How do I install a Moodle theme?

To install a Moodle theme, you’ll need access to the file directory on your server.

  1. Unzip the .zip file to an empty local directory.
  2. Upload the unzipped file to your web server to /moodle/theme/[theme_name], where [theme_name] is the name of the theme you’ve downloaded.
  3. Ensure the new theme folder and its contents are readable by the webserver. Change Read and Write permissions (CHMOD) for the files and folder to 755 - Owner read/write/execute, Group read/execute, Everyone read/execute. Incorrect permissions may prevent display of the newly installed theme.
  4. Choose your new theme from within Moodle via Administration > Appearance > Themes > Theme selector.
