Hello everyone
I have an ecommerce www.inklife.it (drop shipping) with Open Cart version 1.5.1.3, made more than 5 years ago and it isn't mobile friendly. I was thinking to upgrade with a more recent version of open cart like 3.0.0.or any other (important that is mobile friendly), someone could seggest me?. I don't know which templates i've installed (probably the default version). I have a lot of products uploaded with csv and a specific ink/toner finder. Any suggestion for the upgrade? Wich version is better and stable? I could have some trouble with update? Thank you

Well, the Creator of those two responsive Themes linked also offers many more
Themes for free, and installing such a Theme would, BY FAR, be the easiest and
most secure way of making your Shop work, relatively nice looking, in all resolutions,
without the need of changing anything else, for the time beeing, at least ... 8)

Most everything else will require much more work! But this way, you could
still wait, until V.x will be usable, as it should, without investing much time
and/or money on anything.

All the Themes from YOOCART have the same little Misses, but it's real easy
to fix them. So, if you decide on one of them, just come back, and I tell you, what to
do, to i.E. make the images always keep their width/height 'Relation' in order. I still
have those modified CSS-Files laying around somewhere, I guess... ::)

You can easy upload all of those free responsive Themes from YooCart to your shop,
to try them out individually, just to mention this! They don't do no harm to existing Subs
and Files, and can be removed by just deleting the Theme Directory again.

I always used the Theme-Switcher Mod, to make the Themes Drop-Down Module
active and selectable on the Shop Front Section Main- and Category-Page Sub-Header
Position:
https://www.opencart.com/index.php?rout ... n_id=11320

I would copy the entire Shop Software into another Subdirectory, and MyPHP-Admin copy
the DB into another newly created empty DB, then, rewrite the both config.php Files
to match the new Link/Path and DB, and start testing on the new Test Site, until everything
works as planned. This way, you WILL NOT harm your existing Shop .
