Easy Setup 1.4 Modern Theme
With all the confusion surrounding the modern theme in the latest versions of magento I just wanted to let people know that if your magento installation doesn’t come with the modern theme or if you are struggling with the magento connect versions of the theme then this may help you.
What you should do in the case of the above is:
- Download the .zip of the latest version of Magento from the official magento website.
- Navigate to app>design>frontend>default> and copy your modern folder.
- Paste your modern folder into app>design>frontend>base>.
- Then go to your skin>frontend>default> and copy your modern folder.
- Paste your skin modern folder into skin>frontend>base>.
You can now upload your ‘base’ folders from app>design>frontend> and also skin>frontend> to your website.
The next step is to go into your admin section and change your package. Set it up similar to the following:
You should then clear your magento cache and reindex your data for good measure and all should be well with your e-commerce website. Thanks for visiting ecommerce website design and our magento blog.
