How to Succesfully Change Your PhpNuke Theme:

In My Tutorial You Can Find:
-How to install a PhpNuke Theme
-How/Where to Download a PhpNuke Theme and Extract it
-How to change your PhpNuke Theme using Admin Panel

Changing a theme/template with PHP-Nuke is quite an easy task. Generally, you will just have to download the theme archive, extract it to your local computer and upload it to your ‘themes’ directory. A good source of free PHP-Nuke themes is the PHP-Nuke official web site and the forum that comes with it. Or Kalgash Themes at www.kalgash.com

First, we will need to find a theme archive to use. For the purpose of this tutorial I have chosen griffin. Please, download griffin.zip file on your local computer and extract it. This will create a new directory called Griffin.

To make the new template available for your PHP-Nuke application we will have to upload it first. Please open an FTP connection using your favorite FTP client and navigate to your PHP-Nuke directory(I personally Recommend Core FTP Lite). In our case this is the ‘public_html’ directory. From there, please enter the themes directory and upload the whole extracted Griffin directory. This will create a new directory with the same name, which will have the following full path: /clan-nda.frih.net/public_html/themes/griffin.

This is the Main Directory of My Site

This is the Main Directory of My PhpNuke Files


Once uploaded, please enter your PHP-Nuke administrative control panel (the admin.php) and click on 'Preferences' tab.Scroll down a little and locate 'Default Theme for your site' drop-down menu. Click on it and select Griffin(If you dont see it you havent uploaded it correctly) from the list in order to switch to the new theme. Click on the 'Save Changes' button at the end of the page and the new theme will be up.

Your Website should look something like this:


Additionally, you can try changing the theme to one of the 14 already available themes that comes with every default installation of PHP-Nuke.
