Create a new theme

In group: Community Design & Support

It is good practice to create a new #theme like so:-

In your admin CP go here:-

Home > Site Manager > Themes Manager

Click the [Create New Theme] button

Add all the information to the cells like above example.
Based on: Default Theme
or
Based on: Dark Theme, etc
You may also do this on any theme made for you by mooSocial.

The name of your theme would be in that directory. For example:-

Lets call the new theme the GOD theme.

This would now be in here:-

\app\webroot\theme\GOD

The css page would be here:-

\app\webroot\theme\GOD\css

custom.css

Add all the css updated information to this file.

Always create a new theme because when there is an mooSocial update it could override your default theme and any changes you may have made.

Next step is to make it your default theme.

Select from your admin menu this:-

Home > System Admin > System Settings

Select the General tab.

Next scroll down to Default Theme and select your theme from the drop down menu.

Then scroll down again to the bottom and click the Save Settings button.

This theme will now load as your default theme for your website until a members changes to another theme if you allow this option.

One more thing never change the main.css because this is a core file for the script. You only need to make small changes to the custom.css file to get great results.

Done.
