Visitors open it to check the time, watch the countdown and click the join button. A meeting theme decides how that page looks. A class, a webinar and a one-to-one call each need a different kind of page. Here you pick a site default theme, preview it on a real meeting and save it. Every meeting page then uses that theme, unless a meeting picks its own. By the end of this guide, you will have: - A site default theme for every meeting page - A preview of that theme on your latest meeting - The new theme saved and live for your visitors - A clear picture of all fourteen themes, on desktop and on a phone - A way to go back to Classic at any time **Estimated setup time:** 3 minutes. Changing the theme never changes your meetings, Meet links or Google Calendar events. ## Before you begin Make sure you have: - GoodMeet installed and activated - An administrator account on the site - At least one published meeting, so you can preview the theme - GoodMeet Pro activated, if you want one of the 12 Pro themes Let's get started. ## Step 1: Open GoodMeet settings Meeting themes are a site-wide setting, so they live in GoodMeet settings rather than in a single meeting. 1. In the WordPress admin menu, go to **GoodMeet**. 2. Click **Settings**. [![WordPress admin menu with GoodMeet open and Settings highlighted](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/goodmeet-meeting-themes-01-open-goodmeet-settings.webp)](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/goodmeet-meeting-themes-01-open-goodmeet-settings.webp) Settings sits under GoodMeet, right below All Meetings. ## Step 2: Open the Meeting themes tab The theme and the style settings share one tab, so you can change the layout and the colours in one visit. 1. In the settings menu on the left, find the **Appearance** group. 2. Click **Meeting themes**. [![Settings screen with Meeting themes selected under Appearance](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/goodmeet-meeting-themes-02-open-meeting-themes.webp)](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/goodmeet-meeting-themes-02-open-meeting-themes.webp) The Meeting themes tab reads "Pick a theme for meeting pages, then set its colour and layout." The tab shows the **Theme** group at the top and the **Style** group below it. ## Step 3: Browse the theme gallery Each card in the **Theme** group shows a preview, the theme name and a short description of what the theme is built for. 1. Scroll through the **Theme** group and read the card descriptions. 2. Find the card with the filled blue circle. That is your current site default. On a new site, it is **Classic**. [![Theme gallery with 14 theme cards, Classic selected](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/goodmeet-meeting-themes-03-theme-gallery.webp)](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/goodmeet-meeting-themes-03-theme-gallery.webp) The gallery lists every theme on your site. Classic and Paper come with GoodMeet, and the rest come with GoodMeet Pro. **Note:** Cover, Studio, Cadence, Guestlist, Admit, Lobby, Lesson, Keynote, Consult, Aurora, Journal and Encore require GoodMeet Pro. Without Pro, the gallery shows Classic and Paper only. ## Step 4: Select a theme Selecting a card only marks your choice. Nothing changes on your site until you save. 1. Click the card of the theme you want, for example **Aurora**. 2. Check that the card now has a blue border and a filled circle. [![Aurora theme card selected in the gallery](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/goodmeet-meeting-themes-04-select-theme.webp)](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/goodmeet-meeting-themes-04-select-theme.webp) The selected card gets a blue border and a filled circle. A bar appears at the bottom of the screen with **You have unsaved changes**. ## Step 5: Preview the theme on a real meeting A preview shows the theme with your own meeting content, which tells you more than the small card does. 1. Click **Preview on latest meeting** at the top right of the **Theme** group. 2. Your most recent published meeting opens in a new browser tab, drawn with the selected theme. 3. Check the page, then close the tab and come back to settings. [![Preview on latest meeting button highlighted](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/goodmeet-meeting-themes-05-preview-on-latest-meeting.webp)](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/goodmeet-meeting-themes-05-preview-on-latest-meeting.webp) The preview uses the theme you selected, even before you save. **Note:** The preview shows the selected theme only. Brand colour and other style changes apply after saving. Only administrators can open the preview. ## Step 6: Save your choice Saving makes the theme live on every meeting page that follows the site default. 1. Click **Save changes** in the bar at the bottom of the screen. 2. Wait for the confirmation message, **Appearance saved.** [![Unsaved changes bar with Discard and Save changes, Save changes highlighted](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/goodmeet-meeting-themes-06-save-changes.webp)](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/goodmeet-meeting-themes-06-save-changes.webp) The bar stays visible until you save or discard. To undo your selection instead, click **Discard**. The gallery goes back to the theme you saved last. **Tip:** A single meeting can use a different theme from the site default. See [How to use a different theme for one meeting](#use-a-different-theme-for-one-meeting). ## What visitors see Open any meeting page in a private browser window. It now uses the theme you saved. Each shot below shows a meeting written for that theme. Pick the one that fits the meetings you run most often. ### Free themes #### Classic Best for any meeting, with content on the left and the time and details in a sidebar. [![Weekly Team Sync meeting page with the Classic theme](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/goodmeet-meeting-themes-theme-classic-hero.webp)](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/goodmeet-meeting-themes-theme-classic-hero.webp) Classic shows the thumbnail and agenda first, with the time and details in the sidebar. #### Paper Best for clean, bright pages with the thumbnail and host beside the join card.

