PHPBB Forum Problem

Post by Dark||Side|| »

Hi there,

I have uploaded a couple of theme's to my FTP
and I go to change the theme of the forum but non of them are there except for the bog-standard theme PHPBB originally Supplies you with,

I have never had this problem when I have built other forums but I just can't Figure it out,


Could anyone please offer some help and guide me to get this sorted

I would appreciate this very much,

Many thanks In advance,



Regards


Nick.

One of the most common issues we see with phpBB forum themes is that the version of the theme must match the version of phpBB you're running. Any older versions will not load, you'll want to double check the themes you're uploading are compatible with the version you have loaded.

Many thanks for your reply and your time.

My phpbb forum version Is 3.1.7-pl1 and the phpbb theme I am trying to use is Style version: 3.2.10
So I guess I have to update the Forum Version but I have never done that with PHPBB i've only just come back to phpbb after using Vbulliten.

So could you help me on how to update the version please.

The phpBB knowledge base has a detailed guide available for updating their forum software. This guide is linked here: https://www.phpbb.com/support/docs/en/3 ... of-phpbb3/
