- \r\n
- To fix the wrong layout of the pages, download a zip<\/a> file by clicking the link.<\/li>\r\n
- Unzip the file. Move the ‘html’<\/strong> folder to the \/templates\/theme###\/<\/strong> directory on FTP. There you will find a folder with the same name, so when moving you will be asked to replace the folder. Just agree to the replacement since that will just replace certain files in the folder (you might also want to create a backup copy of the template ‘html’ <\/strong> folder prior to this).<\/li>\r\n
- Once the files are replaced, check the page where you had the problem: it should no longer occur.\r\n
