SMF Themes

How to change SMF themes?

At the official website of SMF, there could be found a lot of Themes for your forum. Just visit the SMF Themes area and choose the one you like most.

Once you're logged in as an administrator, you'll just have to click on the "admin" button.

After that on the displayed page you'll see four sections at the left side of your screen named as follows:

• Forum Controls
• Forum Configuration
• Member Controls
• Maintenance Controls

You should look for the link named "Theme and Layout Settings" in the "Forum Configuration" section, click on it and you'll see the change/install themes page:

To install a new theme just click on the "Browse..." button to navigate to the theme you've already downloaded to your local computer and click install. Once it's installed you'll see a confirmation page.

Another option for installing the SMF theme is to extract the theme's .zip file on your local hard drive and to upload the files via FTP in the "templates" or "themes" folder of your SMF system.

To change the theme of your SMF, you'll just have to change the theme from the drop down menu in front of "Overall forum default:", then click on the "Save" button.
