Magento theme installation

This theme is not compatible with Magento 1.9 engine. It will work with the Magento 2.1.7 engine only.
If you already have a Magento store and want to apply the theme, follow the instruction below.

Install Theme on Live Store

To install the theme you only need to upload all the theme files (the app folder) to your server and then enable the theme in the admin panel.

If you don't want to spend your time installing the theme, don't hesitate to order installation service using our live-chat.

But to avoid unexpected problems after installation, you should first prepare your Magento. Please strictly follow the steps described in this guide:

Attention!

Please DO NOT import sample data if you have a live website as it will completely replace your database contents, and all your website data will be LOST.

First of all, please make sure your Magento installation version meets the template requirements. The detailed Magento update guide you will find on the Magento User Guide.

*It is recommended to install the theme on a test server before you install it on a live store.

Step 1. Backup Magento files
Backup Magento files and the store database.

Important: creating backup before installation of any themes or extensions in Magento is extremely important, especially if you are working on a live store.

On the Admin sidebar, tap System. Then under Tools, choose Backups.

In the upper-right corner, tap the button for the type of backup you want to create:

System Backup-
creates a complete backup of the database and the file system. During the process, you can choose to include the media folder in the backup.
Database and Media Backup- creates a backup of the database and the media folder.
Database Backup-
creates a backup of the database.

To put the store into maintenance mode during the backup, mark the checkbox. When the backup is complete, maintenance mode is turned off automatically.

For a system backup, mark the Exclude checkbox if you do NOT want to include the media folder. Then when prompted, confirm the action.(press OK)

The backaps files stored under the var > backups folder.

In case of Error 503 DELETE the maintenance.flag file from var folder.

Step 2. Disable the cache
Disable all cache systems which you have in your Magento.

Important: when developing your Magento store, in order to be able to see changes immediately, you should completely disable the cache. You can enable it after you finish configuring your store.

    On the Admin sidebar, tap System. Then under Tools, choose Cache Management.

    Choose Select All from the Mass Action dropdown.

    Then you need to select Disable from the Action dropdown and press the Submit button.

    Do not forget to enable the cache after the theme installation and configuration.

    Step 3. Upload the app folder

    Now you need to copy the zipped content of the theme folder (the app folder) to the root folder of your online shop.

    • theme
      contains Magento theme files and directories that should be uploaded to the root directory of your Magento installation .
      • app
    Find the theme > app folder. You need to archive (.zip) the app folder to upload it to the server. Use the WinZip 9+ (for Windows) or Stuffit Expander 10+ (for Mac) to compress the app folder.

    Log into cPanel > navigate to the Files section and click on the File Manager icon.

    Once you select your directory, click on the Go button.

    Open the root folder of your online store.

    Click on the Upload icon.

    Make sure you've set the correct permissions type for the app folder. The permissions should be CHMOD 755 or 777, depending on your server configuration.

    Click on the Browse button.

    Find the app.zip. Click Open.

    Once the process is completed press on the Go Back to link.

    Step 4. Unzip the app folder

    Select the uploaded zip file and click the Extract icon

    Make sure the right folder is indicated. Press the Extract File(s) button.

    Then press the Close button and Reload the File Manager page.

    You can delete the .zip folder after unzipping.

    Step 5. Run the console

    After unzipping run the console and navigate to the root directory of your store.

    Attention!!!

    Due to the peculiarities of the engine you will have to use any console environment with the command line. Module configuration will be mainly performed via the command line. If you perform changes on the hosting server, you can contact your hosting provider for help and use the hosting command line.
  1. Run the following commands in the command line, one by one:
    1. bin/magento setup:upgrade
    2. bin/magento index:reindex
    3. bin/magento cache:clean
  2. Then follow the instructions for setting up the theme.
We will show how configure your theme the same way as in our Live Demo template, without affecting your products data.

After the theme installation, no difference will appear on your site frontend.

Open Magento admin panel and navigate to the Content > Configuration menu.
In the list of stores click edit in the "Action" column against the Global-Main Website.

In the Default Theme section select the required theme in the Applied Theme option drop-down list and, then click Save Configuration button.
