Hey Guyz In The Last Tutorial I Showed How To Create A Free MyBB-Based Forum.
This Time I Will Show You How To Install Themes On It !!
With their highly customized theme importer, you can import not only the theme's XML but also the images!
Note: Due to there being no standard format for theme zip files, you will most likely have to change up the zip before you can upload it.
In this documentation we will use the Blue Lust them as an example.
The InstantMyBB theme importer will not be able to handle this structure, so we will have to change it up a bit.
First off, rename the XML file (Blue Lust-theme.xml) to "theme.xml".
Then, move all of the Image Files (the ones inside Upload>images>lust) into a directory called "images" at the same level as the theme.xml. Now the main directory should look like this:
![[Image: reformatted.png]]()
Next, create a zip archive with those files in the root directory.
Now go to your forum's AdminCP and navigate to "Templates & Styles => Themes => Import a Theme" and upload the zip in the "Local File" upload box. If there was something wrong with the theme's XML file and you get an error all of your images will still be uploaded, and you can fix the xml and import it alone.
