Managing Themes
Manage Theme is your theme gallery: switch the active theme, preview or update the ones you have installed, and install new themes from a file or the theme store.
Opening the Screen
Open Settings > Theme/Customization, then click the Manage Theme tab. It also opens directly at:
{admin}/settings/theme?group=theme
What Is on the Screen
Installed Themes shows one card per theme in your system, active theme first. Each card shows a screenshot, name, and version, plus a short description or the theme's provider.
The card itself shows an In Development badge if the theme isn't ready to activate, and an Update badge when a newer version is available. A theme in the store you have not installed yet can also show an Official badge. To see whether a theme is Premium, Official, or Commercial, open its Theme Details.
Hovering a card reveals an Export icon, and a Remove icon on every card except the active theme. Clicking a card, or its Theme Details button, opens a dialog with the theme's description, features, and license, support, and update information.
The active theme's card shows a Settings button instead of activation controls. Every other installed theme shows Activate and Preview.
Premium Themes, further down, lists themes from the WISECP store you have not installed. A theme you already own shows Install; others show a price with Buy Now and Learn More.
An Upload Theme button at the top opens a dialog for installing a theme from your own file.
Tasks
Activating a Theme
Click Activate on an installed theme's card. The site switches right away, and the card moves to the front, marked as active.
Uploading a Theme
Click Upload Theme. Drag your file onto the drop zone, or click it to browse. Once a file is selected, click Upload & Install. Only .zip files are accepted, up to 50MB.
Installing or Buying a Premium Theme
For a theme you already purchased, open Premium Themes and click Install. Once installed, find it under Installed Themes and activate it there. For a theme you have not bought, click Buy Now to purchase it, or Learn More for details first.
Previewing, Checking Details, and Updating
Click Preview on any installed theme to open your live site with that theme, without activating it. Click a card, or Theme Details, for full information. When the Update badge is showing, update the theme to its newest version from that same dialog. On an installation running in demo mode, Preview is turned off and the button says so: there the appearance panel your visitors see handles theme switching.
Removing a Theme
Open the card's hover menu and click the trash icon, then confirm. This deletes the theme's files from your server.
Things to Watch
There is no confirmation step. Visitors see the new theme the moment you click Activate, so preview it first if you are unsure.
Its files are deleted for good. You cannot remove the theme that is currently active.
You can still open Preview to see how one looks, until the theme itself is marked ready.
Required Privileges
- SETTINGS_THEME_CONFIGURE — required for every action on this tab: activating, uploading, installing, updating, exporting, and removing a theme.
