Bad configuration file - on all the themes i try to install!


Recommended Posts

hello, so I am very new to prestashop and starting an online website. I really like the layout and easyness of prestashop, however. When ever i try to upload a new theme via the theme installer module I always get the error message 'bad configuration file' I have no clue how to fix this. my hosting server is with bluehost and i operate by using cpanel.

 

Its quite frustrating, I need help!

 

Thank you.

Thanks for helping me mike,

 

The current version of prestashop that i am using is 1.4.8.2 , I have multiple free themes that i am trying to test with the site however none of the themes will work, even the free themes (black and white) that prestashop.com offers wont work.

 

another theme im trying to install can be found here.

 

thanks again for your help, i'm quite new to hosting, website building, etc.

okay i tried that one you sent me and it works!!! yay!

 

but how come the other ones wont?

 

If you downloaded/purchased them anywhere other than our Addons store, you will likely want to contact the original developer of each theme in order to see what may need to be done to resolve this.

Hi!

 

I had the same issue and it turns out that inside that theme zip folder that I downloaded from templatemonster, there is anoder folder called themeinstallator. Inside that folder there was another theme.zip file and that is the one I had to use with the Import/Export Theme module in order to work. I hope this helps!

Hello.

 

I had the same problem (with version 1.5.4.1) and I tried again and again but I couldn't by my mac.

In my case, after a while I changed the PC (asked to my [spam-filter], he has windows) to use, and I succeed at once.

 

I thinks in my case, it was the problem of type of zip... I suppose.

If you use mac and didn't try to install by windows, I recommend to use it.
