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:

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