How to install a style/theme?
I have vBulletin 3.0.15 and I have downloaded a style for it. The style came in a zip file, it has folders full of fonts, images, icons, and smilies, and there is an XML file, but no instructions on how to actually install it on the server.
Can someone point me to instructions on how to do this? I am not sure as to where these folders are supposed to be uploaded. Thanks.

AdminCP > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Download / Upload Styles
Import the style like this. Then upload the images where they told you too.

Hi, okay I have version 3.5.6 and I dowloaded several styles into my host site's FTP file. When I went to put in my ftp://myforumname.com/forums/coffee/vbulletin-style.xml, I got this message:
"you did not specify a file to upload, so vBulletin will try to..." yadda yadda yadda. I clicked yes and got "no file uploaded and no local file found." When I type that address into the address line of IE, it shows the entire file. What am I doing wrong?

Which file should I choose with the browse and upload button? When I choose the xml file, I don't get the buttons or anything else. All I get is the background colors and since the buttons don't translate over, it throws my forum offline because I get the words "bold italic, indent..." etc...
...I appreciate your response... Sorry..I'm really a novice at this... Does anyone have an answer? I'd really appreciate it... God, will somebody please help me...I paid a lot of money for this software...

Please relize that this is a site where people help each other.
Once the style is imported you need to upload the images. I'd suggest asking the AUTHOR of the style for help or the company you bought it from.

Thanks for responding but I'm sorry - I gave up last night. I'm going to hire a designer to finish the work for me. I came over here because I was told to utilize this forum for the styles and the vbux because the dot.com doesn't support either. It's not so much that this was a difficult process because I truly am a novice and I followed everything I was told step-by-step and know that yeah maybe I could have screwed things up because nobody uses the exact same terminology, but I couldn't even get the admins over on the dot.com to help me and when I got desperate and asked anybody for help, I got a rude terse response from the head admin there. I did the best I could with this. I'm glad I did the lease and not the full purchase or I else I would have been out of $160 bucks. Please don't misunderstand I'm not angry at you or giving you atttitude because I realize you're only doing what you can but the lack of help from the vBull people has been horrific and I'm only gonna do the vboard for the one year and then go with another forum.
But again, thank you.

I'm a staff member here and at .com, its my job to help you where I can.
The issue is that you bought a style from a third party, that third party should be the one helping you get it installed first. I've done my best to try to help you, but I've got no clue who your style is from, how they did it, where the images need to be uploaded, etc. Its hard to help with knowing so litte.
