In the admin panel go to preferences and the appearance scroll to the bottom and you will see you installed templete that you are currently using.

Just above that is some text with a link to install other templetes you may need to install the templete importer/exporter first.

Just follow the direction and once you are at the module for importing themes you will have two choices install from computer or from prestashop.

You will then have to return to the above preference/appearance to choose the new theme.

!Warning!

If you have alot of work done customizing your shop beware the new theme will change alot of customization you should not loose any products though.

That was my experience changing themes anyway, even after deleting the entire shop and uploading my backup I had to turn back on alot of modules that the new theme disabled then rearrange them on my page to be like it origially was.

That was because alot of info is kept in the database.

Need more info just post a reply.

first, let me thank you for your response!!! THANK YOU.

 

So tell me if I'm understanding you correctly.... upload the package to my server and save it to "THEMES" folder in my public_html file.

 

Then log into my back office in prestashop (the admin panel)......what is the template importer/exporter??.........

 

this is the first time i have attempted this.....my website only has the generic "Prestashop logo".... so i do not have any work yet customizing it at all...to risk losing.

 

thank you so much my friend! Im learning so much from your teaching.

Normally, the templates includes "img, modules and themes" folders. Just upload these folders to your prestashop root directory. Then go to your admin-->configuration-->appearance. Choose the installed(uploaded) template. If the template has the demo SQL. Just go to your phpMyadmin, then patch the demo SQL.

how do you patch the demo SQL...?

how do you patch the demo SQL...?

Just go to your web hosting Cpanel --> phpmyadmin --> find your prestashop database --> import

Just download the zip of the Template file to your computer. Then go to modules import/ export a theme if not installed , install it, then click on configure.

You will see in the box that comes up, Import from your computer, click browse and browse to the place on your pc where you saved the Theme zip file, then click next in the next box click next again.

In the next box change the config to what you want I suggest leave as default and click next again, then click finish.

Now go to preferences/ appearance, scroll down and select your new theme and click save.

Thats it you now have the new theme applied to your shop.

No Need to unzip or upload any files to your server.
