Back end problems with new theme.

[heartlandpet]

I purchased the Buddie Prestashop Theme on June 23rd. Since then I have discovered some problems with this theme as follows:

1. It is common to use the CMS Block for footer links. This developer has apparently disabled this module in his code. Instead the developer used a Static Block module and manually placed links in the content area.
Why would he do that?

Note: The CMS Block module is installed>configured>and enabled but has no effect at all on the footer or anything else.

2. Now I find out that the Preferences>Images area is apparently disabled as well. No changes I make on there have any effect.

Look at the following link:

Note the extended height of the main product image and the super small size of the thumbnails. No change I make within Preferences>Images has any effect at all.

How can I use a theme with the back end not working? I have contacted the developer, not much luck.

 

 

Any help with this would be appreciated.

About your questions

 

1. It is common to do that on some themes, not good practice, but still common.

 

2. The image size is adjusting, it is the bounding boxes that are keeping the images from looking like they are adjusting. The image regeneration cannot be disabled. If you are wanting to modify how things look in that regard, you will have to modify the css of the page.
