Looking for this interface?
Note:

Your hosting provider can enable or disable this interface for resellers in WHM's Edit Reseller Nameservers and Privileges interface (WHM >> Home >> Resellers >> Edit Reseller Nameservers and Privileges).

Overview

The Theme Manager interface allows you to install, preview, clone, download, and delete custom themes for the cPanel, Login, and Webmail interfaces. The theme contains many elements, such as HTML and CSS.

Note:
  • You cannot create custom themes or localization for WHM.
  • You cannot use this interface to customize a theme. Use WHM’s Customization interface (WHM » Home » cPanel » Customization) to apply changes to this interface.

File dependencies

When you create your own themes or use a theme that WebPros International, LLC does not provide, you must ensure that the following files exist:

  • /usr/local/cpanel/base/frontend/$theme/passwd/changepass.html

  • /usr/local/cpanel/base/frontend/$theme/passwd/index.html

These files control interfaces that the system uses whenever you change a cPanel user’s password. If you do not copy or create these interfaces, users cannot change their passwords if the following conditions are true:

  • You used WHM’s Force Password Change interface (WHM » Home » Account Functions » Force Password Change) to require the user to change the account’s password.

  • The user’s password is too old or too weak, as you defined in WHM’s Configure Security Policies interface (WHM » Home » Security Center » Configure Security Policies).

Theme Manager

The Theme Manager interface allows you to install, preview, clone, download, and delete custom themes for the following interfaces:

  • Default cPanel Themes — When you click Customize Themes under Default cPanel Themes, the system directs you to WHM’s Customization interface (WHM » Home » cPanel » Customization).

  • cPanel — A theme for the cPanel interface. Click Manage Themes to install, preview, clone, download, and delete custom themes.

  • Login — The theme that appears on the cPanel login interface. Click Manage Themes to install, preview, clone, download, and delete custom themes.
