Only Some Styles are showing up able to be installed

Post by CT Librarian »

I'm using phpbb 3.2.2.
My site is Caelestis-templares.com/forum.

I'm trying to install a dark theme for the site, and have tried several different ones, based on either Prosilver or Subsilver.
When I download them locally, unzip them locally, then upload them to my root/forum/styles folader, only some of them are appearing in the "Install Styles" UI. Then it tells me, "No uninstalled styles detected."

Despite that, though, my FTP file list is showing that they are properly placed. Can anyone help me figure out what's happening wrong, or what it is that I don't know?

They're all made for 3.0.
You cannot use styles for 3.0 on 3.2

:shock: :roll:
</facepalm>
It's that simple?
Man ... that's kind off silly ... I presumed that most would be compatible, unless they were really outdated, or something.
I've made a point of not messing with the ones that had red-font statements that said they were no longer supported, or no lnger updated.

Sadness. But, thank you. I appreciate the help. :)

3.0 styles are really outdated. They will have been written well over 3 years ago. Support for 3.0 ended over a year ago itself.
They also won't be responsive and won't have any of the event hooks for extensions.

LOL! Well, that 'slpains it! LOL!
I didn't know that phBB had come quite that far that fast! Good to know! (I'm new to the whole thing.)

Thanks again for all the info, KevC ...
