How to install a theme

When you download a theme from Nop-Templates it comes in a zip package file i.e NopThemeName.zip.
The package should contain three folders coresponding to the three latest versions of nopCommerce i.e 3.4 , 3.3, 3.2 folders.
You need to open the folder corresponding to the version of nopCommerce that you use i.e 3.4.
When you open the folder for your version of nopCommerce you will find another zip package with the name of the theme and the exact product version i.e NopThemeName_X.XX.YYY.ZZZZZ.zip.

Product version - NopThemeName_X.XX.YYY.ZZZZZ.zip i.e NopThemeName_3.4.100.13000.zip

  • X.X - corresponds to the nopCommerce version i.e 3.4 means nopCommerce version 3.4.
  • YYY - corresponds to the Build number i.e 100 means internal build number 100.
  • ZZZZZZ - corresponds to the revisions i.e 13000 means revision 13000.

You need to extract the NopThemeName_X.XX.YYY.ZZZZZ.zip file.
You will see two folders -  Plugins and Themes.

Copy the content of the Themes folder into the Themes folder of your nopCommerce installation. This folder contains the actual theme files like images, fonts, css, javascript and razor files.

Copy the content of the Plugins folder into the Plugins folder of your nopCommerce installation. This folder contains all the TRIAL plugins from the Ultimate Plugin Collection.

 Now login in your web site and go in the Administration to install all the plugins that come with the theme and the theme plugin.
