If your existing template did not successfully come in with the import from iwzip, the components of your old template are in the style directory on your website or in the source directory in your V12 project directory on your PC. Once you have these graphics you can use them in step 2, template, template structure, this should make it easy to replace the menu and page backgrounds.
You should be able to place an image "box" in the header and select you image.
If this is your first website upgrade to V13, you should also be aware that text in the header and footer sections will automatically be turned into images. The simplest way to fix this is place a text box over the text image, recreate the text then remove the text image. This is because V13 uses "new techniques" to maintain real text in header and footer (therefore searchable), in V12 and earlier all text in headers and footers was simply an image.
Good luck - if things don't work out as you hope, let us know?

Thanks for the quick answer.
The template I use was created in v9 or v10, based on the standard template Sport 44:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Template xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<Menu>VERTICAL</Menu>
<ID>im3pnuh39iyad1zow76125ba9wp39s0mn5</ID>
<Name>Sport 44</Name>
<Category>30.Sport</Category>
<BodyBackgroundColor>
<A>0</A>
<R>255</R>
<G>255</G>
<B>255</B>
</BodyBackgroundColor>
and customized. I do still have all graphic files in a backup directory.
It worked fine in all versions: 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 till yesterday when I updated from v13.1.0.5 to 13.1.1.9.
That means it was not my first upgrade to v13.
Meanwhile I restored v13.1.0.5 and my template is ok. I do see the style directory in the preview directory of my project. It includes the template graphics. I can edit the header and footer in the template customization menu ...
Why is the update to v13.1.1.9 changing my template? (v13.1.0.5 was ok)
Do I really need to start designing a new template in v 13.1.0.5 from scratch and then to the update?

I understand now a little bit more what happened, the problem is not related to v.13.1.1.9..
My "old" template works ok in v13 as long as I do not enter the template customization menu and open the template structore menu. Both versions do then realize there is no link to the graphics files in use.
I will try the next days to design the template in v13.
Thanks for your help.
Great! Enjoy . . . .
