you just need to copy single template files (which will be modified from you) into a new subdirectory see details here: > **[Understanding theme management in OXID eShop from 4.5.0](https://oxidforge.org/en/understanding-theme-management-in-oxid-eshop-from-4-5-0.html)** > > From OXID eShop 4.5.0 theme handling will be moved from config.inc.php to back-end (Master Settings -\> Themes) showing list of all available templates, their descriptions, thumbnails and theme specific settings and also theme switching in back-end ---

no need to clone anything, just copy the original template file you want to change into a new folder and modify them there only thing to do is creating a theme.php with according meta data: > **[Understanding theme management in OXID eShop from 4.5.0](https://oxidforge.org/en/understanding-theme-management-in-oxid-eshop-from-4-5-0.html)** > > From OXID eShop 4.5.0 theme handling will be moved from config.inc.php to back-end (Master Settings -\> Themes) showing list of all available templates, their descriptions, thumbnails and theme specific settings and also theme switching in back-end ---

you do not need to clone it, the config options can be set within the “parent”-Theme options As this script was made for a previous shop version, it may lead to mentioned mistakes with current 4.7 version. ---

@ray: i think he wants to clone it, that’s the point @nisarg: You could try this minimal SQL: [http://forum.oxid-esales.com/showthread.php?t=9393&page=5](http://forum.oxid-esales.com/showthread.php?t=9393&page=5) I have not tried but it may work with 4.7 ---

if you need individual configs, here is the manual for them to do it “by hand”: > **[Understanding theme management in OXID eShop from 4.5.0](https://oxidforge.org/en/understanding-theme-management-in-oxid-eshop-from-4-5-0.html)** > > From OXID eShop 4.5.0 theme handling will be moved from config.inc.php to back-end (Master Settings -\> Themes) showing list of all available templates, their descriptions, thumbnails and theme specific settings and also theme switching in back-end ---
