You can change the default theme by uploading a theme to the themes folder on your FTP server.

After that you have to set the new theme in the config.php file.

PHP

        
              $cfg['defaulttheme'] = 'nameofthetheme';

Hope that helps!

Once the theme has been uploaded and you have followed Twiebie's instructions you can always change the theme you use by selecting a different one from your profile settings (example: www.example.com/index.php?e=users&m=profile). You can also force the default theme for all your users in the admin panel under themes. So what ever you set this to:

1	`$cfg['defaulttheme'] =` `'nameofthetheme';`

is what everyone will use

If you have customised any of the php files in the template folder you need to make sure they all share the same name (as the theme). As said before in the config file you set $cfg['defaulttheme'] = 'nameofthetheme'; - so you only set this to the name of the the theme you have uploaded, not a URL or any thing other than the name. What theme are you trying to upload/set or is it a custom one?

Members Thanked: 12 раз	Are you running Siena Or Genoa? I'm not sure if it makes much of a difference without looking as I use Siena but it says for that theme: Compatibility: Genoa Anyways have you checked to make sure they haven't put the actual theme folder inside another folder and you are uploading the whole thing? Make sure in your directory its www.example.com/themes/themename and not www.example.com/themes/themename/themename or anything like that. It should be /themename/ and then all the tpl files,plugins, js, css and php files in there. Also make sure when you are setting the config file not to put spaces in the name. If your setting it as "Blanco y Negro" you will probably have this problem? Anyways if this didn't help try and give me some more information and I will try and help.
