tcardoso Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Hi, I installed PrestaShop 1.4 alternative (http://addons.prestashop.com/pt/2197-prestashop-14-alternative.html) and it turned the site into this: http://cubomagicoportugal.com/pt/ How can I uninstall the theme. I even saved an alternative of the default theme that is also changed, so dunno. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWT Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 You now have to activate the theme, then arrange the positions of your modules if they are in the wrong locations. Right now you have the default theme active with modules from the Alt theme active. go to your back office and click the "preference" tab then "appearance" then scroll down to the small screen shots of your themes installed and select the "Alt" theme re-fresh you browser.

Lem Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 In your Back Office goto >Preferences, then scroll down to the bottom of the page. You will be able to select your old theme there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats what I though would happen, but under preferences only have the "prestashop" and the "prestashopcopy" I did. Nothing else is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Favre Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Hi tcardoso, Did you manually install the theme or did you use the theme install module to do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcardoso Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 I used the theme install module. I downloaded zip file to my pc, then used the "Import from your computer" and did Next... Next without even changing the options selected by default (not to ruin the installations, but apparently it got ruined any way ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Favre Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 On which version did you install it? 1.4.4? And you have no prestashop_alt in your back-office appearance section? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcardoso Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 Yes, version 1.4.4.0 and no I dont have anything in appearence (just the default and my copy of default) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Favre Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Could you check on your ftp the folder /prestashop/themes/ and check for any prestashop_alt folder ? When you install prestasop_alt : These modules are installed with prestashop_alt - blockcategoriestop - blockheaderlogos - blockadhome - blocksearchcenter These modules are deactivated with prestashop_alt - editorial - blockadvertising - blockbestsellers - blockmanufacturer - blockmyaccount - blocknewproducts - blockpaymentlogo - blocksearch - blockspecials - blocktags - blockviewed - blockstore These modules are activated with prestashop_alt - homefeatured - gsitemap - blockcart - blockcategories - blockcurrencies - blockcms - blocklanguages - blockpermanentlinks - blockuserinfo - statsdata - themeinstallator So you should deactivate the modules installed with prestashop_alt and activate those desactivated by prestashop_alt.

BWT Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 go to your prestashop theme folder copy the "preview theme image" and then go to "alt theme" folder and paste in the "preview" image upload it to your server and then look again in the back office I bet you can see the "Alt theme" to select under "appearance" this has happened to me before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcardoso Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 Nop, under themes on FTP only have my prestashop and prestashopCopy. I guess new install is in order well, my friend has done several changes already in positions, visible modules, etc.. I guess he will have to redo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Favre Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 You have had no error messages during the theme installation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcardoso Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 You have had no error messages during the theme installation? Nop, all normal. I even installed again the theme to check if it appears on there, but nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWT Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 listen if you have installed the theme but can not see it in the back office to activate it put this image inside the theme folder your trying to see, this will allow you to see the installed theme and activate it in the back office so that your using the new theme, if this file isn't in that folder your website will continue to look like the default theme and display the other theme's modules at the same time. I have had the same problem in the past and this is how i fixed it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcardoso Posted September 16, 2011 Author Share Posted September 16, 2011 As I told before under themes/ there isn't any directory for the new theme. Is there any way to save current items already in store in a new instalation? I would like to try and re-install and try to install new themes again, but saving the items in there, so that my friend doesn't have to insert them all again.

BWT Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Are you looking in the "local folders" or in the "server side folders" the newly uploaded files will be in the server side. If you have installed the theme via the "theme installer module" located in the back office try FTP the new theme straight to the "theme folder on your server with filezilla or Dreamweaver or wiseFTP, either zipped or un-zipped (Zipped will be faster upload) if you FTP the folder zipped to the server you'll have to unarchive it on the server before you can see the new theme in back office. Don't worry about saving the current configuration if it's there it's there already (Modules) uploading a new theme isn't going to negate the old stuff however it may revert to the newest when activated in back office. What are you using for FTP client again? And your hosting provider is who? If you can include a screen shot of your "Server Side" folders. It' possible if you FTP the files you may have placed them in the wrong folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWT Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Nop, under themes on FTP only have my prestashop and prestashopCopy. I guess new install is in order well, my friend has done several changes already in positions, visible modules, etc.. I guess he will have to redo prestashop and prestashopcopy- is this a copy of the hole prestashop folder? did you perhaps upload the theme to the wrong folder?

tcardoso Posted September 16, 2011 Author Share Posted September 16, 2011 Hi, I didn't upload anything, I used the online module to install. I'm only checking server side:) I could try to upload the zip file and try to install the theme, but at this stage I think I'm more interested in a new installation (10minutes) and then playing around trying to install couple themes again so I know in future I wont have any problems. Like I asked, any change of keeping items already there (maybe some expert/import system that prestashop has)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
