Moodle 4.x Theme Edutor – How To Install And Activate The Theme

Edutor is our latest premium Moodle 4.x theme designed for higher education and corporate training sites. You can follow the steps below to install the theme.

Before installing the theme please make sure your site is running Moodle 4.0+. If you’re still using Moodle 3.x you need to upgrade your Moodle site first.

Step 1

After purchasing you will receive an email containing a download link to the theme zip file. Download the zip file to your computer and then unzip.

You should see two folders and a readme file as shown in the figure below. The “edutor” folder is the actual theme folder. The other folder “edutor-theme-demo-psd” contains useful Photoshop design templates for creating our demo images.

FileZilla is a free FTP program for PC and Mac – https://filezilla-project.org
