Advanced Categories Magepow Extensions

1 - Prepare your Magento

1. It is recommended to install the extension on a test server before you install it in a live store.
2. Backup Magento files and the store database. Important: Creating backup before installation of any extensions in Magento is extremely important,especially when are working on a live store.
3. Disable Compilation Mode in System >Tools > Compilation.
4. Disable:
   • Magento Cache (refer to II.1.2 Disable Cache For Details)
   • Full page cache and caching module for Magento (such as Speedster)
   • Any Additional cache on your server,PHP cache engines,APC,etc. 
     Important: When developing your Magento store, in order to be able to see changes immediately, you should completely disable the cache.You can enable it after you finish configuring your store.
   • Remove all possible custom modifications of the Magento “base” theme. "alomagicproduct"(same as any Magento theme) relieson “base” theme,so any modifications of the “base” theme can change the default behavior of alomagicproduct and break some functionality.You should never edit“base” theme's files.
   • Log out from Magento admin panel. Do not just close the browser window: you need to click Log Out link to refresh the access control system.
