Reinstalling ThemeWare®

In rare cases, issues arise because files from Extensions (Plugins, Apps or Themes) have not been completely transferred to the Storefront. In the case of ThemeWare® this can be solved with a "Soft Reset" (see Performing a ThemeWare® Soft Reset).

If this is not sufficient (e.g. in the case of incorrect file permissions due to manual editing of source files), the only thing that can be done is to reinstall ThemeWare®:
