious as to your reasons for thinking ps  is best option, and what other ecommerce platforms you investigated.

try this, also not clearing cache is always a good idea, also opening in incognito window for testing most changes.

Check Feature Flag in Database

PrestaShop uses a database table to track enabled features. Sometimes the value does not update properly.

Steps:

• Access your database (via phpMyAdmin or similar).
• Look for the ps_feature_flag table (or similar, depending on your DB prefix).
• Find the row with the name design_section_v2 or similar.
• Set its value to 1 (enabled)

UPDATE ps_feature_flag SET state = 1 WHERE name = 'design_section_v2';
