Theme and Template Changes
If you are using a custom version of any of the below template files, make the changes outlined for the custom version of that file inside your custom theme folder (Example: squirrelcart/themes/YOURTHEMENAME). If you are not using a custom version of that file you do not need to make any changes. This section is a guide only. If a v5.5.0 template file has a lot of changes, you are probably better off reverting to the default version by removing your custom version of the same file.
How to revert a template
If you have a custom version of a template listed below and do not wish to update it, you can revert it. Reverting a template causes the master version of that template to be used. To revert a template that is in your custom theme folder, rename or delete it. Template changes begin below:
store_content.tpl.php
Find this:
ship_notify_email_text.tpl.php
Find this (last line of the file):
ship_notify_email_html.tpl.php
Find this (last line of the file):
Templates you should revert

With the release of Squirrelcart version 4.0 in October of 2013, it became no longer necessary to modify style_main.css.php. We strongly discouraged modification of this file in all documentation released since that date.
The correct way to customize your CSS for Squirrelcart is by extending our built-in CSS using a file named style_custom.css.php which only contains the changes you wish to make. See this page for more info.
If you have a customized version of style_main.css.php:
