Topic : Install Forum Theme


Posted By: ElleW on March 16, 2016, 1:36 pm
Im newer to Softaculous so I cant figure this out... Im pretty savvy with this stuff but...

I want to install my own forum theme. All thats available in the 'Forums' installs are not for me.. You cant customize anything without knowing CSS...

Can you do this or are we stuck using whats there?

Hi,

Do you already have a Forum installed ? If yes which Forum script are you using ?

Also you want to install a theme for your Forum correct ?

Hi,

You will first need to install phpBB to your hosting account.

You can refer to the following guide on how to install a script via Softaculous :
http://www.softaculous.com/docs/Install_a_Script

The above guide is for WordPress similarly you can install phpBB.

Once you have installed phpBB you can refer to the following guide on how to install a theme in phpBB :

Thank you. :) I didn't realize you had to instal a theme/extensions FTP...

Now that I got it to work it still sucks! LOL. I cannot believe you cant customize anything with these forums/styles outside full on CSS changes. Keep adding extensions like a simple page..

I guess Im going to Wordpress.. I like traditional forum set ups but its just not working out..

Im just whining and frustrated, this board is adult natured and So many wont allow it and ones ok with it stink.

Thanks again.
