How to install themes/templates in PrestaShop

There is no doubt that PrestaShop is a CMS that has improved a lot over the years, and of course, like any good CMS, it must give us the possibility of using themes or templates of all kinds and colors, not to mention that they must also be of the responsive type, which is something 100% essential today for SEO. If you want to know how to install themes / templates in PrestaShop, then read on.

Nowadays, installing a template in PrestaShop is a very simple process, although it is clear that you always have to perform a backup first, not by the process itself, but because after installation it may be necessary to go back in In case our site does not look or work the way we expect.

The methods to backup PrestaShop are many. You can proceed manually by downloading a copy of the files via FTP and a backup of the database, or you can choose something a little more automated such as a backup of the cPanel account where the site is hosted, or using certain shop modules or tools provided by the supplier. The decision is yours, just remember to always have a backup handy before making any major changes.

What template or theme to choose for PrestaShop?

There are a huge number of templates out there for our online store, and there are many that are free and a few that are paid. We must also take into account our version of PrestaShop since not all themes are compatible with all versions, it is very important that the chosen theme is compatible with the version of PrestaShop that we use, so do not forget to check that detail too. This time we are going to install a free theme, although the process will be similar for paid themes.

If you do not know where to get a template for PrestaShop, you can check for example in its official store, or through sites like ThemeForest or TemplateMonster .

How to install themes/templates in PrestaShop

The first thing we will do is make a backup of the site, as we mentioned previously. You can perform the backup in the way you prefer, just make sure that it contains the files and database of your store.

Once your store is backed, we will download the theme. You will have to download it to your PC and leave it there for now, in a minute we will be uploading it to the site.

The next thing is to enter the PrestaShop Administrator area. In there, click on Preferences> Themes, this option is in the menu on the left.

On the new screen we will see several different methods to add a template to our PrestaShop:

The first option gives us the possibility to upload the theme from our PC.
The second is to load it using a URL.
The third is used to load it from the “themes” folder of the site.
There is a fourth option that is used to create a new theme, although that is much more going forward.

In this case, we will use the first option, «Import from your computer», so use it to upload the Zip file that contains the template you downloaded. Don’t forget to click on the “Save” button to start the process. Depending on your connection and the weight of the theme, the upload could take a few minutes, so just wait for it to finish. If any error occurs regarding the upload limit, ask your PrestaShop hosting provider to increase the PHP upload limit.

Once the theme is successfully uploaded, we will activate it. For that, enter Preferences> Themes again (if the site does not automatically redirect you there) and look for the new theme you uploaded. Now put the pointer over your new template and click on “Use this theme”.

Now you will be in a new screen where you can customize the theme a little. Here you can choose the modules of the template that you want to activate or deactivate. This, of course, will depend on each theme, so you must configure it in the way that best suits your site. When you finish editing the modules, don’t forget to click Save.

In the next step, depending on the theme, the system may tell you that you must regenerate the store images to adapt to the new template. Right there you will have a button to start the process, although regardless of whether you carry out the process or not, the theme should have already been installed.

And that’s it! Now your new PrestaShop template is 100% active. Enter your site’s index and you should see it fresh and with a new face.

Conclusion

This time we saw that the process of installing a theme in PrestaShop is very simple and no advanced knowledge is required to do it. If you do not know how to install a theme/template in PrestaShop simply follow the steps we have already mentioned: make a backup of your store, download a theme, upload it from the PrestaShop administrator, activate it and configure its modules according to your needs.
