I have an existing Magento store. I duplicated the stores database and uploaded a new copy of Magento. I then installed the Venedor theme but the site will not show the new theme.
I tested with a clean magento install with a blank database and the theme worked correctly. Since it's a brand new magento install something in the database is making the theme not work. I compared the admin settings for the working store with blank database to the non working store for hours and can't find the diffrence causing the problem.
I turned on Magento's template path which hints show:
frontend/base/default/template/page/3columns.phtml
frontend/base/default/template/page/html/head.phtml
etc.
they should should be:
frontend/venedor/default/template/page/2columns-right.phtml
frontend/venedor/default/template/page/html/head.phtml
etc.
What would I change to make Magento use frontend/venedor/ instead of frontend/base/?
Thank you for any help!
