Help! Can't install template.

[jake055555]

Hi I am in desperate need of help. I have deleted my template files by mistake without backing them up and now i am back to the stock template. I can not load a new template onto my zencart. I've tried multiple times with no luck. I have also edited my core files for zencart. I was Wondering If there was a way to reinstall zencart with out losing my 400+ products I have listed. my website is www.grannysgiftsales.com/store2 . Thank you in advance.

Hi and Welcome to the Forum.

At this point a reinstall could cause more problems than it solves.

Most of your date is stored in your database so as long as you still have that you are in very good shape. Make sure to take a backup NOW so that you have a copy.

As to the Template, what exactly did you delete?

well I had purple shades as my template and i deleted from /public_html/store2/includes/templates and in that folder was the purple shades template folder and i erased that because i was trying to update the template.

Have you re-uploaded the Purple Shades Template installing it like you did the first time? That is all it should take to get the Template working again.

yes i have tried this before and If you refer back to the website now (www.grannysgiftsales.com) this is what happens.

After switching Templates did you remember to use:

Admin > Tools > Layout Boxes Controller - click the 'reset' button at page bottom
