Hi there, loaded up a new theme, and erased the old one.the theme that is set for default isn't on my server anymore as well, now I can't get into the administration menu to change the settings. What can I do?

first of all: Welcome to the XOOPS Forum!

the most simple way is to look for a copy of the deleted theme and upload it to the theme - directory. I had just the same problem some weeks ago (and no copy at all). So I renamed the default theme (with the name of the deleted theme)and ... voila it worked.

good tip but the problem is that the default theme had some strange long name...which I can't remember completely anymore, already tried it that way as well...;-( so I really need to get into the admin menu..

hard lesson to learn.. don't delete themes or modules from the server if they are actually in use.

disable and uninstall them 1st.

goto phpmyadmin, look in the config table and change the value for default_theme to the default theme..

OK - so you have to g to your DB (I do it with PHPMyAdmin) look for config [{your prefix}_config] In the config data you will find: theme_set (or something like that)change the old theme-name with a new one f.e. "default".

DON´T FORGET A BACKUP BEFORE CHANGING THE DB

perhaps somebody may explain this solution with "better words"
