Question I am installing a new Joomla template for my website and I want to move my forum

Hi,


I am installing a new template for my website. I am using a jumpstart; therefore, i need to move the forum over to the new template. How can I do that?

I don't understand the meaning of the word "jumpstart". If you are installing a new Joomla site template on an existing Joomla website you should not need to do anything as far as Kunena is concerned.

I did not know if I have to move folders around or not.

I will repeat, word-for-word, what I wrote before:

You install a Joomla site template, just like you install any Joomla extension. I don't understand the signficance of your follow-up comment about moving "folders" around. Which "folders"? I do not understand how this topic relates specifically to Kunena.

I have changed my template a number of times and have not had to move my data\forums\folders. You can find some templates here www.kunena.org/ked/templates

From the admin side of your site go to Extensions and then 'Install\Uninstall'

Under the 'Upload Package File' select browse and go to the location of your .zip file select it click open then "Upload File & Install'

Next go to 'Components...Kunena Forum' from there go to the 'Template Manager' and select the template you want to make the default by clicking the selection button and the 'Default.'

I hope this helps.

Thanks, David, but I'm not sure if that's the question that was asked.

If I understand correctly, the KED has a number of Kunena templates. To install a new Kunena template you use the Kunena Template Manager - there's no involvement with the Joomla Extension Manager and Kunena templates.

But, yes, you do install a new Joomla site template using the Joomla Extension Manager.

That is correct, I have been working on so many different things in Joomla today I mixed it up. Thanks for catching my mistake!
