When you start working on your website, you are most likely to stumble upon the Grav themes.

A standard feature of Grav CMS is the vast theme library that allows you to fully customize the look and feel of your website.

A Grav theme is a collection of templates, styles, and other files that determine the visual layout of your website. Themes control how your website looks and feels and include a wide range of options to arrange your website content, colors, fonts, media, and overall design.

In this article, we share how to install and activate a Grav theme, so you change the design of your site just the way you want.

 

How to Install a Grav Theme

To install a Grav theme, you should first log in to your admin panel.

After that, navigate to Themes from the sidebar:

Install a Grav theme via the Admin Dasboard

 

Then, click on the blue +Add button at the top right corner of the new page that should open:

Install a new Grav Theme

 

A new page with a list of themes should open. It looks like this:

Grav Themes Library

 

From here, you can browse all the available Grav themes and select the one that best fits your layout requirements.

You can use the Filter option to find a specific theme or a collection of themes that can fit your requirements for a specific type of website you wish to create:

To know more about a certain theme, click on its featured image:

Either way, you choose, a message box will appear. Once you see it, click on the blue Continue button:

After the installation process is finished, Grav will show a confirmation message such as this one:

Now your theme is installed, and you only need to activate it.

 

How to Activate a Grav Theme

Grav Themes Menu

 

A new page with a list of your installed themes will appear. While on this page, click on the Activate button right below the newly installed Grav theme:

Once you click on Activate, a popup box should appear. Click on Continue:

After you click on Continue, Grav will activate the theme and once it does, a page with a confirmation message and details about the activated theme should appear:

Grav Active Theme Details

 

After you see this page, click on the blue Save button, located at the top right corner of the screen:

Grav Active Theme Save Changes

 

Now you have successfully installed and activated a new Grav theme.

 

Conclusion

Installing and activating a Grav theme is a simple process that can be done via the Grav admin dashboard. With your new theme installed, you can customize your website and create a unique look and feel for each of your web pages.
