A lot of old 1.6-era themes only need template tweaks to render correctly.

I have been rebuilding my forum theme with a file-based workflow and it is so much nicer than clicking through the ACP.

Bootstrap 5 works fine inside MyBB as long as you namespace your overrides.

Remember to hard-refresh after syncing, the CSS cache is aggressive.

Great release, installed it on my test board.

Try the incremental sync, it only touches changed templates.

Thanks for sharing, saved me a lot of time.

Nice thread, following for the replies.

The on-disk workflow changed how I build themes completely.

Interesting — I will have to try that.

I namespace everything under a .mybb wrapper class to avoid collisions.
