agelessamber Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Good evening When I first setup my store it was with version 1.4.0.17. I did a copy of the prestashop theme and renamed the copy and customised it. I have been following upgrades and tonight managed to upgrade to the latest version. Question I would imagine the files in the prestashop theme have been updated and presumably have better SEO handling for instance. To take advantage of a proper upgrade (my theme would not be included in an upgrade presumably) is there a way of upgrading my customised theme to ensure I am running with all the latest code in all the files? Or do I have to manually copy the latest prestashop theme and literally redo it over from scratch? Not quite sure what is best here. Can anyone enlighten me please. many thanks Chelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhapsody Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I think you can upgrade with the old theme files, but you may want to upgrade the theme anyway to take advantage of some of the enhancements and fixes. I use a modified Prestashop theme in my shop. I use WinMerge to compare the source files from the old unmodified Prestashop theme files and the new Prestashop theme files to look for changes. I have a list of files that I have modified and look for any files in that list that have been changed. This is made easier because I keep just the files I've modified in a local directory that has the same structure as Prestashop. Create a new directory under themes with a name such as prestashop-mod1451 and upload the modified theme there. That way you can activate it and test against the theme you currently use.

christmascrackers Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I upgraded without any problems or so I thought. A customer told me my site wasn't loading in IE 7 or 8 and sure enough it isn't. I use a theme from Prestashopic. BTW it's loads perfectly in FF, Safari, Opera and Chrome. Just IE 7 & 8 which accounts for 75% of my visitors! I tried the prsetashop alt theme and that didn't work either. I've rolled back to the default theme in grey and it works in IE. This is a real disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Kranzler Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Hi christmascrackers, Did you try the suggestion posted above by Rhapsody? Additionally, you can also try contacting the developers at Prestashopic directly for assistance. -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually bought another theme thinking that might solve the problem but it didn't. I had turned on CCC for CSS in the performance section of preferences and this caused my themes to stop loading correcty in IE7, 8 and 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
