Installing a New Skin

This screen displays a gallery of skins that are available for installation. The gallery of skins can be filtered based on skin type and collection kind.

How to Access this Screen

This screen can be accessed by clicking on the Install New button/link found in the following locations:

  • Choosing a skin for a collection
    Installing a New Skin
    Installing new skins for a Collection
  • Managing the installed skins
    Installing a New Skin

How to Install a New Skin

To install a new skin for use on your system, you can follow these steps:

  • Download skins from the Skin Directory.
  • Unzip the file. If you’re not sure how to do this, try double-clicking the file that you downloaded. The result should be a folder with a name similar to skinname_skin-7.0.2 and is filled with files like index.main.php.
  • Connect to the webspace where b2evolution is installed via FTP and upload the unzipped folder into the skins/ folder of your b2evolution installation.
  • Reload the "Install a New Skin" screen (depicted above)
  • Locate your skin. If the skin is not displayed:
    • check that you have the correct skin type and collection kind filters
    • check that the skin files have the correct file permissions
  • Click on the Install NOW! link
