Since Datalife Engine 9.7 was released, even this new version has a lot of improvements but on template upgrade process is quite simple and easy to upgrade your theme from 9.6 to 9.7, only a few files are required to modify, in this tutorial we will show you how to upgrade the theme from DLE 9.6 to 9.7
1) Add image dleimages/noavatar.png
Copy the image file from your default template /templates/Default/dleimages/noavatar.png folder of your template. or /templates/YOUR-THEME/images/noavatar.png (This image is using the same file as your default "noavatar.png", so you can copy your old image from /images/ folder to /dleimages/ folder)
2) Open the style/engine.css and add to the bottom
Open the style/engine.css and add to the bottom: (The theme structure maybe different, so what you need is open your engine.css or your default css style file)
