Geppert_Dev Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) I've got a special trouble. I cannot install any theme. If I try to do it by Prestashop installer it returns a message: "Bad configuration file". Installation it by hand in prestashop/themes was always failure because it doesn't show a new template in themes menu. Even when I tried copy and paste the directory of existing template and rename it as "mytheme" Prestashop didn't show it. What did I wrong? I must add that I have "Force compilation" set in Advanced->Performance and it didn't help...

gr_fenix Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 When you say "install" you mean import a theme by Back Office or "Copy paste" by FTP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geppert_Dev Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 Ok, I solved it. Just create a new empty theme in admin panel. Then turn off all available modules (I uninstalled it). Now copy and paste your new theme files into new theme folder and finally turn on: firstly your theme and then needed modules. It works for me. If you won't solve it this way, write here and I try to help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratboy Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Hi! I already solved but thank you really much, I'm saving your answer for later use.My way was different from yours but yours it's better since mine still doesn't use a new theme. What I did was:1. from the active theme (the one I have to duplicate, already a custom one made by me): advanced options > rename, change preview jpg2. go to database, _theme table > if wrong, fix the directory column of your themeIt worked for me.

pmirkovic Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) If you are using Safari read this. I had the "Bad configuration file" problem when attempting to use "add new theme" button in PS preferences, themes back office. Turns out it had to do with the setting of Safari browser I am using to download the zipped theme files. When downloading the theme file from the provider make sure it remains in it's original zip format and that it does not get automatically unpacked by Safari (control + click on the file you are downloading and choose "save downloaded file as (your_new_theme.zip)". If you would rather Safari just download the .zip file and leave if for you to decide what to do: Open Safari Click Preferences Uncheck the option Open “safe” files after downloading BTW, after Safari unpacked the zip files, new theme could not be added even if I archived the folders back to zip. Anyway, I am now able to use the "Add new theme" in preferences, theme (PrestaShop v. 1.6.0.9), try it and let me know if it worked for you too.

Then I get a page under Themes > Theme In the 'MODULES TO INSTALL' box, I have two items, 'Select the theme's modules you wish to enable' and 'Select the theme's modules you wish to disable'. I select the 20 modules to disable then 'finish'. I unzip the themes file and paste it into the newly-created folder in the themes folder. I don't know where to go from here. My new page is blank!
