Changing your Primary Theme

Article Topic: Themes, Member Area, CMS Tour, Design

Each Tour or Member Area has a single user-facing theme, known as the Active Theme, that is viewable to visitors.

You can create multiple themes for your Tour or Member Area, but only a single Theme can be active at any given moment. This allows you to manage and preview Themes that you are currently working on without affecting your live tour.

Please Note: You can have a single active theme per Member Area or Tour.

A crucial part of managing your business is creating new themes to capitalize on changing trends, customizing them, and updating your site, all while users can still use your site.

This is done by modifying a Theme that is not currently Active. In this flow, the user is on your site using the Active theme while you are customizing and modifying your new Theme.

In the above photo, the Modified Helpful Hands Tour is being managed, and changes made to that Theme will not affect changes made to the currently Active Theme, Helpful Hands Tour, which is viewable to visitors and users of your site.

Creating a New Theme

Themes can be easily created and modified using the same menu to manage which Theme is active.

1. Navigate to the Theme section of the CMS and select the "Manage Themes" button to the right of the page.

2. Select the "Add Theme" button at the top right of the newly opened modal.

3. Select the "Add New" button.

4. Select a Theme to Import, in this case, the Helpful Hands Tour if you are creating a new Tour Theme, or Helpful Hands if you are creating a new Members Area Theme.

Clicking the Helpful Hands option will create a new theme at the bottom of your list, which can be renamed, activated, managed, and more.

Active Themes

Your Active Theme is the Theme that users can view when they visit your Tour or Member Area.

To activate a theme so it is viewable by users, select the three dots to the right of the theme and select "Activate." This means you can only have a single theme active and viewable to visitors at any given time. While you can only have a single theme active at a time, you can modify any of your available themes.
