How do i install a theme ?
omocha
New
Hi !
I'm new to all this, my first venture into open source and basically doing everything myself.
I've just downloaded a Vanilla 2 Theme, now i do not know how to go about installing it..
I have uploaded the files to the themes folder, but i don't see anything in the dashboard.
I have unzipped it, i have even gone as far as editing the config.php line: $Configuration['Garden']['Theme']
to my theme name, still no show...
Any help for a newbie please (:
Much appreciated

Which version of Vanilla are you using?
Which theme did you download?
Unzip the files before moving them to the themes folder.
There should be a single folder with the theme name, containing a file called about.php, and at least a folder called design, which will have a custom.css file.
check the file permissions.
if it is in the themes folder and it is a theme, and the permission allow it to be seen by the application then it will show in /dashboard/settings/themes
grep is your friend.
and make sure you have a folder in the cache called Smarty and one inside that called compile. If those are not there, then create them.

okay thanks !
Im using the latest download of vanilla.
Im using the PRESS theme. I just downloaded another file and they are different sizes by a few kb, so i think it might have been corrupted during download. Works fine now, thanks guys.
