Thank you for sharing the details about the FLATBOOTS theme for phpBB! It’s great to see the emphasis on high performance and modern design. The integration of Bootstrap for a mobile-first approach is particularly appealing, as it ensures cross-browser and cross-device compatibility. The support for smart colors and modular design further enhances its flexibility.
Great Work!
- can I use this theme on multiple domains?
- have this theme a license to activate?
Hi!
You should have 1 license per domain.

BBOOTS vs. FLATBOOTS – configurability options, SEO, etc.? Trying to decide!!
Hi Kar!
The key differences beside the style design are: BBOOTS is for Admins users who likes to have many info displayed at all time. For example their user profile information or board information, links, widgets etc etc.
FLATBOOTS is geared toward the “post content” rather than anything else that is usually just taking away from the main discussions, just like the user profile with tons of info etc.
Another thing to notice is that FLATBOOTS is a newer design and more p[popular therefore there has been a lot of premium work developed , like premium extension, tutorials, special layouts etc.
There are TONS of free addons available and also many Premium addons developed by me and for FREE. The premium paid addon are considered custom freelance work. These are NOT needed for the theme to work but they are an optional addition to enhance an Admin’s community.
So with that in mind let me know what you choose 
With the purchase of FLATBOOTS, would I have free access to all Premium addons developed by you?
Hi, some premium addons are free. Other premium addons are not. Having said this, there is a popular membership package new client take advantage of.
However this is a discussion we need to have via email as its not related to themeforest. These are considered freelance services. Send me an email after the theme purchase so I can assist you further!
Cheers!
Last question please. I plan to purchase both themes. Once support ends, can I continue support on just one theme and use it for the second one as well?
Hi,
yeah that is not a problem for me! I still fix bugs if any for clients anyway. So all good.
But for sure get in touch via email after the purchase so I can help you better!
Dave
Great Dave, thank you! Just purchased both, with extra 6 month support. Will email you next few days, and will also follow-up with reviews on both themes! Thanks again!!
Of course anytime. We’ll chat via email later. Grab one of the purchase code from the downloads as you will need it to register on sitesplat.com (Official Dedicated Client support forum)
Cheers!
Hi, I am getting the following error:
phpBB Debug PHP Warning: in file ROOT /ext/sitesplat/BBCore/event/listener.php on line 70: in_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, boolean given
I’m using php 7.4 and phpbb version 3.3.10
Hi, we are already in touch via email. if someone else is reading this, you need to download the new update for the BBcore.
Is it compatible with version 3.3.10?
Hi, sorry for the late reply, yes it compatible. Being a custom development type of theme means there is no need to release a copy of the theme every time there is a phpBB update. 
Hi, this looks really interesting. I just wonder if there’s any way to preview other colour schemes before purchasing?
Hi, can you post the color code you would like to see for the global accent? PS: the clients forum sitesplat.com has a quick tool that allows the client to generate the global color scheme in one click. Literally. you enter the color code and it will generate the whole code for you to place in the stylesheet.
You can also use a “Mini CMS” that is a plugin specially designed for FLATBOOTS that allows you to control the theme directly via ACP (Admin Control Panel).
Wow, thanks for your quick and in-depth reply. I have lots of options for colour, but let me try #668cff just so I get an idea of what changes. Thank you very much! 
Do I have to renew support to get my user activated on sitesplat.com forum? Because my username is not active anymore there.
Hi Del, got your email and replied. We’ll go from there.
Very good. With all of your themes is everything needed to recreate the demos such as extensions etc bundled in the download package? Also will it work with the latest phpbb version and php 8?
Hey M, sorry just saw this comment. please send an email via the contact form here: https://themeforest.net/user/themesplat (right side of that page)
Thanks!
Hi, is there an option to attach/replace fonts to generated via fontsquirrel.com webfont generator?
Hi Guys, you don’t answer here as well as on your support forum. I wrote 2 tickets 4 days ago and nothing. An integral part of the purchase is 6 month support. If you are unable to provide it, I’m happy to remove your template and have mo money back.
Hi Adam, Sorry I’m on vacation for March break! – I just answered to your last posts. We’ll continue from there if you need further help! Cheers!
I did follow all the steps, but the following error is appearing.
on line 70: in_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, bool given
Please look into it and try to fix it, I’ll be really grateful.

