Template installation

Post by willper »

I am installing the Weather Sunset template. In your template installation instructions you state, "Now that you have prepared and configured your template, it's time to send it to your web-site. If you already have a weather template, like the Cumulus standard, you need to wipe it from your website to avoid a mix between that one and your new Weather Sunset template."

I am not sure what files need to be wiped out. Could you please offer some help here.

In fact, it is better to wipe out ALL you have there. Anything you already have there and that you may have in your new template, you may add later.

Could you be more specific. Do you need to delete all of the /web/ directory files and replace them?

Here is the text taken from Weather Sunset Installation instruction:
Template installation
Now that you have prepared and configured your template, it's time to send it to your web-site. If you already have a weather template, like the Cumulus standard, you need to wipe it from your website to avoid a mix between that one and your new Weather Sunset template. To install your template, you simply need to take all Weather Sunset files and folders and send them to your web site, using your prefered ftp software. .
So the answer to your question is YES you should delete ALL files and folders you already have IN YOUR SERVER (not in your computer) and than you have to copy there ALL files and folders that you have downloaded from Weather by You web page.

Is it possible to upload to another directory so you can have the Cumulus website at one address, and the Weather by You at another?
