Title: Theme issue.
Post by: Tabbee on September 27, 2008, 01:07:11 PM
Hey guys .. Im getting this message on my site [im new at all this stuff] I was wondering if you all could point me in the right direction as to how to fix it

Right when I log on it says at the top of the site "The default theme directory is wrong, please correct it by clicking this text"

How do I fix this issue?

Have you recently moved your forum to another directory on your server or something?

Please use the Modify option in this forum, it just makes the people think its spam.

maybe repair_settings.php (or whatever it's called). Just guessing.

May I see your site, btw?

What about replacing your index.php whit the standard one that you get when downloading SMF?
But backup the current one first, we don't want more problems now.

the chmod for index.php wasnt 777. hence it wasnt recognizing it. Then i went via repair_settings.php and it wouldnt let me fix the errors. So i went to settings.php and made it 777, fixed the paths via repair_settings.php and then it was all done. ;)