[![Daily Standup meeting page with the Cadence theme](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/goodmeet-meeting-themes-theme-cadence-hero.webp)](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/goodmeet-meeting-themes-theme-cadence-hero.webp) Cadence shows the next session first, with its countdown and the repeat rule. #### Guestlist Best for webinars and sessions that need registration.

[![Advanced Analytics Masterclass meeting page with the Admit theme](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/goodmeet-meeting-themes-theme-admit-hero.webp)](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/goodmeet-meeting-themes-theme-admit-hero.webp) Admit draws the meeting as an admission ticket, with the price, countdown and buy button on the stub. #### Lobby Best for all-hands meetings and town halls where people wait for the start.

The join button and the countdown stay near the top. | Classic | Paper | Cover | | --- | --- | --- | | ![Classic theme on a phone](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/goodmeet-meeting-themes-theme-classic-phone.webp) | ![Paper theme on a phone](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/goodmeet-meeting-themes-theme-paper-phone.webp) | ![Cover theme on a phone](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/goodmeet-meeting-themes-theme-cover-phone.webp) | | Studio | Cadence | Guestlist | | --- | --- | --- | | ![Studio theme on a phone](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/goodmeet-meeting-themes-theme-studio-phone.webp) | ![Cadence theme on a phone](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/goodmeet-meeting-themes-theme-cadence-phone.webp) | ![Guestlist theme on a phone](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/goodmeet-meeting-themes-theme-guestlist-phone.webp) | | Admit | Lobby | Lesson | | --- | --- | --- | | ![Admit theme on a phone, with the buy bar at the bottom](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/goodmeet-meeting-themes-theme-admit-phone.webp) | ![Lobby theme on a phone](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/goodmeet-meeting-themes-theme-lobby-phone.webp) | ![Lesson theme on a phone](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/goodmeet-meeting-themes-theme-lesson-phone.webp) | | Keynote | Consult | Aurora | | --- | --- | --- | | ![Keynote theme on a phone](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/goodmeet-meeting-themes-theme-keynote-phone.webp) | ![Consult theme on a phone](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/goodmeet-meeting-themes-theme-consult-phone.webp) | ![Aurora theme on a phone](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/goodmeet-meeting-themes-theme-aurora-phone.webp) | | Journal | Encore | | --- | --- | | ![Journal theme on a phone](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/goodmeet-meeting-themes-theme-journal-phone.webp) | ![Encore theme on a phone](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/goodmeet-meeting-themes-theme-encore-phone.webp) | **Tip:** On a phone, Admit adds a buy bar at the bottom of the screen, so the ticket button is always in reach. ## Use a different theme for one meeting The site theme keeps every meeting page consistent. Some meetings need their own look, though, such as a product launch or a one-to-one call. You can give a single meeting its own theme while every other meeting keeps the site default. 1. Go to **GoodMeet** > **All Meetings**, hover over the meeting and click the pencil icon, **Edit**. For a new meeting, click **Add new**. [![All Meetings list with the Edit icon highlighted on a meeting row](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/goodmeet-meeting-themes-07-one-meeting-01-edit-meeting.webp)](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/goodmeet-meeting-themes-07-one-meeting-01-edit-meeting.webp) The Edit icon opens the meeting in the same step-by-step form you used to create it. 1. In the steps on the left, click **Page design**. [![Edit Meeting screen with the Page design step highlighted](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/goodmeet-meeting-themes-07-one-meeting-02-open-page-design.webp)](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/goodmeet-meeting-themes-07-one-meeting-02-open-page-design.webp) Page design holds the theme, description, thumbnail and layout options for this meeting. 1. Click **Meeting theme**. The first option, **Site default (Classic)**, follows the theme you saved above. Pick any other theme, for example **Aurora**, to fix this meeting to it. [![Meeting theme list open with Site default first, then every theme](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/goodmeet-meeting-themes-07-one-meeting-04-theme-list-open.webp)](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/goodmeet-meeting-themes-07-one-meeting-04-theme-list-open.webp) Site default follows your settings. Every other option fixes this meeting to one theme. 