Can't go to preferences -> themes


Recommended Posts

Hello

 

I changed a theme setting and now I can't go to preferences -> themes.

The website also won't load. I can still go to every other option on the admin panel but only themes is unavailable.

I am having this issue as well.

 

Tried uploading a new theme. Went to 100%. Save

 

Went to main theme screen. No new theme to select.

 

Try uploading and saving again.

 

Now when I tried to go back to preferences -> themes, I just get a 500 internal server error after a long timeout.

 

All other tabs in BO and the front site still work perfectly.

 

Tried enable error reporting. Tried again. Same thing and no error report.

 

So I am officially now stuck.

Look with an ftp programm in your folder themes ,, is it there ?

if yes set the 777 rights to :

~/themes/your-theme/lang

~/themes/your-theme/pdf/lang/ 

~/themes/your-theme/cache

 

After clear your cache in your BO

go to :

ADVANCED PARAMETERS -->> PERFORMANCE

choose : Force compilation

Cache : off 

click on : Clear Cache

set the settings back and check if it works now

good ideas, but no dice.

 

I'm about ready to delete the whole thing and reinstall. This is kinda ridiculous that trying to upload a theme has locked me out of the theme section.

 

fwiw, the theme it said it uploaded does not have a folder or appear in the themes folder via ftp.

ok so it isnt there ,

probably not on the server but in your database

you can give one thing a try 

 

rename your .htaccess into   ----htaccess  (remove the dot and replace it with some stripes)

 

then upload a empty .htaccess 

go in your BO and check with ftp if he did regenerated the new htaccess if so check if it works now

if he didn't regenerate give the new htaccess 777 rights when regenarated give it back the 644 right

I did both this and logged out and logged back in and its now working.

 

One of the two did it. Maybe the logging back in as I fully deleted .htaccess and regenerated already previously.

 

Maddening.

 

Now to try and get this theme to install again.

you can unzip it on the server ,

and yes lot of themes say you can upload the zip via the BO

but my experience on some servers is to upload it manual

some servers give the folders then as GID : Apache and isnt writable 

 

i prefer to unzip it on the computer and upload it via ftp into the folder themes

then give the folders as i said abouve somewhere the rights

then go to your bo and select the theme 

 

Edit : if the unzipped files says themes - yourthemename

then upload only yourthemename and sub folders into the folder themes
