After moving my site i seem to encounter the following error:
the website gets displayed, but no theme information is loaded. Once i visit the admin.theme page (which is in garland, and renders correct) everything is back to normal.

I'm guessing it's a database issue. Would a repair table suffice or is there anything else i can/should do?

Thanks in advance!

Can you give more details? what browser are you using?

Perhaps its this issue? #256802: IE limits Drupal to 31 stylesheets total

the issue is not browser or stylesheet related. Its a system related issue.
The system is not properly loading the themes (actually, not at all) untill the themes page in admin has been loaded.

Maybe i should have posted the issue in the drupal core issues?

untill the themes page in admin has been loaded.

which I believe refreshes the theme registry. I believe you could have went to adminsiter -> performace and cleared the cache as well.

unfortunately this has happened twice over the weekend.
my guess is that clearing cache will not be a durable solution to the problem?

This is what i got from watchdog today:

aggregator There is new syndicated content from %site. a:1:{s:5:"%site";s:11:"Latest News";}
page not found sites/all/themes/zen//css/images/tab-left.png

so my guess is that this issue is related to the aggregator module (which i turned off, since i do not use it anyways)
Can anyone redirect me to the right db table that handles the default theme?

Since the site has gone into production i'd very much like to get this issue fixed!
Thanks.

Definitely not related to Zen. And I have not clue what could cause such a thing.

I encountered a similar problem - moved site to a new server, and no themes would display.

I went to Admin->Site Configuration->Performance, disabled caching and CSS aggregation, and the themes suddenly appeared.

Once I'd done that, everything was working again and I could reenable caching and aggregation without any problems. I suspect that some cached files were out of step with the file system on the new server, and disabling caching cleared them. Oddly, I transferred several sites to the new server, but this problem only occurred on one of them.

Hi,
identical problem with me and Zen. Caching and aggregation recommendations didnt work for me :S
Has anyone found any kind of solution?

Thanks

Have you tried removing your Zen subtheme directory (/sites/all/themes/zen/YOURSUBTHEME) completely, clearing the caches again etc., and then restoring the subtheme?

I had actually... I spent 4-5 hours on this silly thing last night BUT I FOUND A SOLUTION!!!
I have moved Drupal sites (without upgrading) many times and it was always something very easy for me (unless I have been very lucky all the times :) )
I had tried all tricks people suggested and nothing worked.

Finally I found a way that solves the problem so that the css files of zen are read. I may sound like a total noob but it was kind of black magic.... :P

I was typing the path to the README.txt (themes/zen/README.txt) of the zen directory on my browser and I was getting a 404!!!
No need to mention about css access :) First thing you'll think is folder permissions of the zen dir but they were identical to all other theme folders where i.e. README.txt was accessible just fine!

Renaming the themes/zen folder to anything not including the "zen" string at the beginning fixed it... i.e. ze, ze1, bob, 123
Renaming to zen1, zenn, zen0 and so on gave again 404!!!!!!

I just couldnt believe it! Finally to avoid changing the name of the theme from the .info file and maybe some more places I didnt know from the top of my head in order to rename the directory I found that some people fixed it by renaming zen to Zen (uppercase) without changing/edit/rename any other files.

To sum up... after 4-5 hours pulling my hair with my mate on skype trying at the same time different approaches (.htaccess, mysql, js errors that were present...) a stupid rename from zen to Zen fixed every problem straight away.

Hope this will help some poor fellow drupalers :)

I have just moved my site over from an existing site to godaddy and now it seems that my theme isnt loading. Can someone please help me? My site is just loading text all on the same page (needing to scroll if you select a menu option). No images appear. I copied everything over from the original host which works fine.

no need to move the issue. You also don't provide enough information to aid. My suggestion is to generate a forum thread and be specific about version of Drupal in use and theme in use.

Issue summary: View changes

Many, many thanks to lostcarpark (#7) above. I have been moving/copying my site to set up a git-based version control system, and, as I do so, frequently lose all themeing. Unchecking the "Cache pages for anonymous users" and "Cache Blocks" boxes and then saving the configuration immediately restores my themes. And, after this is done, I can re-check these boxes and everything still works.

I would be interested in understanding what is happening, but do not have time to investigate now.
