To change the default Template for the Site (Front-end) or Administrator (Back-end), follow these steps:


<translate>

<translate>

  • Click on: Extensions  Templates</translate>

[[Image:Extension-manager-template-manager-3x<translate> -en</translate>.png|800px]]

<translate> You will now see the Template Manager screen.</translate>

<translate> Note If you do not see Templates listed as an option on the Extensions menu, then it is most likely because you are not logged in as a Super User. Only Super Users will see this menu item.</translate>


From here you manage your templates for Front-end and Back-end. The default view shows your installed Front-end templates. The default template for the Front-end is marked with a star; in the image below it is protostar.

To change the default template to beez3:

  • click the checkbox left from the template name to select it;
  • click "Default" on the toolbar;

the star changes from protostar to beez3 and you are done. Alternatively, you can click on the shadow of a template's default start to quickly set the template as default.

Assigning more than one template for the Front-end[edit]

Joomla! gives you the option of switching between two or more templates on the Front-end. This is done with "Menu Assignment", so you can set different templates for each menu or only a menu item. This allows specific "pages" that are defined by menu links to set for a "specific" template.

Click on: Extensions  Template Manager

  • You see your installed templates, now choose a template which is not set as your default one.
  • Click on the template name or hit the checkbox to the left of the template name, and click "Edit" on the toolbar.
  • You now see the page "Template: [ Edit ]", and go to the section "Menu Assignment" block and choose the menu items on which the template items should be shown.
