Blesta supports both themes and templates. Themes in Blesta define a color scheme and logo, and can be created and selected under Settings > Company > Look and Feel > Themes. Third party templates can be uploaded to /app/views/client/ and then selected under Settings > Company > Look and Feel > Template. As of Blesta 5.8.0, it is possible to preview a theme and template prior to selecting it within the settings where it would go into effect for everyone.

Preview Client Theme

To preview a Client Theme, append ?bltheme=THEME_ID to the client facing URL. The THEME_ID is shown next to the theme under Settings > Company > Look and Feel > Themes, under the Client tab within the "ID" column.

Preview Client Template

To preview a Client Template, append ?bltemplate=TEMPLATE_NAME to the client facing URL. The TEMPLATE_NAME is the name of the template, which can be obtained by observing the directory name for the template under /app/views/client/TEMPLATE_NAME/ where TEMPLATE_NAME is the directory name.


Both the theme and template are stored in a session when accessed so that subsequent links do not need to contain the GET parameter. Clicking a link with a new bltheme or bltemplate value will update the session.
