Refreshing the storefront

In order to avoid or solve problems, you should refresh the storefront after each change to the storefront or a theme update.

The refresh of the storefront mainly consists of three components:

1. Compiling the theme

2. Clearing the Shopware cache

3. Clearing the browser cache

Tip: In order to avoid or solve problems, you should refresh the storefront after each change to the storefront or after a Shopware/ThemeWare® update.

Refreshing the storefront

1. Open the administration of your shop

2. Compiling the theme:

   1. Switch to the "Theme Management" via the main navigation ("Content" => "Themes")

      • Note: In the Shopware Cloud, you will find the section "Themes" directly in the main navigation.

   2. Open the theme configuration of your ThemeWare® theme

   3. Save the configuration once unchanged

   4. The Theme is now being compiled and transferred to the storefront...

3. Clearing the Shopware cache:

   1. Navigate via the main navigation to the section "Cache & Indexes" ("Settings" => "System")

   2. Click "Clear caches "

   3. The Shopware cache is now being cleared...

4. Reloading the website and the browser cache:

   • After that, reload the page on which the problem occurred in your web browser with a cache refresh:

     • Windows: Ctrl + F5

     • Mac: Command (⌘) + Shift (⇧) + R or Command (⌘) + Option/Alt (⌥) + R

The storefront has been refreshed now.