Hey, new Upates in plan? And is a Update to Bootstrap 5 in plan?
Is it worth buying this template? I have visited the forum and it seems quite abandoned by the author… There are several threads created by users with no response and the last message from the administrator is from last year. It’s a shame because I really liked it.
Hello,
the forum is private for clients only. What you are seeing are older posts.
Having said this, 3 minutes after your message there is the developer reply
Check the reviews and the years I’ve been in business.
The one posted in those links are not all and not all the latest ones. There are so many products! 
This is a professional development has been going since 2012
Tons of stuff has been built and maintained since then.
Check live demo too if you like.
Anything else, let me know. I’m an email or comment of forum post away 
regards Dave
Hi Author I Am purchase FLATBOOTS And install it But BBCore is not install properly Website have Same error BBCore is not working
http://picfile.org/ on line 70: in_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, bool givenHi Raj!
Thanks for reaching out and sorry about your issue there. See this: https://sitesplat.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=35871#p35871Let me know how it goes.
when using the style mobile, if there is more than 1 page in the theme, there is no way to go to the next/prev by clicking on the button, or page number, you have to enter the page number, this is very inconvenient, correct it
Hi V,
where did you see that? All working as intended in the latest version:
https://gyazo.com/47c30d29481cdef3841a51ab98b76e4elet me know.
Thanks!
example in mobile, in BBOOTS style they are displayed normally, in the form of push buttons 1,2, etc., is it possible to do the same in FLATBOOTS?
in themes there is a similar problem, it is very inconvenient to navigate pages from a mobile
Hi V,
They are two different themes so I’m not planning to merge differences to make them similar. Does not make any sense
They target two different types of Admins and users out there.
Mobile is always going to be somewhat problematic. This is due to the very nature of forums. Just too much information, content and elements to deal with.
The best thing todo would be to remove things. But again Admins and users will not understand this move and they would think you are providing less of what their idea is… This will result in many unhappy people 
I just have very large forums and topics, and I see a problem if a person on a mobile phone, in order to view a topic of 20 pages, has to enter numbers 20 times from the virtual keyboard on the screen, instead of just clicking on a number or next / previous page .. maybe there is a mod to fix this situation, I think from the point of view of the SEO, links to the next and previous pages of the topic are quite important
Is it more convenient than just pressing a button?
automatically, the topic is less convenient for large forums, because this way you can only show topics from one page, the second and further with such navigation will often simply be ignored, due to the inconvenience of navigating through them
I think that’s the best solution. You can click to go to X topic.
In any case the next and previous buttons are there. That’s what I was saying to you 4 months ago lol
See this:
https://gyazo.com/7ae1280f7180f47be75b5142165cd9ebSo I think that’s what you meant?
Maybe I misunderstood. let me know.
regards
you show the full version for a large screen, and in the mobile there are no buttons, even the previous / next page of the topic / section, or I don’t see them, show them on the mobile screen https://gyazo.com/f2094d257acd7fb6cd5cb8c747ccbf6f
maybe it is more convenient for some person to press to go to the next page of the topic, 3-4 times on the screen instead of once – the button … but I think the search engine by going to such a page will either not index the related pages of the topic or lower them if there is a transition goes not by direct links, but in a similar way. because this is a significant drop in usability in this particular form, and what is a shame, because in the full-screen version everything is fine with this, and the deterioration refers specifically to users of smartphones.
It’s a pity I can’t register on your forum, because it would be desirable to discuss this in the thematic community.
I think, despite such remarks, everything can be customized, it’s just a pity that this is exactly what was done from the box, and the product itself is not bad.
Hi V,
that was fixed long time ago but never updated on the DEMO. See here the current format:
https://gyazo.com/d280497d241840d181473902225871e4then there are no questions, I only see the old demo and judge by it
Perfect, feel free to purchase FLATBOOTS. Looking forward to seeing you join the dedicated clients community over at sitesplat.com
Cheers!
I am getting an error after installing. Opened tickets, NO Response
Author is unresponsive. Opened Tickets in their support forum, no response. on line 70: in_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, bool given
woah! really? that was 16minutes ago.
https://gyazo.com/e52b994b70249f09502c044d38296945.pngAre we at this kind of levels now? LOL
NO, that’s not correct. Check YOUR SUPPORT system. I opened the ticket two days ago. I only posted on Envato after no response on your system
The one you showed is the SECOND time. ANYWAY, what’s the solution to my issue? Thanks
ahhh yes I see now. You opened a topic before that one. However that had to replies already from other admins like you and the first reply after 2.06 hours after you posted. Did you check your previous topic? The reply is the same with the solution. If I missed anything else or still need help post a new topic or send me an email directly. I’ll be happy to help as usual. Cheers!
How do I change the BACKGROUND Image for the ABOUT US Section? How do I remove the Feed from your site at the Bottom, I mean the Feed that is displaying Posts from your site at the bottom? How and where do I remove the feed?
Hey YS,
so if you open a new topic on the support forum for each questions you have, that would be the preferred way to get support. it’s very hard here in comments as the formatting is also limiting…
Also as a first thing, check out the theme documentation. I know, I hear you, its always a pain to read the docs, posts etc. But it helps you navigate the software correctly and you also learn more about its functions.
Having said this, please make new support topic and I’ll answer you right away
Please and thank-you!
I have posted in the Support Forum. Thanks
Hello, After download and installing with phpbb3.4. But when i activate the customization extension i get an array error from the page. What can be the issue?
Hi, just checking here, we addressed this on the support forum right? 
Great Work, Congratulations 
I got everything installed. Now I see i need to install this css thingy to edit files. Don’t know where it goes.
Hi , Sorry I just saw this! Can you register on sitesplat.com please? that’s the dedicated clients forum. I can provide you better and proper support from there. You’ll need the purchase code from the theme license in order to register.
let me know once done, the username so that I can help you asap! 
I’m there. User name Issac Bourne
Awesome! Replied from there. Cheers!
I’m the 500th comment

Congrats! and thank-you so much for purchasing!
