Title: Trouble cloning novator template
Post by: timlight10 on August 19, 2026, 09:44:55 AM
I am tying to follow the instructions here: https://abantecart.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/AD/pages/11993115/Clone+Default+theme

But my default theme does not have the clone button available. What could I be doing wrong?

Hello.
First, you need to install the Developer Tools extension.

Already installed...note that the other two templates have the clone button.

Hello.
Have you installed and enabled the dev tools extension?

The clone button is only available when the default theme is eligible for cloning and the correct theme management page is being used. Make sure you're logged in with an administrator account and check Design → Themes (or the equivalent theme management section) rather than the storefront/theme editor.

Also, the instructions may be for a specific AbanteCart version, so the UI can differ between versions. If the Clone button is completely missing, check your AbanteCart version and whether the default theme is installed/enabled.

If you share your AbanteCart version and a screenshot of the Themes page, someone should be able to pinpoint what's different.
