This topic has been marked as resolved.
Hello, I’m a self taught person regarding coding but i don’t know much about it. I’m a bit reluctant to an update. Could you check my website: http://www.beleza21.com and tell me if everything’s ok with updating it ? Also, i don’t know if this is doable: How can one sort the products in the backend by date added ? Thanks, great theme! JF |

Hi, 1) Hope, you have made a list with the files and the changes, so you could easily transfer them in the new version Generally, we don’t see any problems to update. Remember that the best practice is to always keep a backup copy of your current website (files and database). 2) Unfortunately, sorting products in the backend is not Shoppica related and we can’t be of much help here. We would suggest that you seek for help in the official Opencart forums. 3) Unfortunately, there is no way to automatically insert SEO urls with the default OpenCart functionality only. There is an extension however, can help you – http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route=extension/extension/info&extension_id=2430 Best, |

Hi, Unfortunately, i didn’t keep track on the files i changed, but it was mainly language changes. If i download my site and upload it to a test site will it work or will i have database problems ? Decisions decisions… |

I am currently going through my site page by page and then through the actual files I can see I have changed and added everything to a document I’ve just called website log, I should have created it at first but it slipped my mind. I too have changed several things and in certain cases renamed the original file with old at the end so I always had the file to revert to if anything went wrong with the changes, stupidly never did it with changes in the language files so hence the extra work. There is an application called Winmerge if you use a PC or TextWrangler, which I use on my Mac that allows you to compare files, this I have found to be really useful in checking difference in files so you know what exactly is changed. I hope this has helped a little, because like you I am a code as you go kind of person. All the best. |

This is what i do, simple and fool proof.. download the latest version of shoppica also to your desktop choose the folders like in the screencast above, all your differences will show up in red, just double click on the file and press the arrow to copy your changes to your new themes folder hope this helps |

@evilfx There is no problem to duplicate your website on a testing server. You just need to keep the correct paths in:
Generally, there is no difference between the Shoppica language file ( Note however, that we haven’t modified the default OpenCart language files, so you will need to use some compare software as Klimskady and werepair have suggested. @Klimskady Thanks for the tips, guys! Best, |

The error is harmless. It is generated by searching bots that do not identify themselves as valid browsers. We have added an additional check to prevent the error from appearing in the log. As this is non-significant minor bug, we are not going to update the official Shoppica release but we’ll provide the fix with a future release. You can replace |
