Casual
Introduction
So you are about to install our responsive Magento theme Casual -- the professional Magento fashion theme for eCommerce Magento stores. The theme is packed up with 7 complementary Magento extensions including Megamenu, BaseTheme, Slideshow, Masshead, Product List, Category List and Tabs. Casual is fully responsive and supports Off-canvas menu for collapsed screen devices.
There are two ways to install a UberTheme Magento theme like Casual:
- General Installation: Applicable if you have installed a Magento base on your server before.
- Quickstart Installation: Applicable if you want to get a whole new site as per Demo.
Decide which way to follow. Once downloaded, unzip the package of Casual to get the following folders:

Let’s see how to install and configure the responsive Magento theme Casual for your own website.
General Installation
Provided that you have installed the Magento base already, General Installation will help you adapt Casual and its extensions with your current site.
Note: Your store must be ready before the installation. If not, get it done quickly by following the Magento Installation Guide.
1. Theme Installation
Extension basetheme is required to be installed before installing the other extensions and theme.
1. Copy the folders skin and app to the root of your Magento site folder on the server. The overwritten folders should have a directory layout like this:
{docroot} /magento/app/
index.php
js/
lib/
LICENSE.txt
media/
pear/
skin/
var/
2. Log in to your Admin Panel on the stage localhost: //localhost/magento/index.php/admin/.
3. Navigate to System >> Configuration >> Design.
4. Input the theme name into the Themes folder e.g. “jm_casual” instead of “jm_purity”.

6. Click the button “Save Config” to finish. Now Casual is ready!
2. Extension Installation

2. Login to your Admin Panel on the stage localhost: //localhost/magento/index.php/admin/.
3. Navigate to System >> Configuration.
4. To enable an actual extension, in the JoomlArt section, enter this one’s tab and set Enable to “Yes”.
3. Create Static Blocks

8. To clear cache if needed, navigate to System >> Cache Management >> Save cache settings.
Refresh your Homepage to see the change applied.
Quickstart Installation
Quickstart package is to minimize time and effort in installing the theme as per Demo site. Please kindly note that, with Quickstart, all your existing data will be overwritten. Thus, we recommend using Quickstart for your first installation or just in case you want to refresh your site to the very beginning.
1. Upload the folder quickstart to your server. In Quickstart folder you will see the extracted folder that includes all sample data.
2. Create a database for your Magento store (using phpMyAdmin).
3. To install, open a browser and navigate to your URL (where the Quickstart package uploaded) to load the default Magento installer.
4. Kindly follow each step of the Installer so that the installation process can be set.
Note:
- Do not use “localhost” in URL, otherwise you could not log into your Admin area (you should use your local IP in case of installing on your computer).
- Leave “Tables prefix” field blank.
