1. Identify Where Banner is Used


  • Home page, category page, CMS page, or custom block.



2. For Banners Added as CMS Blocks or Static Blocks


  • Go to Admin Panel > Content > Elements > Blocks.

  • Search for the block used for the banner (common names: ‘Home Banner’, ‘Main Banner’, etc.).

  • Click Edit.

  • Replace the image or update the content (use image upload or HTML).

  • Click Save.


3. For Banners in Widgets

  • Go to Content > Elements > Widgets.

  • Search for the widget displaying the banner (often ‘Banner Slider’ or similar).

  • Click Edit.

  • Under Widget Options, upload new images or update slider settings.

  • Click Save and Clear Cache.


4. For Theme-Specific Banners (Direct in Code)


  • Go to app/design/frontend/{Vendor}/{theme}/web/images/ or similar folder.

  • Replace banner image file via FTP/SSH with a new image (same name, or update reference in template files).

  • Clear static cache using System > Cache Management.



5. For Banner Extensions/Modules


  • Go to Marketing > Banners or extension menu (depends on module).

  • Edit banner, upload new image, update link or settings.

  • Save and refresh cache.


6. Flush Magento Cache


  • After any change, go to System > Cache Management.

  • Click Flush Magento Cache and Flush Static Files Cache.


7. Check the Frontend


  • Reload the affected page in browser (hard refresh to clear local cache).




  • Always check if banners are managed via a third-party extension.

  • For multi-store setups, select the correct store view before editing.

  • Banner changes might take time to reflect due to cache or CDN.

  • Banner sizes should match original dimensions for best display.



Troubleshooting:


  • If banners don’t update, clear browser cache and Magento cache.

  • Check file permissions if uploading directly via FTP/SSH.

  • Review theme documentation if banners are hardcoded.
