I just followed this tutorial to create a custom new theme for my localhost opencart 2.2 installation. I followed the following instructions from the tutorial :
Let's create a new directory, named mycustomtheme underneath catalog/view/theme. ..... Furthermore, you need to create three more directories within the mycustomtheme directory: image, stylesheet, and templates.
Then I navigated to Admin->System->Settings and clicked on the 'Edit' button of the default store and in the subsequent page expected to get the custom theme in the 'Theme' dropdown but only the 'Default Store theme ' was there.
The tutorial tells that I am supposed to get a 'Template' dropdown there and I found a 'Theme' dropdown instead due to version change I think.
But how to activate the new theme then ?
To change a theme on Opencart 2.2.0.0, follow below setting:
Login to admin panel.
Go to Extension > Themes > Edit
Select your theme for Theme Directory option
Click on save to activate your new theme.
In opencart 2.2 you need to go into the Admin->Extensions->Themes
I know it's bit late to answer but it can be helpful to others.
In OpenCart 2.3.0.2 creating a custom theme is little complex , i have already answered it here , you can check this link

I have installed Magento CE 1.9.1.0 with sample data. I have copied the default theme of interface rwd and rename it as test theme. Update the package and theme from the admin panel and Save the same. But when refresh the front panel from browser no data will be displayed including images etc. Please help me to know what are the tricks behind the same.
Why data is lost while new theme has been activated?
How to see the sample data?
What are the files am I need to configure more?
you want to Customize RWD theme.in your rwd package you can make a new theme like
design/frontend/rwd/yourtheme and start copying the files which you want to customize in yourtheme.
copy files from design/frontend/rwd/default to design/frontend/rwd/yourtheme and start customization.
and also check this link too
If my understanding is right, you already create your own theme package and set it in the System > Configuration > Design (and correctly followed the magento fallback system) Link
Next, if your working on locally, make sure to set the cache as disabled. Navigate to System > Cache management and select all, refresh and then disabled it.
I have a slider on my home page. Thats correct but when I go to product page you see also the slider. Where can I turns this off?
I want it only on the home page.
Thanks!!
Use latest version of magento and the Magikshop theme from Themeforest.
First of all, have you installed the seperate extension for slider or it comes with your theme? If it was default provided by your theme.Then you can find the setting to configure the slider in
"System->configuration" in your admin panel.
Search for the banner or slider you may get the setting there to select which page you want to show the slider.
The setting may be different according to the slider.
If you have installed the extension yourself then you may find the banner/slider menu in the admin panel.
Hope this will help.
If the slider is a widget, you should be able to specify the pages that show a widget instance. The widgets that are in use can be found in the CMS section of the Magento Admin panel.
If the slider is a block you probably need to disable/remove/unset that block from your product detail page. To disable block on a particular page, you need to edit your layout Xml file. These files are most probably found in the following folder:
app/design/frontend/THEME/default/layout/
How to unset a block is described, e.g. here: Magento - remove block using update XML
I am using magento 1.8. I downloaded a theme,
http://www.templatemela.com/new-style-magento-theme.html
Now I have the theme zip file. I searched over the internet but I couldn’t find any solution. I replaced the folders app, js, skin of magento root folder with the folders from theme folder. After that to activate the theme I open the admn dashboard I got an error,
The page isn't redirecting properly
Which is the correct way to install a new theme to magento?
Any one provide the step by step installation.
After you install the theme, go to System -> Configuration -> Design.
For the Themes section, set everything to modern, since that’s the name of the theme.
The theme will now be applied.
If you’re running the default install, you can make the front page look how the demo store on here does. For that you’ll need to update the CMS blocks, so go to CMS -> Manage Pages. Click on the Home Page.
You’ll be in the General Information section. Under Content, put the following:
{{block type="core/template" template="sample/home.phtml"}}
You can either comment out what’s already there, or just remove it completely.
Then you need to go to Custom Design and set the Layout to 1 column.
That’s it! Hope It will help you.

I'm using Magento WordPress Integration I'm wondering how to add fishpig "blog" link to main navigation in magento ? Currently it's only adding a link to my top header navigation.
Thanks
The above answer correctly shows how to add a link to your toplinks, however this is included in the extension by default. If you want to do this, you can enable/disable this from the extension's configuration area.
If you are referring to the Topmenu (the Category menu), it is now possible to create a custom Menu in the WordPress Admin and have this automatically added to your Magento Topmenu.
To do this, create a menu in WordPress. If you only want a single link to your blog, create a menu with this just this link in. Next, login to the Magento Admin and go to the configuration area for WordPress Integration. Under the fieldset labelled 'Menu', you can enable menu integration and select your newly created menu.
This will only work if your theme uses the Magento Topmenu block, which is the default menu block for Magento 1.7. Some custom themes use a custom menu extension for this menu and it is highly unlikely that this custom extension will call the necessary event.
As always, ensure you are using the latest version of WordPress Integration as this feature is quite new and has only recently been added.
I'm trying to set up a dynamic menu in a Magento store (v1.7 community edition with the hellowired theme) and can't figure it out why on earth is not being displayed on my home page.
I don't know if there's a mistake in the call on the .phtml files of the theme or if I'm missing some configuration. I have already configured it as described in the theme's documentation and set several products and I'm still not seeing the menu displayed.
If I hard code the category call, it works fine, but it's just a workaround since I need it to be dynamic.
Turns Out for the theme I was using (The Hellowired one, but it appears to apply to several) it was required to set-up all categories under the Default Category. This question was answered to me by an admin of the theme site.
Make sure that the flag Is Active and Include in Navigation Menu set to "YES" from admin panel under General Information Tab in Catalog->Manage Categories.
