BigCommerce Footer links reset after theme update - themes

In the BigCommerce admin, I've set a number of links in the Theme/Header & Footer/Support Column Links, and those have been working great. Then at some later point in time, I've run a stencil pull to get the most up-to-date theme settings on my local sandbox when I need to tweak the theme.
My earlier link updates are visible the config.json file just fine.
However, when I later run stencil push with my theme edits back to the server (including the config.json file)... all of my Support Column footer links are reset back to the default.
Every time.
It's a PITA that I have to log back in and reset them each time.
I'm fairly new to BC development... is there something just blatantly obvious that I'm missing or doing wrong here?

moving cs cart to another directory without data

Firstly, I have made a sub directory for development and installed cs cart MVE in it.
I want to copy the current cs cart sub-directory and add it to the main domain folder without the testing dummy data I have added in the development phase.
How can I do that?
Secondly, if I have made new changes in the future on the development folder, how can I apply this change to the main domain folder?
Thanks a lot for the help in advance.
Note: a step-by-step guide will be very helpful!
There are a few ways to accomplish those results. First of all, if you just want the demo data to be removed you can alter the database and do the following:
Alter the table and remove every single product, property, banner, etc. Though if you have this code setup you could just run it in one time. Though I do not recommend this as this is way more work than needed and this wont get rid of the images and such stored by the demo data.
You can also do the following:
Go to the products section, click the checkbox in the top left and after that click the gear icon in the top right and select: "Delete selection". Do this a few times and for everything needed (banners, payment methods, shipping methods, etc.) and you are all set.
Or you can do this (recommended):
You can do a store-import of your current store and then switch the directories around so you have no downtime. This is also the way I do my development. You can get the store-import addon for free in the cs-cart marketplace.
But if you were looking for a way just to copy a store without transferring any data you could think about what you want to copy. Basically every setting is stored in the database (so are this similar?). Furthermore every image path, etc. is stored in the database (so are these similar?). And so on. The best way I see how you can do this is by running a store import (this will give you the option to remove all the demo data before importing the new data, you could install a new version of cs-cart with no data, then it will delete all the current data you allready have.)
Hopefully my answer suffices, feel free to ask if you stumble across some problems.

Prestashop new theme collides with default theme

I am currently pulling hair out of my head, as I have spent over 7 hours on this. Here's the problem
I am setting prestashop on my free hosting and trying to install new theme (freshmarket). Everything installs just fine but effects are not working. There are some elements of the default-bootstrap style I cant remove, and I've tried many ways (deleting modules, deleting files directly from ftp folders etc etc) Logo stays the same, menu stays the same, green bar isn't there, and even photos of sample products are from default theme.
here is the url http://nasiona.cba.pl/
and it should look like this www.templatemela.com/demo/PRS050107/
I checked version description of theme and it says it would work on prestashop 1.6.1.4 (which is installed on the server).
#Egg, yes, you're right, sorry.
as for your question - my settings http://i63.tinypic.com/2yvjwye.png (i hope you can see anything cause I wanted to show it all)
Disable the cache (you can refer to Prestashop help http://doc.prestashop.com), reload the page with Ctrl + F5 (clear your browser cache) and check.

Magento showing different product quantities on different pages

We have a Magento site running on version 1.7.0 on the Argento theme that seems to be having intermittent issues with products not appearing. This appears to happen on certain pages and not others.
For example, if you add a product from the homepage or single category pages, it will show immediately as being part of the cart (note, Argento uses AjaxPro for the cart). However, once you navigate to another page, say "My Cart" or "Checkout" the total will show as zero. Doing a hard-refresh on the browser will update the total.
Additionally, if you open the Chrome Dev tools, navigate to "Network" and then check "disable cache" everything runs perfectly.
Things we have tried to resolve this:
Flushing/Clearing/Disabling the Magento cache. Seems to make things slightly better but doesn't clear up the issue.
x-cache-control meta tag. Same as above, issue seems to be less frequent but still definitely appearing.
Turn off AjaxPro. Our initial belief was that this plugin was causing issues, but turning it off has no effect.
Re-Index. Has no effect.
Added $.ajaxSetup({"cache" : false}) at the top of our scripts. This also has no effect.
Any advice or tips on where to look next would be appreciated.
It turns out that our hosting provider had set up the installation with the sessions stored in memcache. We switched this over to file storage in our local.xml and it fixed the issue.

Magento cart page is not showing

My Magento cart page is not showing at all. It just comes up with a blank page. Previously this site was developed by another developer and He has disabled the Checkout process. Now I cannot find which settings he has done to stop the checkout process.
Can anyone tell me what are the possibilities to stop the default module from working.
Also every thing else is coming right on the cart page. Header and footer and all the things just that it is not rendering the html for cart block. The Content just came up empty, with no HTML.
Please open the adminpanel and then go to the
System/Configuration/Advanced
there is a tab Disable Modules Output and then enable the Mage_checkout module
As I have told you the previous developer have disabled the modules. But that was not the case the developer have installed some extensions to disable the checkout process but that does not work very well. Then he tries to delete the extensions the wrong way so the entries that were made by those extensions was still in the database table "core_config_data".
And these values are being used by the left over files of the extensions ans he has overridden the magento core files for that. I just copy and replace the core magento files and also cleared the table "core_config_data" table and all things got working once again.

opencart theme not changing

I installed opencart 1.5.6 on my localhost, and it's not possible for me to change the theme. The admin panel says the new theme is active, but the default theme always appears.
I made the same installation on a remote server, and everything is working well there.
I have no idea what's wrong on my localhost. I'm on a new installation on Ubuntu 12.4 with a default configuration for LAMP. I tried to compare the two phpinfo but there are so many things that are different that gives me no clue.
It was just a problem of rights on the theme folder. Very stupid ...
First, I would check your database to see if the change is registered. Use phpMyAdmin (or whatever included with your LAMP stack) and look at the "oc_setting" (prefix may differ) and see if the config_template is set to the template you've chosen via the admin. This will help identify if the issue is database related.
I have the solution, the ACTUAL solution. (For me anyway)
Extract the theme.
Login to your OpenCart website using FTP. Please read our article if
you need help using FTP.
Upload the catalog and images folders to the root of your OpenCart installation.
Once the upload is finished, log into your OpenCart Dashboard and go
to System > Settings
Choose your website from the list, check the box next to it, and select “Edit”
In the store tab you will now see your new theme option available under 'Template'
Click Save.
It has now been updated.
Many, many tutorials online at the moment incorrectly instruct people to upload their theme directly into the catalog > view > theme location as though it were a WordPress theme or similar. You actually need to put the appropriate resources where they need to be.
