    How to activate Child Theme

    Hi,

    I have made a child theme of Grey Stripes via AdminCP->Style Manager. I have made the necessary changes and pressed save. When I go to my forum, it still displays the original Grey Stripes theme and not the child version (as I have changed the background colour in the child theme in the body_background).

    What have I missed in order to activate this child theme??

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    In AdminCP > Settings > Options > Style & Language Settings, change the Default Style option to the child theme you created. Set 'Allow Users To Change Styles' option to No if you don't want users to switch to other themes.

        One other question....will I lose this child theme when I do a future upgrade? Or is it like wordpress in that it retains the child theme.

        Thanks,

        Jeff
