How Can We Help?
There are many bootstrap themes out there, the most popular themes are made by bootswatch.com
So the first thing you have to find out, is the type of bootstrap theme.
There are two at all:
Type 1: The themes completely replace the bootstrap file
Type 2: The themes working next to the bootstrap files
If you are unsure, just try to replace the bootstrap file and if mostly all elements look crap, its the second type 😉
Below are the step you have to take, when your theme is type 1:
- If you only have a
bootstrap.css
file (its the not minified version), just rename it tobootstrap.min.css
- Use your favorite ftp manager (e.g. Filezilla) and move into
/your-phpBB-installation/styles/comboot-free/themes/comboot/<
/li> - Place your theme file named
bootstrap-theme.min.css
(!important) into the comboot folder - At least you have to edit some configs. Therefore open
/your-phpBB-installation/styles/comboot-free/template/config.html
and change the variableDEFINE $THEME_FILE = 0 to 1
, so the line looks likeDEFINE $THEME_FILE = 1
If your theme is type 2, follow these steps:
- Take your downloaded
bootstrap.min.css
orbootstrap.css
(it also possible, that the name differs) file and rename it tobootstrap-theme.min.css
- Use your favorite ftp manager (e.g. Filezilla) and move into
/your-phpBB-installation/styles/comboot-free/themes/comboot/
- Replace the current
bootstrap.min.css
with your theme file
