nexgenappliances Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I wanted to try a new theme in my 1 year old prestashop site. Installing the theme totally destroyed my site and I spent 3 hours rebuilding the old theme. Turns out our menu structure is not compatible with the new theme. Since I spent money on it, I would like to use it. However, I dont want to take my site offline for days while I figure out the new theme and associated modules. Whats the best way to deploy themes without blowing up your store? One would assume that since presta has a theme manager, where one can pick themes, that you would be able to install a theme, configure it, and then freely switch between installed themes. As I now know, this is not the case what so ever. (huge fail btw, stupid to have a theme manager if you cant have different themes installed and configured). So how do others with existing stores transition into new themes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vekia Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 if i were you modifications like that i will do on localhost. i mean: run some server app (like xampp) on your PC, download all your prestashop filesystem and work there. when everything will work as you expect - upload everything to your remote, also database.
