I've just (today) got started with Pligg and after having installed the package on my host, all CHMODS etc done correctly, etc etc., I now want to install the Mystique theme template from Unu. The problem is I can't achieve this.

I've done what I think I'm supposed to do by swapping out the relevant text in /templates/templates.tpl to reflect the new template but on saving/reloading the site nothing changes.

I'm used to changing themes and plugins in Wordpress, where things are really easy, and I assumed this would be the same but apparently not.

Perhaps - being a complete newbie to Pligg - I'm wrong? If so, can anybody please point me at the correct procedure?

Thanks in advance.

Colin

Just as Yankidank described above.
Also note there is no need to modify /templates/templates.tpl

Thanks guys. That did it.

I didn't realise that it was necessary to enter the template name as text in the second box - I was expecting a drop-down option as per the first.

Anyway, it works now so many thanks.
