Front-side themes starting from Textpattern version 4.7.0 can be installed by uploading them to themes
folder. A valid theme ought to have a main folder and inside that manifest.json
file that contains an arrayful of details about the theme in question. Other components are put inside these folders: forms
, pages
and styles
. The styles
folder is for CSS files if such files are managed using Textpattern’s admin interface.
