With the new google rules we want to change our theme to responsive to be mobile friendly. I can only see an option to activate the theme but then the front end is live with that theme.
Is there a way to edit and preview the theme without it activating the front end? It looks like I have to completely layout and style the theme from scratch? Is there an easy way to do this?
I suppose the real question is there anyway way to move to a responsive theme but keep the layout we have now?
What CS-Cart version do you use? We suggest you to make a copy of your store on the local server or sub directory and use this installation to test new things.
Please check this article:
Hi, Thanks for the response.
We are using 4.2.3
I was afraid you were going to say that. Thought there may be an easier way. If I wanted to activate the theme and then edit it I would have to close the store.
Otherwise it’s down to your suggestion
Can’t believe cs cart don’t allow customisation before activating live from the admin?!
May be you can set up second store-front and close it for public. Then activate new theme for the new store-front and test everything.

But please contact CS-Cart license department at first and check if it be legal action
