@picaflor-azul

I just installed sheffield-blue in my test site and got blank page.
I followed instructions but they are for winchester.
I will restore from backup and try again with new instructions.
I like the blue template, please help.

I just loaded sheffield blue in my local test site and got blank page.I could still access the admin section so I reverted to responsive-classic, I thought I needed to restore from backup but that is not the case, well maybe I will nonetheless.
The blue is what I need for this site, please help.

Has anyone try to use this template on the 1.5.8 version since Anne hasn't been updating it lately?

Depending on your expertise, you could look at the differences in stylesheets between the 9-year old template and the latest for 2.0.

Trying to use an old template means time spent bringing it up to date in CSS, HTML, PHP, and accessibillity. Then, you still have to work with the css for your particular preferences. The current 2.0 responsive_classsic is there for you.

To move even closer to current standards, the best case scenario is to clone the bootstrap and "make it yours".

Well, her template isn't compatible to 1.5.8 got a blank screen then switch to back to classic responsive and remove the files back to the orginal way. Now main site pulls up then when I click on an product blank screen. I did a backup before I did this.

Sorry if I indicated the template was anywhere compatible. What I suggested was that you could look at the main portions of the CSS for each and see if you could make the new look like the old.

The PHP, HTML, and language files of the old template will create many problems if loaded

Thanks anyway, what I did is I deleted the whole zen cart from the server and re-upload the backup zen cart that I did and back up where it needs to be. I will keep the layout what I have for now til I have the time to look into the other templates and see what I can do.

FYI

In this situation, it would be less invasive to just go to Tools >> Templates and select a different(the original?) template.

Adding lat9's Clone a Template could also have removed the old template whenever you weren't busy with other projects.

Just another thing you learn from many "oops".
