3 1. How to update the theme? To update the theme you need to follow almost the same steps as when you installed it. 1. Backup your Magento installation and the store database. Important: If you have made any changes in the theme files (e.g. you have done CSS stylesheet customization), backup all your changes. You can restore those changes after the theme is updated. 2. Disable compilation in System > Tools > Compilation, if it is enabled. 3. Using your FTP client (like FileZilla) go to your Magento root directory (it is the directory on your server where Magento is installed). Clear the store cache in var/cache directory (delete all the files inside, but do not delete var/cache directory!). It's necessary since Magento uses cache heavily. Next, delete all cookies for your store domain in your web browser. All these steps will eliminate most of potential problems. 4. Log out from Magento admin panel. Do not just close the browser window: you need to click Log Out link to refresh the access control system. 5. Extract the theme contents on your computer and navigate inside the extracted folder. 6. Navigate inside Theme directory. Using your FTP client upload content of Theme directory to your Magento root directory. Important: Files of the new version have to overwrite files of the previous version. 7. Omit this step if you don't use Magento 1.5.x. If you use Magento 1.5.x: navigate inside Theme - Magento 1.5.x directory. Using your FTP client upload content of Theme - Magento 1.5.x directory to your Magento root directory. Note: This will overwrite some theme files. If you get 404 not found when trying to open theme configuration pages in the admin panel after installation of the theme, you need to log out and log in again to refresh the access control system. 3

4 If you encounter any other problems after updating the theme: log out from Magento admin panel, clear the store cache under var/cache, and log in again. 4
