I tried downloading the Bootstrap theme that I found in the Liferay Marketplace, but when I go to activate it in the plugin manager, it says “Not Compatible” and won't let me use it. Indeed, in the Marketplace it shows it as being a 6.1.1 theme.

Have you guys (i.e. Liferay guys) been able to port this so it will work on 6.2? If so, could you please go ahead and post it in the Marketplace?

Thanks!

Hi Phil,

If you are referring to this theme: https://www.liferay.com/marketplace/-/mp/application/25164094

This is theme done by one of the Liferay Community members (in this case an employee of Dunn Solutions) and not a Liferay employee or Liferay, Inc. Therefore you must contact that developer for support of this plugin.

That all said, Liferay 6.2 comes OOTB with Twitter Bootstrap integrated. If you want more info on what exactly, please read this blog post by our Director of UI Engineering: https://www.liferay.com/web/nathan.cavanaugh/blog/-/blogs/the-nitty-gritty-theme-improvements-and-bootstrap-in-liferay-6-6. He also answers comments to that blog post.

Thanks, I'll try contacting them.

<<That all said, Liferay 6.2 comes OOTB with Twitter Bootstrap integrated.>>

I'm new to Liferay so I don't know a lot about how Liferay and Bootstrap interact. I'm just looking for a theme that looks like OOTB Bootstrap. I don't see a theme like this in Liferay 6.2. Is it hidden somewhere? How can I configure Liferay to look like OOTB Bootstrap?

The blog post mentioned above may answer your question(s). I highly recommend taking a good read, especially the section "How do I use my Bootstrap theme?". There is some learning curve to knowing how to create a Liferay Theme, so I recommend:
