Step-by-Step Guide to Installing Odoo Website Themes
As an Odoo consultant, guiding clients through a step-by-step guide to installing Odoo website themes, I emphasize the importance of precision and environment readiness. Begin by downloading a theme compatible with your Odoo version and uploading it—via FTP or FileZilla—into your server’s addons folder (e.g., /opt/odoo/odoo15-custom-addons/).
Next, ensure file ownership is set appropriately (e.g., sudo chown -R odoo:odoo <theme-folder>) and activate Developer Mode from Settings or by appending ?debug=assets to the URL.
Then, navigate to Apps, click “Update Apps List,” remove filters, and locate your theme. Finally, click "Install," head to the Website app, choose “Switch Theme,” and apply your new design. This method ensures a stable, fully functional theme deployment without code conflicts.
