Free php and cpanel scripts to automate your daily routine

Articles :: Determining the cPanel Theme / Skin


Webmasters are often looking for cPanel tools like cPanel Database Creator, or cPanel Subdomains Creator, to simplify or automate some things on cPanel webhostings.

Usually these tools require cPanel theme name, and will not work correctly if wrong cPanel theme is specified. Usually cPanel skin name would be "x", but yours may be different.

Try following steps if you do not know what your current cPanel theme is.
  • Login to your cPanel account
  • Look at the URL in your browser. It would look somewhat similar to http://www.hosting.com:2082/frontend/x/index.html
  • cPanel theme name is everything after the "/frontend/", and before the next slash "/". In above example cPanel theme is "x". It could be "x2", "rvblue", etc.

Some scripts and tools will not even ask you for a cPanel theme / skin. They use some hard coded theme name, which may differ from the one you have installed on your hosting server, and script will not work. In that case you may edit script's code. Its simple. Just find "/frontend/" string in the script and replace theme value with the correct one.
