Hi i have installed drupal commerce kickstart. Initially it contains Demo store with default theme. Next i installed new free theme for my store. It still contains old theme's contents images and slides.
The new theme's contents and other effects are not coming.
What did i Missed?
You first need to clear the demo contents from the existing commerce kickstart installation. You could use Commerce Reset module, if not already exist, to clean it.
Regarding your new theme, have you installed the supported content types and content to show within the new theme? If you are using a free theme, i must say, you should read the theme instruction to setup this. Most free themes doesn't provide the dummy content with it and you need to create supported content types, views, blocks and then do the necessary configurations to make it works.
If you need further help please provide the theme link you are using to build your site.

I'm new to wordpress, and I want to know if it is possible to put a theme bought on shapedtheme.com for example on an existing wordpress.
And if so, how to do it. I don't know where to put the code of the theme. I saw the wordpress page builder with text, but I see tags with [] and not <>.
I saw on this thread that pages can be linked to php files. I don't see how.
I have full access to the hosting service's filesystem and can see all wordpress files.
I would also like to transpose the theme header and footer and if possible, use the theme cards to adapt to blog articles written in wordpress.
How can I do this ?
I searched for tutorials on google or related threads on SO with no luck.
Any ressource would be appreciated.
Thanks to anyone who will take the time to read/answer this post.
No, you can't use a non-WordPress theme in a WordPress installation since WordPress will look for specific templates and pass certain objects to the template to be displayed.
You could adapt it to work with WordPress, though. Here's the theming guide to get you started.
But you'll probably be able to find a WordPress-ready theme with the features you want. This is the WordPress theme directory link for themes using bootstrap.
Unless you go for a from-scratch development of a pure php theme, and you need some level of theme customization I'd strongly suggest looking into child themes, as it'll allow you to update the base theme minimizing the changes you'd have to do to yours.
The [ ] syntax you mention are shortcodes, small, safe php functions that can be executed by inserting them in the editor, templates, etc, and provide kind of an api that exposes WordPress or plugins functionality.
And regarding your link, OP already has a WordPress theme, but is looking for a way of using a different, specialized template on specific pages. This template still has to follow to certain WordPress conventions.
I'm trying to figure out if I've been hacked. I made a custom WordPress theme, named 'claremont'. Somehow it got replaced with a downloaded theme, also named 'claremont'. Does WordPress ever automatically do this?
I'm not running any plugins that I'd suspect would do this - just Gravity Forms, The Events Calendar, BBPress and addon plugins for those. Any ideas?
If you create a custom theme and that theme has the same name as the theme available in WordPress.org themes repository (and 'claremont' exists there: https://wordpress.org/themes/claremont/), and if the WP.org theme has the higher version number, WordPress will include this theme for the update.
But, in a normal case, themes are not auto updated, so you have either run the update without checking what is updated, or your WordPress is set to auto update themes too.
It is always a good idea to check theme name in WP.org before using it or add some unique identifier in the theme name to avoid name conflict issues.
Im quite new to drupal, At the moment ive been trying to install a commerce theme but i dont get the correct appearance of it
the original theme
how it looks in my localhost
i have alreay installed drupal commerce, panels, ctoold, views etc... can sosmebody tell me what has gone wrong and how do i get the original look of the theme
There is a lot of things you need to do after installing the theme.
After installing new theme you should do the following:
Change default logo to your site logo.
Check what menu items are displayed and manage them in your structure>>menus
Add slider images by checking where to add the images (Read your theme readme.txt)
Add content so as to display in appropriate areas.
Add Products to your site.
Configure home page link.
Configure your categories / popular categories tags blocks.
Configure special offers block. May be you need to create a view with block display.
Place search block in appropriate region.
I am listing few and you can figure out rest if anything is not at its position.
Note: Generally the theme provides you basic regions, templates, css and icons structure, and you have to manage your site content so as to get the look and feel.
The template i want to convert is:
http://www.dragdropsite.com/demo/mpurpose-free-multipurpose-twitter-bootstrap-3-template/
it has multiple stylesheets and wordpress doesnt recognise the theme when places in wp-content/themes/ folder
What are the steps involved to convert it?
I wouldn't call it 'converting'. Wordpress themes are not just a simple html/css/js folder structure on the themes folder. Making a website work with wordpress is more involved than that. If you want to do it yourself you will need some experience with PHP. Wordpress's templating system is not very hard to learn but it won't happen on one sit.
I suggest you to take a look at this place so that a skilled person can do it for you

I am in the same opinion with alejandrocavazos. While, it is not easy to create a wordpress theme, converting an existing bootstrap theme will be very difficult too.
But i have an idea. Find a similar wordpress theme. Save it with another name. Page by page edit the theme and copy/paste your theme's content into this wordpress theme. If you make the changes directly on a web server, you can see the changes realtime. I think this is the easiest way to do it.
Good luck.
Yes you can do that, but its quite difficult to convert entire HTML theme into wordpress directly. You need some basic understanding of wordpress and how it works.
There are some good articles available, please go through them. You will surely understand it well and will be able to convert your HTML into wordpress.
I assume here, you are using Bootstrap framework to design your static websites.
1. How to Build a Responsive WordPress Theme with Bootstrap
2. How to convert a Bootstrap site template into a WordPress website
3. Creating a WordPress Theme From Static HTML
To Convert a Bootstrap 4 Template to a Wordpress Theme there is some work involved and there is no easier way to do in few clicks.
Start by using a starter theme such as Underscores.
-> Migrate your assets (js/css) from static template to the wordpress starter theme directory.
-> Start moving your page sections one by one (header, nav, page sections etc.)
-> To have more control from Wordpress dashboard, make use of plugins like Advanced Custom Fields, Custom Post Type UI and Contact Form 7.

I built a Wordpress child theme based on Thematic framework and edited some template files. When I upgraded to a new version of Thematic all changes to my template files were lost.
I guess it makes sense but that makes me a little disappointed in the child theme concept...
So if I understand correctly, there's no way to edit template files of Thematic (or any other WP theme framework?) and then upgrade easily and keep the changes? The way to modify a Thematic child theme is with styles and hooks, but changing template files is a no-no because all changes will be lost with upgrade?
By child theme, i'm assuming you just made some changes to that Thematic theme but for a specific blog, in which case, yes, your changes would of been over written on upgrade.
To avoid this, create a new theme folder on your sever and copy all the files over to that new theme. Once the files are copied, go into your stylesheet, and modify the comments in the header of the file. This is where you can rename your theme to say something like Thematic Theme Customized or you can rename it to whatever you want.
Once these two steps are complete, you should be good to make any modifications without fear of your data being erased on site upgrade.
Please note, that by going this route, WordPress doesn't know there's a new theme that it needs to upgrade, so if the Thematic theme has a system upgrade it needs to update, you'll need to copy that update over to your newly modified theme.
Hope this helps
Make sure you copy the childtheme out the thematic theme dir into the theme dir and edit the childtheme functions.php. Otherwise if you upgrade the theme changes will be lost.
