I ftp’d the files as shown and made the changes in the admin panel. My site layout is completely off… looking at the header code it seems like either the website is partly using the default template or perhaps simply cannot find all the elements for the jm_purity template. My site url is http://digitalrecon.biz/
Looks like the site is only using the menu.css and print.css from the purity install… all else is default. Here is my header info:

Code:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://digitalrecon.biz/skin/frontend/default/default/css/reset.css" media="all" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://digitalrecon.biz/skin/frontend/default/default/css/boxes.css" media="all" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://digitalrecon.biz/skin/frontend/default/jm_purity/css/menu.css" media="all" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://digitalrecon.biz/skin/frontend/default/default/css/clears.css" media="all" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://digitalrecon.biz/skin/frontend/default/jm_purity/css/print.css" media="print" />

Dear curtise!

i do not know you upgrade how ?

pls compare html source between your site with our demo :

http://magento-themes.joomlart.com/jm_purity/index.php/

you can see many css files did not load, so that the template was broken

HTML Code:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://magento-themes.joomlart.com/jm_purity/skin/frontend/default/jm_purity/css/addons.css" media="all" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://magento-themes.joomlart.com/jm_purity/skin/frontend/default/jm_purity/css/layout.css" media="all" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://magento-themes.joomlart.com/jm_purity/skin/frontend/default/jm_purity/css/theme.css" media="all" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://magento-themes.joomlart.com/jm_purity/skin/frontend/default/jm_purity/css/menu.css" media="all" />

pls try again

I’ve installed the Magento core. Now when I attempt to "Install JM Skates template" using the "Template installation guide" the installation fails and the site fails to function properly.

Is the Skates theme designed around Magento 1.7.0.2? Also, is this installation guide designed around Magento 1.7.0.2?
