Cassiopeia installed. How to install new template.

Asked by Jamie 6 months ago Last activity 6 months ago

The host has set up a Joomla site on the server with the Cassiopeia template. We want a different template, Yoga. We understand the quickstart needs to go on a clean server. So, how are we to change to the new template?

Bruce, on youtube you can also find basic video guides about how to use Helix Ultimate template. Watch it.

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out.

You are correct that the Quickstart package of the Yoga Joomla Template is intended for a fresh installation of Joomla. A Quickstart includes Joomla itself plus demo content, so it cannot be installed on an already running site.

However, you can still use the Yoga template on your existing Joomla site by installing only the template package, not the Quickstart.

Option 1: Install the Template Only

Download the Template Package (not the Quickstart). Go to Joomla Administrator. Navigate to: System → Install → Extensions, Upload and install the template ZIP file. After installation, go to: System → Site Templates. Set Yoga as the Default template. You can now configure the template settings and build your pages.

Option 2: Install Quickstart on a Separate Installation

If you want the demo layout and content that comes with the template:

Install the Quickstart on a separate clean directory or subdomain or on your localhost, for example:

yourdomain.com/yoga-demo

After installing it, you can copy or recreate the layouts and content on your main Joomla site with the help of the import/export feature from SPPB.

Best regards,
