Changing the Look and Feel of Elgg

The look and feel of Elgg can be easily changed through the use of themes. A theme is a type of plugin that overrides display aspects of Elgg.

Where to get themes

Themes can be obtained from:

• The Elgg website

Theme installation

A theme is installed just as all plugins are installed. Simply copy the theme's folder to the "mod" directory in your Elgg install and then activate it from the Elgg admin panel.

To activate the theme:

• Log in to your Elgg site with your administrator account
• Go to Administration -> Tool Administration
• Find your theme in the list of installed plugins and click on the 'enable' button.

Often you will want the theme to be the last plugin to run. The order of the plugins in the Tool Administration page determines their loading order; to make the theme run last, click the bottom link.
