Community Themes

Themes created by the Ava CMS community. Drop these into your app/themes/ folder and set them in your config. Some themes may be designed for certain content configurations so check the themes README for more info.

Security warning: Community themes are third-party code and are not vetted or audited by the Ava CMS project. A theme can include PHP (e.g. theme.php), templates, and assets that run with the same permissions as your site. Only install themes from authors you trust, review the source before deploying, and test in a staging environment.
