Hi, I created a forum months ago and I tried to modify the templates, however the following message appears and I do not know what to do:

"In this page, you can modify templates and change your forum look.
Modified templates are written in green.
(unpublished templates are shown red) To use the default template again, delete your template by clicking on delete.

Only templates of phpbb2 or PunBB versions will be affected."



There is no option or text box for me to edit. I have searched solutions in "Frequently Asked Questions", but I did not get success. Can someone help me?
Well, thanks in advance and sorry if my question is somewhat noob!


P.S.: Sorry my grammar errors, but English isn't my native language.

You press the link to the area you want to edit, a new page will load that shows the template that you are editing.

Thanks for your reply slg, but I don't understand very well your explanation.
Now, I noticed that a different message appeared first:

""Templates management" option has expired.

You are not allowed to modify templates.
To enable this option again, go to the Credits management panel.

Your templates are still used. If you wish to restore default templates, click on the link below.
Be careful: your templates will be erased !

Only templates of phpbb2 or PunBB versions will be affected."


So, I have to enable something in the "Credits management", right?? but, where?
I see only the following options: Storage, Ads, Domain Name and Copyrights.

Is your forum version phpBB 2?

it's only available for phpbb2 and punbb. . .

you can't edit templates if your forum version is phpbb3 or invision

Problem solved!!!


I don't know why my version was phpbb3, I thought it was phpBB 2.
Thanks slg and FL.ux for your support, patience and time.
