Help. No sure what I have done

[the hat lady]

I am using 1.4.6.2

 

I have been customising a theme and although I am having hitches with the uploading of changes compared to my wamp all is slowly getting there.

 

Then this morning I noticed a warning in my smart saying make smarty writable...I thought it was.

 

So thinking I could maybe get changes to upload hours earlier I thought I try change in permissions...but all I achieve is a 404 blank website with words.

 

How do I get the theme back?

 

I tried coping my wamp smarty over but all I have now are files in the compile and nothing happening.

 

Why does it say make smarty writable if it doesnt warning why and how?

I have also noticed that the font in back office has changed and if I click modules an error comes up.

 

What a mess.

Hello!

 

To make smarty writable:

 

A.

1. access the admin panel of your site

2. go to the file manager

3. navigate to the tools/smarty folder

4. set permissions to 755

 

B.

1. access your site through FTP

2. navigate to the tools/smarty folder

3. set permissions to 755 (right click, depending on FTP client click on Properties or Permissions)

 

PrestaShop folders have ‘write’ permissions (also known as “CHMOD 755”) but do not apply these permissions recursively (to their subfolders): /config, /upload, /download, /tools/smarty/compile. Then make sure the following folders have ‘write’ permissions and apply these permissions recursively (to their subfolders): /img, /mails, /modules, /themes/prestashop/lang, /translations
