This tutorial shows how to manually install static blocks in Magento store.

The easiest way to configure all static blocks is to install the Magento template sample data. You can see how to do this checking the detailed video tutorials How to install Magento 1.6 template and theme sample data and how to import sample data SQL file

In case you are installing the template over the live store or you just don’t want to install template sample data you need to configure the static blocks manually.

 

1. Open the template package and go to the ‘sources/demo/staic_blocks‘ directory. There you should see the .html and .xml files.
2. Open Magento admin panel and go to ‘CMS > Static Blocks‘.
