I’ve had Drupal installed for a couple months now and besides installing a few modules, I have not made any changes. I’ve been sticking with the standard theme but the wife is threatening serious consequences if it does not change. So I’ve spent some time looking at different themes and decided to try a couple.
http://drupal.org/project/bluebreeze
http://drupal.org/project/golden_hour
After reading through the guides on themes and browsing the forums I copied the two themes to the themes folder, enabled them in the themes section of Drupal and set bluebreeze as the default. While logged in as an admin everything looked fine. Once I tried to access the main site all I received was a blank page. Curious about this I fired up a different browser and received the same result. I went through the same process for golden hour and received the same result.
Next I tried another theme, adc http://drupal.org/project/adc, and things worked without incident.
So the big question is, what am I doing wrong? I am using version Drupal version 4.7.4
Any help would be appreciated.

I was just playing with the
I was just playing with the theme switcher.module and picked up on this when switching themes, or allowing more than one theme. Whatever theme is set as default, is the theme that an anon user is going to get.
Thus, if The default theme is bluemarine, and you install and enable blue breeze, blue marine will show until a user logs in, once a user logs out, blue marine becomes the default theme again. If you want bluebreeze to be seen even for anon (logged out) users insure you set bluebreeze as teh default site template.
Follow-up
Switch theme is not an installed module. When I do get the blank white page, firefox shows no html when I view source and ie shows
removed opening and closing of tags so it would display.
DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"
HTML HEAD
META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=utf-8 /HEAD
BODY /BODY /HTML
which I am not sure is beign generated by drupal. the drupal logs show no reference to someone trying to access the site.
I have tried some other themes and the same problem continues to come up. I see no settings that would cause this type of problem and do not think it is drupal permissions as it happens to both anon users and the admin account.
Any other takers?
Try increasing your PHP
Try increasing your PHP memory to see if it helps.

Since Yahoo is my hosting company I am not able to adjust memory settings. I did howerver stip drupal down to nothing module wise and received the same error.
What works
- Admin
- Gallery 2
- login
What does not work
- Home page
- Video page
- About page
I can have two windows open, one ie and one ff, and select a different theme in ff and then go to ie hit refresh and receive the blank page.
I would consider adc to be a simple theme and the other a bit more complex but I'm not sure that plays into things as gallery 2 works. You would think gallery 2 and drupal with a more complex theme would not work if it was a memory issue.
have you tried truncuating
have you tried truncuating the cache table ? (reaching at straws here)
if G2 is disabled is the problem still there ? (trying to narrow down)
Update
Sadly, neither of those resolved the issue. It just seems odd that some themes would work and other would not. And then why some pages will show with a given them and others will not. Truly confused.
Anyone else have any thoughts?
Thanks!
when setting the theme you
when setting the theme you havent mentioned whether you are setting the theme as the default theme or not. I cannot replicate your problem on a new installation or on an old installtion.
Default
I have been setting the theme as the default theme. I'm almost thinking this is going to be one of those hard to replicate problems that does not really have an answer. I've done a good amount of looking and have not seen anyone mention the problem I am having. Guess it just comes down to finding a theme that will work.
Thanks!
