Title: Unable to load the 'main_above' template.
Post by: MarkArka on October 14, 2016, 07:56:02 AM
I failed at upgrading my forum from v1 to v2  :(

So I decided to roll back. I made a backup of the forum folder files before attempting the upgrade.
I replaced the files.

Now when I browse to the forum I get a white page with this message;

QuoteUnable to load the 'main_above' template.

:o

partially solved.

I changed the

theme_info URL:    

theme_info Images URL:    

theme_info Directory:

to Havasu116 and I can now see my forum again... however it is slightly borked

Can anyone advise on the repair_settings errors in the screenshot

I'm about to give up on this as the forum is borked. The is no admin log in and looking at any thread brings up the above error.

Is it possible to reinstall v1.1.21 and load my backed up database into a new install?
