Change active theme via FTP or DB edit?

[BigMike]

Hello,

I screwed something up in my custom theme (nothing is loading) and I need to change active theme back to original classic theme. How can I do it via FTP or DB edit or any other way?

Thank you.

you can easily apply the classic theme again from backoffce  Design -> Theme & Logo tab

Hi,

I was no able to load admin as well.

This helped:

config/setting.inc.php

change

define('_THEME_NAME_', 'default');

no using only change this simple line its not possible to reinstall complete classic theme.

if you have files and database access then you are able to edit the database table "employee" and add your new user password.

Hi,

I didn't need to reinstall classic theme. I just needed to activate it. And activating debug mode helped as well.

Admin page didn't load at all - blank page, I didn't loose password.

I did solve it, but thanks anyway.

Doh,

EDIT:

I find out how to do this on PS1.7.

You have to do this from database. Search for ps_shop table then change theme_name value to the name of the theme you want to use (default is "classic").
