How do I go about switching templates?

[SilverHD]

Are there any step-by-step instructions available to switch templates. My website (www.petluxuryboutique.com) is up and running but I would like to switch to: http://www.picaflor-azul.com/free-de...erdeen_neutral. I have uploaded the included folder but beyond that I'm afraid that I might mess things up, like the defines pages, EZ pages, boxes, products, etc. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Silver

If you uploaded the new template files correctly, you should be able to go to Admin - Tools - Template Selection and select the new template from the dropdown and then go to Admin - Tools - Layout Boxes Controller and click on Reset.

That's it? Nothing will be harmed in the first template? Will all the products transfer over too?

Many thanks,

A template is ONLY the way the site looks. It's a visual theme. It doesn't affect the actual categories or products themselves.

OK, Thank you,

Hello again:

I don't like to differ with an expert, and I mean that in the most kind way, but my catagories and products came right with the new template. The only situation that I have now is my plug-ins. I'm supposed to be placing, for instance ckeditor into the re-named admin, which is already re-named and the includes folder already has the plug in. I'm sure there is something I'm missing but I don't know what it is.

Thanks again,

Silver

Your categories and products shouldn't be affected by a new template, which is what DrByte said.

I don't understand the part about CKEditor. That plugin is already installed ?

Sorry for the confusion. I meant to say image handler4 and easy populate. How do I get them to work with the new template? When I click on a product, all of the thumnails are gone? ie: http://www.petluxuryboutique.com/ind...ducts_id=33990

Thank you,

Silver

Your images should still be in your images folder.

Good luck,
