Updates

Preparing

  1. Make a backup of your shop.
  2. Navigate to Advanced Parameters → Performance, and set:
    • Template compilation to Force compilation
    • Cache to No
  3. Go to Theme Settings → Welcome tab.
  4. Enter your theme Purchase ID in the designated field and save.
  5. Disable or clear third-party cache (e.g. server cache, performance modules). After the theme update, the cache must be cleared manually, as third-party caching is not handled automatically by the theme update process.

  2. Click Check for Updates to see if any updates are available.
  3. Click Run Update and wait for the page to reload.
  4. You should see the message: The update was installed successfully.
  5. Done! Your theme is now updated.

Semi-Automatic Update

This method allows you to place the update archive directly into your theme’s upload folder and trigger the update from the back office.

  1. Locate the update archive you received (X.X.X.zip) and upload it to your /PRESTASHOP_ROOT/upload/ folder
  2. In your PrestaShop back office, go to Theme Settings → Welcome and click Update (or Run Update).
  3. Wait for the update to complete and the page to reload.
    You should see the message: The update has been installed successfully.
  4. Done! Your theme is now updated.

Manual Copying of Update Files

Follow the preparation steps above (backup and performance settings), then continue with the manual update:

  1. Open the downloaded archive, go to the Updates folder, and unzip the update archive.
  2. Upload the extracted themes and modules folders to the root of your PrestaShop installation, and replace the existing files when prompted.
  3. Done! Your theme is now updated.
