Otsikko: Help installing custom theme to a new forum
Kirjoitti: forum_user - toukokuu 22, 2011, 04:08:58 IP
I made a custom theme for one of my forums and I am having some problems getting it to display correctly on another forum (which I also own). What I did was to compress the theme's folder to zip file and upload it to my forum through the admin cp. The problem is that when I activate the theme I get a white page with the admin/forum links only. I also checked the location of the theme's folder in the theme settings (e.g: ''../Theme/mytheme'' and ''../Theme/mytheme/images'') and they are correct. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Check in 'Admin/Current Theme/Themes and Settings' if u have the correct url to the theme folders.

As mentioned above, I have already checked theme settings.

Yes, both forums are the same version (2.0 RC5).

can you provide a link to the forum that has the issue with the theme? the theme needs to be set as default so we can see what the issue may be.

Now I get a ''unable to load main_above template'' message. What does this mean?

some or more of the files needed for that theme can not be found, or are not in the right place to be found.
