⚠️ Clear Cache After Installation

After installing the extension, always clear the TYPO3 and PHP caches. This ensures that the extension configuration, Content Blocks, TypoScript, and frontend assets are loaded correctly.

⚠️ Fresh TYPO3 Installation Recommended

The VILLA theme is designed primarily for a new or fresh TYPO3 installation. If an existing site package, theme, page tree, TypoScript configuration, or custom Content Blocks are already present, the extension may not work as expected without additional configuration.
