Discourse Theme how to install?

Hi Daniel_Chu

I’m guessing you are referring to

There are two ways to modify Discourse in ways not presented via the Admin UI

* A lot can be achieved using the Admin UI so IMHO you should look into what can be done there if you haven’t already. eg.

.
But if what’s there isn’t enough, you can:

  • Hack the Core code
  • and maintain your own Fork
    or
  • reapply your hacks every time you upgrade

(read - Maintenance Nightmare / Security Risk - so please don’t)

  • Use a plugin

The above linked SitePoint theme is a plugin.
To install it please see

* Note, Discourse uses SCSS. so if you are wanting to make your own tweaks you should be somewhat familiar with it though CSS alone will get get you far
