This tutorial shows how to clear the Smarty cache in Prestashop. In case you’ve installed new theme or have changed the store language and don’t see any changes this is a workaround for you.
Clear Cache in Prestashop admin panel
- Open Prestashop admin panel and go to Preferences > Performance
- Set Force compile to Yes and save changes.
- Go to your front-office and refresh the store page.
Do not forget to set Force compile option back to No after you make changes to your shop.
Clear cache manually
For manual cache clear you need to access your Prestashop installation directory and delete all files from the tools > smarty > cache and tools > smarty > compile directories.
If you are using Smarty
- tools
- smarty
- compile
- cache
If you are using Smarty 2
- tools
- smarty_v2
- compile
- cache
That’s it! You should see the changes you made after cache is cleared.
