Installation

This guide describes how to install the Obvio theme and its bundled modules on a DNN site. The process consists of 3 steps: adjust the upload limit → install the theme and modules → apply the theme.

Requirements

To use skins and modules, you must be running DNN 9.8.0 or higher. You need a working version of DotNetNuke already installed. If you need help installing DNN, follow the instructions in the DNN Documentation Center.


Installation Steps

1. Adjust the Upload Size Limit

The theme and module packages are large, so increase the upload limit first:

  1. Log in to your site as super administrator (Host)
  2. Go to Settings > Security > More
  3. Select the MORE SECURITY SETTINGS tab
  4. Change Max Upload Size to 28 (MB) or higher

Adjust the upload size limit


2. Install the Theme and Modules

  1. Go to Settings > Extensions and click Install Extension
  2. Upload and install the following packages:

Install the Core Module First

Make sure you install DNNGo ThemePluginPro first — the layout and settings features of the theme all depend on it.


3. Apply the Theme

  1. Go to Manage > Themes
  2. Select and apply Obvio

Select and apply the Obvio theme

  1. Set both Site Theme and Edit Theme to Obvio – index

Next Steps

After installing and applying the theme, you still need to initialize the theme, upload resource files and adjust the HTML editor settings before first use. Continue with Preparations Before Using the Skin.
