Title: Problem when switching hosts.
Post by: TwitchisMental on January 17, 2011, 12:39:26 PM
Okay I have been trying to switch my board to a new host.


I finally figured out how get it to atleast show up now.


However the themes is not showing correctly,everything is misplaced,and I am getting a error saying the default theme directory is not right.


I am not sure what else to tell you,but any help would be great.

in the admin panel -> themes and layout -> theme settings press the attempt to reset all themes button on the bottom of the page. the repair_settings.php file only attempts to fix for the default theme.

Is there a way to do this from the cp,because I have a problem with a mod(pretty url) causing me not able to get to the admincp.

Did you scan further down with that and click all the path options towards the bottom? That would get you pretty dang close to what you need.

I just now notice this. It has fixed part of my problem. I now just have a problem with pretty urls,which can be fixed if I remembered the default admin location.




Edit: I fixed my problem,I just ran the upgrade.php script and used the wap/archive version to navigate to setting the default theme. After going back to the default theme everything was fixed :D.

index.php?action=admin

And for your previous question...yes you can change the theme paths in PHPMyAdmin.
Search for the table smf_themes (or the smf part can be something else) and edit it.
