Have you tried accessing the admin area directly?

Have you tried just deleting the theme folder that's causing trouble?

I have the same issue.

I have tried the direct path as well as deleting the theme folder.

Could it be the cookie path, something we set in the preferences or the fact that the Admin is the only member there is at this point?

User your database toolset (phpMyAdmin, maybe) to run the following mySQL command:

UPDATE 'xoops_config'
SET conf_value='oldthemename'
WHERE conf_name='theme_set';

oldthemename is the name (aka directory) of your old theme. And if you use a different 'prefix' than 'xoops' for your tables, then you should use 'prefix_config' for the table name.

This will get you back up and running. Then, to test out new themes, enable the theme chooser block in the blocks administrator for admins only and in the preferences, set it so you can change the themes amongst those you want, but leave the current good one default. Then you can test it out that way (and use two different browsers, maybe). Also, if the theme doesn't work, backing up a page using the browser navigation puts you back to the original theme.

Hope that helps.

if you have an issue with a new theme there is an easy way:
change the theme/default folder to the name of theme folder that cause blank page.
eg: NEW_THEME has an issue, then you change "default" theme name to "NEW_THEME"
