Add-on install

[Needleguy]

I'm sorry I am still confused. The add-on "Guest" has files that goes into the "Shop" folder. I do not use "shop" in my URL. So should these files be placed elsewhere or leave them in the "Shop" folder? Thanks.

Which add-on Guest? The one that comes with pro does not have a shop folder. If you are asking about one in the add-ons area, it would be better to ask in the add-on specific forum (for free add-ons) or by the add-on maker's preferred form of contact (for paid add-ons).

Example add-on specific forum: app.php/addons/free_addon/purchase_with ... nt/support

All that I can really say is that usually there are directions, perhaps as a PDF, .md, or text file. Those should be more reliable than any speculation on our part. I would guess that the shop folder would be the root folder of your cart, but the directions presumably know for sure.

Ok so obviously I messed up with the install. Is it possible to do a new install and then add the existing database or should I start over fresh?

I believe the "Guest" add-on is a separate add-on in the Pro update I received.

The only shop directory that I see in the guest add-on that comes with pro is the one inside templates/override/includes/hooks/

To reinstall without losing the database:

1. Back up your existing files and database.
2. Delete everything from your site after you verify that you've backed up all the files.
3. Upload the catalog files and directories into the root of your shop.
4. Rename your admin directory to the same as previous.
5. Upload any add-on files that you need.
6. Copy the includes/configure.php and admin/includes/configure.php (may be in a slightly different location if you renamed your admin directory) files from your backup.

That should leave you with fresh files and the same database.
