Themes problem! can't change default theme!

Posted by Alezzandro on November 10, 2005 at 5:49pm

Hi men..
I have a real problem..when I try to change my default theme Drupal(4.6.3) says me that saved all, but when I refresh the page the theme is the same and the default theme is always the original..
I use as theme 'pushbutton' and I can't change it..
Can you suggest me for example how to edit file permissions' file where Drupal store themes' settings?
Please help me!

thanks,
Alex

Hi Guys,

I had a similar problem a while back...and it was simple to solve..and it happened when I changed the password on my account, i.e. when Saving my account details, I also saved the default theme at that time with my account...so when I went to change the site-wide default theme...it was still picking up the theme saved on my account..

hopefully it's just that..to find out if it is follow these steps:

  1. go to MY ACCOUNT DETAILS
  2. Click on the EDIT tab
  3. Scroll down and have a look to see if a theme has been saved as the theme to use for your account

Hope that helps...I remember seeing a bug report on that for Drupal 4.6.4 but, I can't remember if a solution was comitted.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks for the suggestion. Although it didn't work for my case. I'm baffled as to what it could be. I've swapped files with ones of a known working version. I am on IIS, but that should make no difference. I have changed my php version back to 5.04 from 5.05. I've also deleted all the themes and then re uploaded them after they have been cleared out of the database.

Any other input with suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I don't have any other

I don't have any other suggestions for you except a friend on IIS and php5.0.4 can switch theme's fine.

Check that you have the xTemplate and phpTemplate theme engines.

As dumb as this sounds the issue was in the site file... When I setup the the configuration file I apparently uncommented the bottom of the page where it will define a default theme. Either comment it out or delete it and voila.

That worked for me under
