Magento theme installation
Install theme on live store
If you already have a Magento store and want to apply the theme, follow the instruction below. To install the theme you only need to upload all the theme files to your server and then enable the theme in the admin panel. But to avoid unexpected problems after installation, you should first prepare your Magento. Please strictly follow the steps described in this guide:
- First of all, please make sure your Magento installation version meets the template requirements. The detailed Magento update guide you will find on the site Magento Wiki.
- It is recommended to install the theme on a test server before you install it on a live store.
- Backup Magento files and the store database.
- Disable all cache systems which you have in your Magento
- Disable Merge & Minify JavaScript Files in Stores > Configuration > Advanced > Developer > JavaScript Settings and Merge & Minify CSS Files in Stores > Configuration > Advanced > Developer > CSS Settings. You can enable this feature after installation..
- Copy the content of the archive [app folder] to the root folder of your online shop. After copying run the console and navigate to the root shop folder.
- Run the following commands in the command line, one by one:
- bin/magento setup:upgrade
- bin/magento index:reindex
- bin/magento cache:clean
- Then follow the instructions for setting up the theme.
Important: creating backup before installation of any themes or extensions in Magento is extremely important, especially if you are working on a live store.
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.
Attention!!!