1. Click **Update meeting**, or **Create meeting** for a new one. Saving also updates the Google Calendar event, so it can take a few seconds. [![Meeting theme set to Aurora with the Update meeting button highlighted](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/goodmeet-meeting-themes-07-one-meeting-06-update-meeting.webp)](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/goodmeet-meeting-themes-07-one-meeting-06-update-meeting.webp) Update meeting saves the theme together with the rest of the meeting. Open the meeting page in a private window to see it. The rest of your meetings still use the site default. [![Builders Night Meetup meeting page drawn with the Aurora theme](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/goodmeet-meeting-themes-07-one-meeting-07-result-aurora.webp)](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/goodmeet-meeting-themes-07-one-meeting-07-result-aurora.webp) Builders Night Meetup uses Aurora, while the rest of the site still uses Classic. Instructors who create meetings on the front end see the same **Meeting theme** field. Only administrators see the **Customize themes** link under it, because only they can open GoodMeet settings. [![Front-end Add New Meeting form with the Meeting theme field](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/goodmeet-meeting-themes-07-one-meeting-09-instructor-form.webp)](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/goodmeet-meeting-themes-07-one-meeting-09-instructor-form.webp) Instructors can pick any theme for their own meetings, but cannot change the site default. **Note:** A named theme always wins over the site default. A Pro theme falls back to the site default while GoodMeet Pro is inactive, and comes back when Pro is active again. To switch a meeting back, set **Meeting theme** to **Site default** and click **Update meeting**. ## Benefits of using GoodMeet meeting themes - **A layout per meeting type:** Classes, webinars, paid sessions, one-to-one calls and recordings each have a theme built for them. - **One place for the join button:** Every page follows the site default, so returning visitors find the button where they expect it. - **Preview on real content:** You see the theme on your latest meeting before anyone else does. - **Nothing breaks when you switch:** Meetings, Meet links and calendar events stay as they are. ## Troubleshooting ### I only see Classic and Paper in the gallery The other 12 themes come with GoodMeet Pro. Check that: - GoodMeet Pro is installed and activated under **Plugins**. - You reloaded the **Meeting themes** tab after activating Pro. ### A meeting page does not use the theme I saved That meeting has its own theme in its **Page design** step. A meeting's own choice wins over the site default. 1. Edit the meeting and open **Page design**. 2. Set **Meeting theme** to **Site default**. 3. Click **Update meeting**. ### The Preview on latest meeting button is missing The button needs at least one published meeting to preview on. Create and publish a meeting, then reload the **Meeting themes** tab. ### The preview does not show my new brand colour The preview applies the selected theme only. Style settings apply after saving. Click **Save changes**, then reload the meeting page. ### My theme looks different on one site Your WordPress theme can override any GoodMeet design with a file at `goodmeet/themes/.php`. Ask your developer whether your theme ships such an override file. ## Frequently asked questions ### Does changing the theme change my meetings or Google Calendar events? **No.** The theme only changes how the meeting page looks on your site. Meetings, Meet links and calendar events stay the same. ### Can each meeting use a different theme? **Yes.** Open the meeting, go to **Page design**, and pick a **Meeting theme**. See [How to use a different theme for one meeting](#use-a-different-theme-for-one-meeting). ### Can I change colours and button shapes too? **Yes.** Use the **Style** group on the same screen. See [How to customize the meeting page style](https://sovlix.com/docs/how-to-customize-the-meeting-page-style-in-goodmeet/). ### What happens to Pro themes if I deactivate GoodMeet Pro? Meeting pages that used a Pro theme fall back to Classic, the built-in default. Your saved choice comes back when you activate Pro again. ### Can visitors see the preview? **No.** The preview link works for administrators only. Visitors always see the saved theme. ## You're ready to choose a meeting theme Your meeting pages now share one saved theme. Visitors see the same layout on every meeting link. Next, give a single meeting its own theme, or set colours and layout for all of them. - [How to use a different theme for one meeting](#use-a-different-theme-for-one-meeting) - [How to customize the meeting page style](https://sovlix.com/docs/how-to-customize-the-meeting-page-style-in-goodmeet/) - [How to let instructors create meetings from the front end](https://sovlix.com/docs/how-to-let-instructors-create-meetings-from-the-front-end/)
