We have been working on major improvements, and we\u2019re delighted\u00a0to announce that we now have full customer login and management available in all stores. This update includes the following features\u2026<\/p>\n
Whilst the new features are awesome, this update does require that you update your theme to support the new customer functionality.<\/p>\n
We have added several new templates to our themes to provide the new customer functionality. The first themes to receive the updates are the Vintage<\/strong>, Minimal<\/strong>, Georgia<\/strong>, Antiqua<\/strong> and Fresh<\/strong> themes. New versions of these themes are now available in the Theme Gallery section of your store. You\u2019ll need to download a backup of your current theme before applying the new theme to your store.<\/p>\n Once you have updated your theme, it\u2019s likely that you\u2019ll need to update your settings in your theme editor. We have a guide below on what has changed in each theme so you can be better prepared for the update. If the version of your theme is quite old, you might find that there are also some nice surprises!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You can download a backup of your theme\u00a0in the Design & Assets -> Upload\/download theme<\/em> section. Clicking the Download your theme<\/em> button will download\u00a0a copy of your theme to your computer with all of it’s current settings.<\/p>\n Once you have downloaded a backup of your theme, go the the Design & Assets -> Theme Gallery<\/em> section, and click the\u00a0Update my templates to use this theme<\/em> button next to the theme you are currently using. \u00a0This will apply\u00a0the latest version of your theme to your store. \u00a0Once you have done this, you’ll need to update the settings in the\u00a0Design & Assets -> Theme editor ->\u00a0Theme Settings\u00a0<\/em><\/em><\/em>section.<\/em><\/p>\n If you do update your\u00a0theme, and find that you’re unable to get your store working in your new theme, please upload the backup of your theme to switch back to how your store was originally.
