Error installing new theme in opencart 2 - opencart

I am new to opencart and I am using opencart version 2.3.0.2 and working on xampp localhost.
I tried to install new theme (simplica free theme) by copying the theme files(catalog, system ) to my project folder which already have those 4 folders(admin,catalog,image,system). So it merges with those 2 folders.
When I go back to my backend extensions>extensions and select modules, I can't see any new module. Under extension>extension>themes, I can only see my default theme. also under system>setting>mystore, I can only see default store theme under theme option.
Did I do anything wrong? or what should I do to install a new theme?
Please help. Thanks in advance

I found the solution, hope this may help someone with similar problem.
I had to go to extensions>extensions then select themes then had click edit button of the default store theme. Under general> theme directory, I was able to select my theme.

Problem in upgrading OpenCart from version 3.0.3.2 to 3.0.3.6

Got modules disabled in Modification manager in opencart.
I have upgrade the my opencart website version from 3.0.3.2 to 3.0.3.6, after clicking the refresh button in Extension > Modification, my website stop working.
Version 3.0.3.2
After upgrading the version 3.0.3.6
How can I fix this problem?
It's possible, that your theme SO Marker uses good old VQMOD. In that case you should clear VQMOD cache first.
Go to vqmod/vqcache folder via FTP and delete all files in it.
Then go to vqmod folder and remove file mods.cache
After that you can update OCMOD/system/twig cache in admin panel.

How to install the OpenCart 2.3 extension?

I'm trying to install an extension of the Bling platform in my OpenCart application, I know they have forum, but the material is scarce. So I came here. I downloaded the package and followed the steps of the installation, extracted the files and placed in the folder indicated by the documentation.
So I went to OpenCart to install the extension, but I did not find the file there, do I need to update something? Do I need to change the structuring of folders? If anyone can help me, I'll be happy.
Any suggestion?
You can get more info here:
Module Development OpenCart
Log into your OpenCart Dashboard.
Go to Extensions > Product Feeds.
Click on “Install” next to the “Google Site Map” product feed name.
Click “Edit” and then change the status to “Enabled”
Copy the “Data Feed URL” and click “Save"

How to edit an existing theme with dugway

I have dugway installed, but I do not want to create a new theme but edit an existing theme. How would I go about doing this.
Thanks
David Wright
You can download any existing Big Cartel theme and use it locally with Dugway right here: https://github.com/bigcartel-themes
Just click the 'Clone to desktop' button on any of the repositories, or use the GitHub app / command line to clone them on your computer. From there you can make changes to the theme and edit it to your liking, just keep in mind that Dugway does have limitations (like being able to edit theme settings, modifying javascript, and more): https://github.com/bigcartel/dugway#known-issues--limitations

Open cart product page goes blank upon theme upload (vQmod on)

Here's the scenario:
Fresh install of Open Cart. Fresh install of vQmod. Everything is working fine. But when I upload certain theme - purchased and licensed - the site has an issue. The home page is working, but the product page goes blank.
I have tried all possible combinations of OpenCart and vQmod versions (except for 2.0 for OC because the theme doesn't support it yet). I am out of ideas.
Edit: After showing all errors as adviced I finally saw the reason : "oc_product_tab' doesn't exist"
I found a solution. It turned out that the "Extra Product Tabs Opencart Extension" is missing. This is a standart free plugin that comes with template theme but it wasn't configured. It turnes out that the theme works with it.
Go to system>users>user groups and select all for both access and modify. Save. Than go to Catalog menu and click on Extra product tabs. Click Insert and add the module. That’s it. It’s a standard opencart module which is free for use.

Cmsplugin-Nivoslider plugin for Django-CMS

I am new to Django-CMS, I have successfully installed Django-CMS on my Ubuntu 12.04 (64-bit OS). I want to add Nivo Slider on my web page using Cmsplugin-Nivoslider. After following steps mention in https://bitbucket.org/bercab/cmsplugin-nivoslider/overview, I am able to install cmsplugin-nivoslider on my Django-CMS. After syncdb, migrate and collectstatic commands, I am able to see nivo folder with js, theme and css files in my static folder, but I am not able to see anything on my Admin Panel related to Nivo Slider. Please tell me, do I need to do any further steps to use nivo-slider, How can I put that slider on my page ? Please guide me..
Thanks in Advance.
From the Admin interface, Add or edit a Page, you should have available a plugin for slider if the chosen template has a block &/or placeholder tag. Configure gallery from there.
