I'm experimenting with Panels Everywhere for the first time. I enabled it, told it to override blocks, provide a sample template, and override admin theme.

Then I tried to disable the sample variant and instead use the variant I was working on. I wasn't done working on my variant though and it only contained one mini panel and no Page Content. Now, no matter what page I go to on the site, I only get this one mini panel. Sadly, that makes sense to me now...it's doing exactly what I told it to do, but it totally prevents me from accessing any site content.

By dumb luck I had the modules page open on another PC and was able to disable PE. Of course, whenever I reenable PE I go back to my lone mini-panel purgatory. I really want to use this module... How do I undo my newbie settings?

Ben.

Try this:

  1. Delete the 'panels_everywhere_site_template_enabled' variable from the database {variable} table or via Drush: drush vdel -y panels_everywhere_site_template_enabled
  2. Load up the Panels Everywhere settings page (admin/structure/panels/settings/everywhere).
  3. Limit PE to only the theme used for visitors, do not enable it for the site's admin theme.
  4. Save the settings.

That should at least let you get back into the Page Manager admin to add the Content pane.

I've added some extra documentation with steps for fixing the problem should it occur.
