Magento Theme Installation

This theme is not compatible with Magento 1.9 engine. It will work with the Magento 2.2.5 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.
  • themeXXX
    • app

You can find the theme requirements on the Theme Live-Demo page.

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 content, and all your website data will be LOST.

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.

Template Configuration

We are going to review template configuration options based on the example. We will configure it the same way as our Live Demo template, without affecting products data.

Activate the New Theme

Check the tutorial on how to Activate the New Magento Theme.
