[Sariи]

Hey all,

If i chagne the theme it changes, but still has the same error msg.........Please help me i am lost!!! Not sure if it matters or not. But i have 2 in the list......

It's usually best to start a new thread if the existing one by someone else doesn't help you and the thread is marked solved, as this one is.

The wizards tend to skip over the solved ones since there are so many open ones to help out on.

Topic split.

What is "restore default settings"? A link to your forum would help.

If that's your forum, have you thought about updating it?

Bug-fixes and all that...

Thanks for the tip Steve. I just didnt want to start another one cause there was one already there..........thanks matey. Ill try remember for next time...........

Updating's pretty easy.

If you go to Package Manager, you'll get notifications, with a "Click here to update" wotsit.

So, all you need to do, is... er... click there, to update.

Probably best to backup, first, though, coz you never know...

I only knew this because I did the exact same thing and had it explained to me.

Ok sweet =]

this is what i see.

You can go here and download the update packages:

http://custom.simplemachines.org/upgrades/

IMPORTANT! Do each one in order. Update to 2.0.5, then 2.0.6 etc. so you will need to download the top five in that list.

Sorry... I may have given you a bum steer, there.



On the main Admin page, there's a box, saying "Live from Simple Machines".

Look there. (Been a while since I did this)

[Kindred]

nope k@... you were actually right.

There should be text informing you that there is a patch ready AND a link to grab and install the next version patch in BOTH the main admin section AND the package manager section.

nope k@... you were actually right.

[margarett]

Use the maintenance routine to fetch files from sm.org (don't remember the exact wording)
Or do as Steve said

Thanks all for the help. Is there a help guide to installing upgrades?

Excellent. All updates completed. Still showing "The default theme's directory is wrong, please correct it by clicking this text." at the top of the forum page.........

[Illori]

admin -> themes and layout -> theme settings at the bottom of the page click attempt to reset all themes.

EDIT: To note, seems to be only when i am logged in, no one else......To further note, even when i change the theme, it changes and still shows me that message

I clicked it and this is what happend;



To fix it i changed this & removed /home/USERNAME;



I did notice this;
