How to merge pub and app folder using cpanel

[himanshu_bhatnagar]

Hi,

As a part of 1st step to install my new downloaded theme, I'm suppose to copy app and pub folder to public_html folder. Since there are 2 such folders already present, i'm assuming that we have to merge these 2 folders.

Now using cpanel, how can we do this?

And just to confirm the second step, I would be running the below command from public_html folder:

php bin/magento setup:upgrade
php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f
php bin/magento cache:flush

Is that right?

And when do we have to create a separate database ?

Thanks in advance.

P.S : I'm on Magento 2.2.4.

You need to upload folder of pub and app into public_html folder using cPanel. If you dont know about uploading just ask your hosting provider they will guide you.

Just merge app and pub folder into public_html folder using cpanel.

Run all above command.
After completing above steps,
Go to admin panel,
Click on Content -> Design -> Configuration

Edit your store theme and set new theme from applied theme dropdown options

Did all that but I can't find my new theme under drop down from Content -> Design -> Configuration.

What could be the reason ?
