I inadvertently moved the block for the main content to an area of the page that isn't available and now I can do absolutely nothing since I can't see anything other than the page title when I am logged in. If I am not logged in I can see the page.

Other than hacking the MySQL database what are my options?

Help!

I'm not sure I fully understand the problem but, can you access admin pages?

If so, can you switch to a default theme theme? Block regions are designated for particular themes.

If you have a separate theme for admin theme, like a core theme, you should be able access admin/build/block for the affected theme and move the block without triggering the problem.

Unfortunately not. The admin pages have the same problem.

I changed my theme to another one and was then able to see the contents. And move the block back into a visible area. I don't really understand why it didn't let me see it. I was using the Mix-and-Match theme and had moved the main page content to the node bottom area.

Hi,

how did you correct it in db? I have the same issue. By any reason my block module was disabled so I couldn't even start my site (http 500 error). Then based on the web server error log I noticed that the block module was disabled :(
When I corrected it directly in db I see just a page title and nothing more. Even I can't log in anymore.

I use Pixture Reloaded theme.

Thanks in advance for your help.

My recollection is that I removed the theme from the "users" table for the record with uid=1. In my case that showed the mix-and-match theme. Check it and see what theme it has there. If you want to restore to the default just delete the content of the theme column for that row.
