Get the Luna Update

If you installed Luna in your shop before January 24, 2019, you’re using an older version of the theme that doesn’t have all of the new features and improved mobile version. Read more on what's changed in our blog post here.

To update, you'll be re-applying the Luna default theme, so it's important to back up any custom changes you want to keep and add back in later. Once you hit save you can't get the old version back, so be sure you're ready!

If you just want to start fresh with default settings, head to the Design > Themes section, choose Luna, then hit Done, and then Publish. Otherwise, follow these steps:

  1. Head to the Design section in your admin.

  2. Save your header, slideshow and background image files if you don't already have them on your computer (right-click or Ctrl+click > Save Image).

  3. If you love your current color scheme, jot down the hex values (color codes) for each element.

  4. Make a note of any font selections you’d like to keep.

  5. If you've customized your theme's HTML or CSS code, you'll want to be sure to back up your current theme.

  6. Now you're ready for the update! Click Themes in the top left corner and choose Luna.

  7. Go back to the Settings tab to add your images back, update your fonts and color scheme, paste any of your custom code back in, and tweak any new settings. Hit Done, then Publish when you're finished.

Steps

  1. Log in at my.bigcartel.com.

  2. Go to Design.

  3. Click the Themes tab in the top left corner.

  4. Click Luna.

  5. Click Done, then Publish to apply the changes or Exit to leave without saving.
