After uploading, log in to your Administration panel. In the navigation pane, click the Add link underneath Styles Admin. With any luck, you ll see one or more styles (depending on how many styles the template author bundled with the template file) available to be installed. In Figure 12-1, I m given the option to install Athena and Athena Orange, two themes based on the Athena template, available from phpBBStyles.com. Figure 12-1. The theme installation page Note If the style does not show up as an available theme, make sure the folder name and the .cfg file match each other properly. Case and spacing matter. Additionally, recheck the theme_info.cfg file and ensure the theme name is set to the name of the folder as well, and the path is pointing to the proper folder name. To install a theme, click the Install link next to your desired theme s listing in the table. Installing a theme adds the information in its configuration file to the database, making it available to you and your users. Using Your Themes Congratulations! You ve successfully installed a theme or two. Now that you ve done that, you can make them available to your users, and perhaps even set one of these new themes as the default for your site.
