Magento Theme Installation

This theme is not compatible with Magento 1.9 engine. It will work with the Magento 2.2.2 engine only.

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.

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.

Pages Configuration

In order to make your template look exactly like our Live Demo, you need to set up store pages in a specific way. We provide all the files with the pages source code. You need to add them into Magento admin panel as per the instructions below using the settings table. Settings table is located on the Template Settings page on the template preview page.

The main template page will be affected the most. It usually contains the following elements: banners, slider, etc.

We recommend that you disable the WYSIWYG editor. To do this, from the admin top menu select Stores > Configuration. Open the "Content Management" section uncheck and in the WYSIWYG Options window set "Enable WYSIWYG Editor" option to "Disabled Completely".

In case you have already made the changes to your pages code and would like to add our code without affecting your changes, it is recommended to contact professional technicians or prepare a backup before making changes.

  1. From the top menu select Content > Pages. Here you can find all the store pages. Home page, About Us and Customer Service should already be available, so you don't need to add them. You only need to update the pages HTML and XML content. Open any of them in order to get the access to the content.
  2. Open the page and select the Content tab. It contains the HTML code of the page. You can take the page HTML code from the appropriate source file. You can see the list of source files included in the "Template Settings" section on your templates preview page. Copy the code from the source file and paste it to the content area.
  3. When you are done with the HTML code, switch to "Design" tab. It contains the page XML code. XML code allows you to add Magento static blocks and widgets to the page. The XML code should be copied the same way as the HTML from the source file. Copy the XML code to the "Layout Update XML" area.
  4. Don't forget to select the valid "Layout" option.
  5. In case you need to add a new page, click the "Add New Page" button in the top right corner.
