Checkout Error After Upgrading Magento to 1.8.1 - magento

I updated my site from Magento 1.8.0 to 1.8.1 and now the checkout process won't proceed after choosing a shipping method. Can someone please advise on this matter?
Thanks

Solved. In the checkout.xml file of our template, we had to make the following change (change the methods.html file to info.html) The new base template could not override this line and therefore the checkout-payment-method-load div was not writtten. See here: https://magento.stackexchange.com/questions/10984/magneto-v1-8-one-page-checkout-not-loading-payment-information

I just copied the checkout.xml file from app/design/frontend/default/modern/layout/checkout.xml and overwrote the one in our custom directory app/design/frontend/YourName/default/layout with that one, and it fixed the problem. Same with the "white page" PayPal issue. If you have a paypal/ folder in the template folder of your custom skin you also need to replace that with the default one I guess for the paypal issue.

Unable to find header tab under system->configuration->design in magento 1.9.1

I have try to change default welcome message in magento 1.9.1.after some analysis i found that i need to change it in header in system->configuration->design tab.But am unable to find the header tab in magento 1.9.1
You are missing a step..
System > Configuration > GENERAL > Design
There are two ways to solve this issue.
First is to install new fresh magento which takes long process.
OR
Copy the core file system.xml in app/code/core/Mage/Page/etc
Create a similar directory folder in local folder (app/code/local/Mage/Page/etc)
Paste the system.xml on that directory
Clear your cache and refresh your page.
If the tab is still missing check your local folder and its file names. If there are no discrepancy, proceed to the first option.
I'm not sure if this is a bug of magento. It usually occurs during installation of magento upgrade.

How to change design of checkout billing in Magento 1.9.1?

I have copied the file ../template/checkout/onepage/billing.phtml to my theme and I have changed its code, but nothing changes. Other files like shipping changes when I make a modification.
Why does this happen? How can I change the billing.phtml?
To find out particular template file in magento, use template hint paths. here is the good tutorial to enable this:
http://excellencemagentoblog.com/magento-template-path-hints-magento
You can access Checkout billing step file from the following location in your theme:
template/persistent/checkout/onepage/billing.phtml
Hope this helps !!

Setting a fixed list.phtml and view.phtml in magento template?

I'm working on a big multisite + multitemplate (based on a same base-template) installation of magento 1.7, and have bumped into problem:
On a sub-domained template I don't know from where does magento take the list.phtml and view.phtml when it generates the pages with the list of products.
Can this be set-up per template, that it is hard-coded to get the list+view.phtml from the template\catalog\product\ path of the templates' app folder?
Thanks.
Gas
I found out, that it was the problem of the plugin used at other sub-sites (which replaced the list.phtml and view.phtml), but I deleted it on the working-site.
I've put the same plugin files also to the sub-site's template folder, and it finds the correct files now.

Fishpig's Magento WP Integration -- WP not using Magento Theme/Package

I've successfully installed Fishpig's Magento WordPress Integration extension. I followed the instructions where you install via Magento Connect and had no problems. This is by the way all on the development server which does not have Caching or Compiling enabled.
The Magento cart is installed in the webroot directory and WordPress is in subdirectory "wp" as stated in Fishpig's instructions. The Full Integration blog path is /blog.
PROBLEM:
When I visit the blog's page it is not using the Magento theme. I even set it to use the same layout (same as CMS's homepage) We have a custom Magento theme. Maybe there is something we are doing incorrectly Magento theme wise for Fishpig's extension not to work. Screenshots to come eventually but the host (DataGram) is down due to the flooding Downtown. Should be back hopefully today.
To clarify... WordPress is using its own database. In the Shop's admin panel->WordPress tab I setup Full Integration and set the path to "wp" and the blog path is blog.
So, now if I visit for example... example.com you are in the shop and if you visit example.com/blog you are in the fully integrated blog.
Bottom line is it seems to be configured fine in the admin panel. I am not requesting the blog page from the wp directory (I.E: example.com/wp) but from the fully integrated page (example.com/blog).
Our problem could be similar to what this person is experiencing:

Have a great weekend all!

Huzzah looks like I got things working :-)
The culprit was that this file:
"app/design/frontend/default/eboost/layout/wordpress.xml"
^^ was pointing to the wrong template filename. Corrected and was good to go. Modified line was number 66.
Funny thing is that on the top of that XML file it states:
"
Option 1 - local.xml (recommended)
Create a file named local.xml in your custom theme's layout folder. You can then make changes to the layout there by
using the relevant layout handle. This allows you to leave this file intact and recieve new features
when upgrading the extension.
Option 2 - copy this file
Copy this file and it's contents to a new file in your custom theme's layout folder named wordpress.xml.
Each time you upgrade, you will need to check with your copy of the file and
the copy in app/design/frontend/base/default/layout/wordpress.xml for changes and merge any you find"
Now, as stated in my Original Posting I installed FishPig extension using their instructions: http://fishpig.co.uk/wordpress-integration/docs/installation-and-configuration.html
^^ Therefore I don't know why it is setup using Option 2. That wordpress.xml is in our theme's layout directory.

I feel I should also state the other changes I did even though it doesn't seem like it contributed to making it work. Just doing for completeness:
-- Renamed the subdirectory /wp to /wordpress and changed all references to dev.eboost.com/wp to dev.eboost.com/wordpress within the DataBase using http://interconnectit.com/124/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/
-- Removed .htaccess from /wordpress folder
So bottom line is looks like it is working normally. We are now set for working on redesign for site.

Have a look at this.

I also used Fishpig and it is working.
What do you mean by visiting the blog page? Do you request the blog page from the wordpress directory?
If so, it doesn't change its design.
You have to request the blog within your shop.

Magento Onepage Checkout ChildHTML pages not updating?

I am working on a theme for Magento and simply modifying the base theme. When I am editing the app/design/frontend/base/default/template/checkout/onepage/billing.phtml file and any of the other files within the onepage folder it doesn't update the actual process of the checkout. Even if I erase the whole file the contents of that step on the checkout are still there. Is this content being pulled from another spot? ( i have cache disabled )
turn on template hints
add print_r(get_included_files()); at the end to your php to see what files and from where are included
make sure that your site is not APC cached
Has the exact same problem, for some reason there is another billing.phtml in the persistent directory that is being used....
