Updating the storefront (SW6 Cloud)
Most issues in the storefront result from an outdated cache. An incorrectly compiled theme can also lead to appearance issues.
Therefore, in case of issues or appearance issues, please always refresh the Shopware storefront first. This can be done quickly and easily with just a few clicks:
Updating the storefront
- Compile the theme:
- Switch via the main navigation to the "Theme Management" ("Content" => "Themes")
- Open the theme configuration of your ThemeWare® theme
- Save the configuration once unchanged
- The theme is now being compiled and transferred to the storefront
- Reload website and browser cache:
- Then reload the page on which the issue occurred in your web browser with a cache refresh:
- Windows: CTRL + F5
- Mac: Command + Shift + R
The storefront has now been refreshed.
Tip: To avoid or solve issues, you should refresh the storefront after any changes to the storefront or a theme update.
Does the issue continue to occur?
Fix already solved issues (SW6 Cloud)
To ensure that any issues have not already been resolved with an update, it makes sense to update Shopware, all Extensions (Apps or Plugins) and ThemeWare® itself to the latest version.
Update the entire shop
- Update all Extensions (Apps or Plugins) to the latest version:
- Navigate via the main navigation to the "Extension Management" ("Extensions" => "My Extensions")
- Check the tab "Apps" if there are any updates available
- Update all relevant apps
- Update ThemeWare® to the latest version:
- Check in the tab "Themes" if there is an update for ThemeWare®
- Check in the Changelog if there is an update for ThemeWare®
- Aktualisiere ThemeWare® gegebenenfalls
Does the issue continue to occur?
Fix update issues (SW6 Cloud)
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".
Performing a ThemeWare® Soft Reset:
- Assign the Shopware default theme:
- Navigate via the main navigation to your sales channel ("Sales Channels" => "..." => Tab "Theme")
- Please assign the Shopware default theme to the appropriate sales channel
- Deactivate (do not uninstall!) ThemeWare®:
- Switch via the main navigation to the "Extension Management" ("Extensions" => "My Extensions")
- Switch to the tab "Themes"
- Deactivate ThemeWare® via the switch button on the left of the ThemeWare® logo
- Activate ThemeWare®:
- Activate ThemeWare® via the switch button on the left of the ThemeWare® logo
- Assign ThemeWare® to your sales channel:

- Reload website and browser cache:
- Then reload the page on which the issue occurred in your web browser with a cache refresh:
- Windows: CTRL + F5
- Mac: Command + Shift + R
Note: The theme configuration is not changed or deleted during this process.
Does the issue continue to occur?
Isolate the issue (SW6 Cloud)
To check whether an issue could be related to ThemeWare® at all, it is sufficient to assign the Shopware default theme to your sales channel. Just follow the instructions below:
Check Shopware default theme
- Assign the Shopware default theme:
- Navigate via the main navigation to your sales channel ("Sales Channels" => "..." => Tab "Theme")
- Please assign the Shopware default theme to the appropriate sales channel
- Reload website and browser cache:
- Then reload the page on which the issue occurred in your web browser with a cache refresh:

- Mac: Command + Shift + R
Does the issue continue to occur?
If the issue continues to occur – even without ThemeWare® – 99.9% of the time it can be assumed that ThemeWare® is not the cause and that there is a fundamental problem in Shopware or with an extension. Click on the following button to find out how you can proceed to solve the problem:

In this step you check whether the issue is caused by a customisation. Please follow the steps below:
Check individual customisations
- Exclude theme duplicate (if used):
- Navigate via the main navigation to your sales channel ("Sales Channels" => "..." => Tab "Theme")
- Please assign the original ThemeWare® theme to the appropriate sales channel
- Exclude individual customisations (if used):
- Navigate via the main navigation to the Extension Managment ("Extensions" => "My Extensions" => Tab "Apps")
- Deactivate the ThemeWare® Customising Plugin (or similar extensions)
- Exclude individual code:
- Now switch to the "Theme Managment" ("Content" => "Themes") via the main navigation.
- Open the theme configuration of the original ThemeWare® theme
- Deactivate the "Expert mode" (Tab "More" => Section "Expert Settings")
- Save this change ("Save" button)
- The theme is now being compiled and transferred to the storefront
- Reload website and browser cache:
- Then reload the page on which the issue occurred in your web browser with a cache refresh:
- Windows: CTRL + F5
- Mac: Command + Shift + R
Does the issue no longer occur?
If the issue no longer occurs, ThemeWare® is not the source of the issue and there is an issue with your customisations. Click on the following button to find out how you can proceed to solve the problem:

Isolate the issue (SW6 Cloud)
In this last step, you check whether the issue is caused by an extension. Since it is impossible to predict if and which extension is causing the issue, it is important to disable all active extensions - even if you have a guess. Please follow the steps below:
Check extensions or plugins
- Deactivate extensions:
- Navigate via the main navigation to the Extension Managment ("Extensions" => "My Extensions" => Tab "Apps")
- Deactivate (do not uninstall!) all active extensions
- Reload website and browser cache:
- Then reload the page on which the issue occurred in your web browser with a cache refresh:
- Windows: CTRL + F5
- Mac: Command + Shift + R
Tip: If you want to find out which extension is causing the issue, activate one extension after the other and check the storefront once after each activated extension. If you are able to identify an extension as the source of the issue, simply contact the manufacturer and let them know what you have found out.
Does the issue no longer occur?
If the issue no longer occurs, ThemeWare® is not the source of the issue and there is an issue with an extension or plugin. Click on the following button to find out how you can proceed to solve the problem:

Check licence domain and support authorisation
You get free support and free updates for ThemeWare® for 12 months from the time of purchase. After expiry of the 12 months, you can extend the subscription via your Shopware account. Of course, you can also continue to use the extension to its full extent without extending the subscription.
The subscription is already included in an ongoing rental.
