When I make a change to “app/design/adminhtml/default/default/template/page/head.phtml” or other files in the adminhtml folders, the changes I make have no effect on the site. The site seems to be using old versions of my files but I have no idea where it is getting them from. I have deleted the cache multiple times and logged in/out of admin. I’ve also managed to turn on path hints in the admin panel and can see that the correct files are being used but the code in the files is incorrect. If I rename the file to _head.phtml then as you'd expect, the styling, js and meta tags etc go missing but when I make a simple edit to that same file the change is not reflected.
I recently upgraded from 1.6.2 to 1.7 - Am I missing something?

I am trying to update cart page in Magento, and more specifically files from web/template/cart. I copied all these files to my custom theme, but somehow all changes are ignored and Magento still using files from vendor. It only happens to html file - phtml are updating correctly.
Tried to clear cache etc. but without any success.
Any ideas?
What file are you editing? Put some example for the name and directory. If the changes not applied so don´t rewritting the files.
Has opencart 2.1 a cache system apart from modification?
I'm trying to restyle an opencart 2.1 site.
I've modified catalog/view/theme/my-theme/template/product/product.tpl
but I'm not able to see my updates.
The site has only 1 modification that affects Admin area...I've also tried to disable it and update cache, but without success.
I've tried to open site in another browser, but nothing.
Finally I've tried to rename product.tpl to product111.tpl (also in view/theme/default/product)... but the original product page is still loaded.
Does someone know why this happens?
UPDATE : I haven't found a solution, so I made a fresh installation, applied custom theme and then copied modified files... everything is Ok now. If I modify product.tpl, all changes are visible in product page.
If you have vQmod installed there is a vqcache also.
You can check to see if you have vQmod installed like this:
yoursite.com/vqmod/install
It should usually clear itself, but if it doesn't then you can safely rename the vqcache folder to clear it.
The reason I say rename rather than delete is that sometimes a change to the cache will show an error which wasn't spotted when the original change was made and might prevent orders until it's fixed. If you rename then you can place the folder back and it will work again but of course you should fix the error when you can.
In prestashop I wanted to customize the default bankwire payment module. I have changed many things there in the payment.php file which is working file, but when I tried to change the smarty file(payment_execution.tpl) it did not showed any changes. I tried to remove cache from the cache folder then I tried every process which tells to remove cache, disable cache from the store. But it did not showed the changes in the frontend. I also made the same changes inside prestashop theme folder (themes/default-bootstrap/module/bankwire) but still it did not showed the changes. So can someone tell me what's the issue here?
Delete everything inside cache/smarty/cache and cache/smarty/compile
Set the option Template compilation in ADVANCED PARAMETERS > PERFORMANCE
to Recompile templates if the files have been updated
Search for all files named payment_execution.tpl in PrestaShop
If it doesn't work you'll need to check the file modules\bankwire\controllers\front\payment.php and follow the instruction $this->setTemplate('payment_execution.tpl'); step by step to see the path of the tpl (you will need a php debugger for that)
This is my first time working with Magento and here is what happend: I spent two days reading the documentation and tweaking the settings to fit my needs. I then installed this theme:
http://themeforest.net/item/decostore-magento-theme/1876494?WT.ac=category_thumb&WT.seg_1=category_thumb&WT.z_author=8theme
The problem is that the theme didn't work the way I was expecting and now I'd like to rollback to the default theme and completely remove everything added by this theme to my installation.
Unfortunately, I didn't backup the installation and database before I installed the new theme and I have no idea where to start.
Thanks in advance.
1. Switching back to default theme
Go to the admin area and then system > configuration > design
Change "Current Package Name" to 'default' and make sure all inputs under the "Themes" section are empty. This will return you to the default theme.
2. Completely remove everything added by this theme
I take it from your question that you are not using any form of source control. Might be an idea to look into this for the future :)
Magento 1.7 has introduced backup and rollback features so you may also want to check that out.
If this is the case, backup everything before you start removing files and directories as described below
Anyway, to completely remove all files and directories added when you installed the module, unfortunately it will simply be a case of manually finding the files and directories deleting.
The easiest way to do this will be to find the original source code you received when you purchased the theme and removing the corresponding files from your site. When removing directories be careful to only remove those specific to the theme - It will have been sent to you structured so that you can easily drag straight in to your web root - so will contain some other directories required by Magento, simply to give it the correct hierarchy.
At the very least there will be files and folders specific to the theme located in the following directories:
app/design/frontend
skin/frontend
js
and also most likely some more in the following:
app/etc/modules
app/design/adminhtml
app/locale
I know the result for this can be different for everyone, but in case someone else comes across my specific case, it was the N98 folder under app/code/community/N98 that caused the problem. Particularly their CustomerGroupCheckout plugin as shown here: https://github.com/amenk/N98_CustomerGroupCheckout
Removing the N98 folder brought back the configuration page.
I have a rather simple question.
I want to install a new magento theme. In the documentation it says to overwrite the default 'app' and 'skin' folders with the theme's 'app' and 'skin' folders.
"8. Upload the "app" and "skin" folders from the template themeXX folder to your Magento root
folder (accept the replacement)"
However, when I am doing that, it prompts me to download magento again thru the magento installation wizard.
To me, it sounds more reasonable to just copy the contents of the 'app' and 'skin' folders of the new theme into the default 'app' and 'skin' folders of the magento framework as they contain some other folders that probably should remain intact.
Any suggestions please?
Did you first install the default Magento in the folder where you want to run it? You will need a running installation of Magento before you can go ahead and install a team.
If it keeps promting you check that you're on the right address in the address bar of your browser. To install magento you would have been redirected to [magento]/downloader/
As a last resort you could open up index.php and remove the code redirecting you the downloader folder, but at this point you might be better off re-installing Magento (remove everything in the directory and follow the install steps again) since something probably went wrong.
After you've installed Magento check if you see the default store interface and can access the admin areas before installing anything else (including a theme)!
There's absolutely no need to overwrite the app and skin folders. In fact, if you do so, you could easily overwrite just about all of Magento's functionality and break your system.
That would be why you're getting a new installation prompt.
What's the theme you are installing, and what's the link to the page where they give that information?
Generally a theme will be packaged will a folder structure that looks like this:
theme_package
theme_package/app
theme_package/app/code
theme_package/app/code/local
theme_package/app/code/local/Namespace
theme_package/app/code/local/Namespace/Themename
theme_package/app/code/local/Namespace/Themename/Block
theme_package/app/code/local/Namespace/Themename/etc
theme_package/app/design
theme_package/app/design/frontend
theme_package/app/design/frontend/base
theme_package/app/design/frontend/base/themename
theme_package/app/design/frontend/base/themename/layout
theme_package/app/design/frontend/base/themename/template
theme_package/skin
theme_package/skin/css
theme_package/skin/js
and so on.
This content needs to be merged as you said.
Many of these folders already exist, for instance app/code/, app/design/frontend/base/, skin/css/, skin/js/
Just copy any new files or folders.
#george i know it's been a while since anything has been said on here, but i just want people to know for future reference that you only have to add to the app/design/frontend/default/[theme name] and skin/frontend/default/[theme name] folders like sg3s stated. i lost about 4 hours to this tonight b/c i bought a theme and they didn't specify that you only need to add to the folders not overwrite them.
