One click theme installation

[himanshu_bhatnagar]

Hi,

I have recently purchased a theme from theme forest which was suppose to be 'one click installation'.

I searched the internet but couldn't find a updated video which can explain how these 1 click installtion happen on magento 2.2.4.

Can someone please explain?

Also, the results I found, wanted me to upload app and pub in root directory which I did. And then run below commands:

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

But doing this also doesn't make the theme available in magento backend under  Content -> Design -> Configuration.

Please help.

Thanks in advance.

Its not there too. There are only default themes. 

Contacted server customer care too and they had no idea.

The envacto team (from where I bought the theme) also doesn't support theme installation.

Hi @himanshu_bhatnagar

So what's your final directory structure right now in app directory ? seems like you missed out something there only !

It should be like app/code then your theme VendorName and its themeName directory and inside that there couple of modules.

Same way for design - in app/design directory your theme VendorName and inside it ThemeName directory and inside that theme files will be there !

check this structure and confirm for the same , share the screenshot so its help us to troubleshoot the issue ~!

Hope it helps

I do not know where the theme was installed or if it was installed properly or not at first place. I can only tell you about the process I followed:

1. upload app folder to server's app folder (the one under public_html).  

The code folder under app folder is from the theme itself.

2. I uploaded pub folder under server's pub folder (also under public_html).  

The pub folder from theme had a media folder and under media we had bg_newsletter, mgs, mpanel, promobanners, wysiwyg. 

After uploading these 2 folders I ran below commands from public_html folder:

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

Now, I'm not sure why the did not updated in backend.

Should I create a new folder in public_html and restart the process ?

Thanks for the help. Much appreciated.

Hi @himanshu_bhatnagar

Actually with your theme package - you have also got files which needs to put in app/design directory.

Same like you have puted in app/code directory MGS  , you also required files which needs to put under app/design/frontend/MGS

Right now its blank so make sure you upload files in  app/design/frontend/MGS

Then run all the command which you have mention above and then check !

It will works

I uploaded the design folder too. And repeated the steps and now I could finally see the theme in Content >> Themes.

But after changing the theme configuration (Content >> configuration) my website is not working.

Earlier I had luma theme perfectly working.

Kindly set root permission to your magento instance using below command,

sudo find var pub/static pub/media -type f -exec chmod g+w {} \; 
sudo find var pub/static pub/media -type d -exec chmod g+ws {} \;
sudo find ./pub/media -type d -exec chmod 777 {} \;
sudo find ./pub/static -type d -exec chmod 777 {} \;

Now run below command,

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

If still not working please chec your var/log/system.log file any error will display or not, Also check in var/report folder with specific error record id file?

Hi @himanshu_bhatnagar

Glad to know that you have finally seen your theme at backend !

Right now you are in a production mode so you won't able to see error instead of you will see error log number - 1465665567787

So open your var/log directory , find this file name - 1465665567787

open it and check its log from there - post that file error log over here so its help us to troubleshoot the issue !

Also make sure your pub/static and media and var directory have writable permission 

then run command - 

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

Then check it will works
