    • Help: Unable to change theme

    Posted by BobA

    Hi,

    When I go to the Look & Feel page, select the Theme tab, choose a new theme and click 'Go', it loads a thumbnail of the theme I selected. Then, when I click 'Apply', I get an error message that says "The "users can change theme" feature will override the theme displayed." and the theme does not change.

    I have "Users can change theme" unchecked, though I've also tried checking it. Can anyone tell me what's going wrong? I'm currently using the darkroom theme, so I was able to successfully change themes before.

    Thank you,
    Bob

    Did you make any changes at your site since when you could successfully change themes, such as upgrading the installation?

    It's normal to get the message that users' theme choice will override the default site theme, though I haven't seen this appear as an error message. Is that how it displays to you, as "Error: ..."?

    Did you try clearing the Tiki cache and your browser cache after making the theme change? If you have a theme selected as your own choice (set in user preference or with the switch-theme module), it would override the default site theme, so be sure to select "site default", or else to log out, to see what the site default theme is, without interference by your logged-in user choice.

    Hi Gary,

    Thank you. It looks like it might've been a cache thing. After I posted the question, I went to bed for the night. This morning, I tried it again and it worked. I guess the computer and I just had to sleep on it for a bit.
