自定义Sub Magento主题不起作用

Question

Hi my theme just updated to a new file organization that uses sub custom themes so that I can update the theme without overwriting the files I changed myself.

I downloaded the new theme and set up the new file path, but the site still reads from

skin/frontend/default/shopper/css/styles.css

when it should read from

skin/frontend/shopper/default/css/styles.css

I set the current package name to “shopper” and set default (under Design/Themes) to custom. I know I want my custom files of the theme to go under shopper/custom , and then magento should check for files at shopper/default and finally check for files at base . For some reason its ignoring the shopper directory and still referencing from the old default directory. And saved everything. I also disabled and flushed all the caches.

The two images attached show how I have it set up in magento via the admin and the ftp. I haven't been able to solve this for months.

FIXED IT!

The issue was not in System > Configuration > Design but in fact System > Design I discovered that System > Design had it set up for Default/Shopper and there wasn't a time frame for it. The following link helped me reach my conclusion.

You are supposed to System > Design for temporary theme changes, but my site had it set with no time frame thus always overwriting my settings in System > Configuration > Design
