How To Install A Style On vBulletin

How To Install A Style On vBulletin. Alright, so I understand that many users have questions pertaining how they should install themes and most of the time it is newbies who are doing it the first time. Installing a style to your website is quite easy and takes only a couple minutes depending on the size. Below are some instructions/Hints/Tips.

  • Find the theme you want! This can take time for some like myself. Find one that fits your site the best and the topic.
  • Download the style, open the .ZIP/.RAR file and see if it includes a "README" or something similar. If it includes one, then you are good to go, just follow the instructions.
  • Almost 99.9% of the time, you will take the file that says "Upload" and place whats inside in your Vbulletin folder/site location in the FTP.
  • Take the XML file that is included and place it on your desktop. This will help you for easier access to it for later steps.
  • Go on your site to the AdminCP>Styles & Templates>Download/Upload Style>Import Style XML File (located at the bottom.
  • Browse for the XML which you placed on your Desktop.
  • Click Import at the bottom if you do not need to click anything else.
  • Now your theme/style is on your site and ready to be made default or be edited.

To make your style default
  • Maneuver to Settings>Options>Style and Language Settings>Default Style
  • Select the theme you just uploaded's name.
  • Click "Save" at the bottom.
