Hi

I am running Drupal 6 and playing around with a variety of themes. However the theme I most want to use isn't displaying the block title in my custom blocks, although the code in the block template file is fine. I can find a number of threads ( going back to Drupal 4.7 ) relating to this issue occuring when changing themes, but the problem doesn't appear to have been fixed and no-one has yet suggested a work-around.

Anyone got any suggestions or pointers ?

Thanks

Dave

This can be found elsewhere in the forum, but might be interesting for people that are looking for an answer and land here.

I had made a Zen subtheme for my own site (www.filipvaneenaeme.be), and wanted to make a sub subtheme for this in another color.
After duplicating my own subtheme to create a sub-subtheme, I checked how this looked and all my blocktitles were gone (except those that were generated by views, they still used the views title).
Obviously this could not have something to do with any css or other files since I hadn't changed anything yet.

Apparently, the problem is due to tables not being created in the database. (Or something like that.)
To fix this, go to the blocks-section of your admin pages, click the edit button of the block, and then save again. (You don't have to actually change anything.)
Do this for every block, and your titels will reappear.

I read elsewhere that deactivating and reactivating the block does the same, but this didn't work for me.
