What people are saying...

"I recently purchased your package of virtuemart themes, and I am very impressed. It really has completely transformed the look of my shop, and it''''s very easy to install! At first I was only going to purchase one theme, but once I had downloaded the full package I knew I definitely got great value for money. I ended up not even using the theme I was originally going to buy! Thanks a bunch guys :P"

Virtuemart Installation Instructions

Things you need before you install:

  • FTP access to your server
  • Joomla! 1.x installed
  • Virtuemart 1.1.x component installed

INSTALL VIRTUEMART THEMES ON YOUR SERVER

  1. Connect to your FTP server and navigate to the directory \components\com_virtuemart\themes\
  2. Upload your theme directory. The result should be a directory in \components\com_virtuemart\themes\pbv-multi, pbv-bigmart ,pbv-powered, etc

Make sure that you have set the proper file permission to the themes directory otherwise your server won't be able to properly read the files. To check your directory or file permissions in FileZilla client simply right click on the "themes" folder and click on "File Permissions". Make sure that it is set to 755 (essentially everything checked except for two "write" checkboxes) and that the file permissions will apply to the recursive directories and files.
