Important

These instructions are generated automatically. They are different for CS-Cart and Multi-Vendor, and they depend on the path to your store’s directory on your server.

If you disable or uninstall the Watermarks add-on, revert the changes you made in Step 4—otherwise category and product images will be unavailable.
