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 likeindex.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
