Registrar cancelled domain, entire forum is now themeless

(1/2) > >>

jiffypop45:
I had registered a .tk domain name as a placeholder to have my site up and running while I searched for a good paid domain name registrar. However, I uploaded a theme that had copyrighted content that apparently they didn't like so they revoked my registration. Now whenever I look at my forum via browsing directly to the IP address it looks like the theme is completely removed.



I can navigate and use the site as I normally could it just looks like the theme is completely gone. Any idea what has happened here?

Your screen shot makes it look like the CSS has been removed. Mind providing a link to your site? I also don't quite get this part:

Can you elaborate as to which theme you uploaded?!?

After my domain was cancelled the paths were messed up so it couldn't find the files. Running the repair_settings.php file and resetting them back to the default fixed the issue.

It was for a World of Warcraft guild site I was setting up for some friends.

The theme in question was this one

http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=2430

OK, so does that mean that running the repair_settings file has you all fixed up?!?

It fixed that issue, however, I went ahead and registered a .com domain with a registrar but, if I try and change Forum URL to the new domain name (what I had done previously when I had the .tk domain) then it goes "themeless" again and even if I change the forum URL back to the IP address only by running the repair_settings.php file and changing the forum URL there to "hxxp:localhost [nonactive]" i.e. the folder in the wamp (xampp in this case) where the files are stored am I able to get my theme back. Also my domain is just setup as a dns for the ip address, however if I use the domain name even when it works with the IP address it still goes themeless.

Seems like another path issue but, I'm not exactly sure which path to change and to what.
