I have a local & remote Magento instances that are branches on the same repo. I exported the remote MYSQL database (which has all the products and settings I need) and imported it into the local instance. After that, I followed all the necessary things to make it operate properly. Everything is working, but somehow the local instance isn't finding my theme, and it is falling back to the "base" default theme appears on the home page.
Since the file structure and databases are the same, and everything but the theme is working, I'm having trouble working out why the theme would appear on the remote instance and not on the local instance.
Here is a list of things I did to make the local instance work after importing to make it work (This should help rule out some factors):
- Changed the base url
- Deleted
/var/cache/&/var/session/ - In System > Configuration > General > Design, set Current Package name to "mytheme" & Templates to "default" (for Default Config. This follows the file structure. Same structure works on remote instance.)
Some other thing to take into consideration:
- The is that the remote server has two stores, one at
store.site.comand another atthemedev.store.site.com. Due to the issues, on the local instance, I deleted thethemedevstore and have the default store pointing tohttp://themedev:8888/, which I set up using Mamp Pro. In System > Configuration > General > Web for the Base URL. (I tried changing the scope to Main Website & and Default Store View, but it had no effect.) - System > Configuration > Developer > CSS Settings > Merge CSS Files is set to "No" (JavaScript Settings also).
- System > Design is empty.
So, I feel like I've exhausted the possibilities of what could be causing the issue.
Any idea what might be causing this?
Thanks.
