stephencowan Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I was running i think prestashop version 1.4.9 and i decided to install install a new theme. I didn't realize the theme/modules were for 1.5+ so when i installed it broke my site. I decided to delete everything off site (stupid me) and re-upload my backup. After this my site still did not work so i called my hosting company and they helped me restore all the files from how my site was the day before, but they also had me restore my database, which i have not backed up since 2011. So now my website doesn't work at all since my database is toast and i have to re-create my website using my new theme. What i want to know is since i have all the contents of my site how can i install this theme and load my products back onto my site without having to re-add each product one at a time? I have no idea where any of the product files etc are located within the files but i am convinced there is a faster way of re-creating my site without having to implement everything all over again. Anyone have any suggestions for fixes with this problem would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjamin utterback Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Hi Stephen, If you lost your database then you know that you have to re-create the site. If you have a CSV file, that would ideal. You can also create a CSV file and upload them by using the Advance Parameters>CSV Import. You can read the documentation about CSV import here, http://doc.prestashop.com/display/PS15/Understanding+The+Advanced+Parameters#UnderstandingTheAdvancedParameters-CSVImport PS: This subforum is meant for the actual prestashop.com website and PrestaShop forum (wrong links, bugs in the forum, issues with the display) I will move this post to the General Discussion.
