Theme 001 for Prestashop

[LEEH77]

I want t oinstall this theme but this are the instructions i recieved after i unzipped:

 

Installation

- Having the package downloaded, extract the contents of the theme folder to your

Prestashop installation root directory.

- Patch your prestashop database with the provided source/dump.sql (only if you want

sample contents) Warning! Patching the database with our sql dump will remove your

data, so please back it up before patching.

- Log into Prestashop administration panel, go to Preferences → Appearance and select your

theme in the Themes tab.

 

 

I do not know where this root directory is. I am using a host, Host1Plus and i need some help on changing my theme. thanks

I do not know where this root directory is

 

It is the topmost directory of prestashop where all the prestashop related files live. It may be within a higher level directory called www or public_html or www_root or www_home etc.

 

Within the prestashop installation root directory you will find, (amongst others), following files/folders for example

 

-classes

-config

-...

-404.php

-address.php

-...

 

However, there is a theme import/export module. You may find it easier to use this module to import your theme (assuming you are using a version that supports this module). Go to Back Office > Modules and install "import/export a theme" module if not already. Then go into configuration for the theme to import the theme (self explanatory). Once it is imported it is a matter of applying the themes in Back Office > Modules > Themes.

 

Before doing anything else make a backup of existing installation including database. Also you may want to make sure that the theme is validated for your version.
