| o-> If you want to add or remove themes, or generally mess with the ''plugins/themes'' directory, you might have to delete the related stuff from the cache. Maybe there's an easier way, but I've been SSHing into my cache directory and removing (''rm -r theme/ theme-index.php'') ''theme-index.php'' and ''theme/''. //Some//times it'll prompt you to do a refresh in the UI, but often I'll just get an obnoxious error page and won't be able to get into the theme settings. |

| <del>My [[tildegit>rjt/vanilla-theme-fancy-gms|old theme]] doesn't work. It seems they've got much more complicated, so I'm currently experimenting to see how uncomplicated I can make one. I have no desire to fuck with //building// something as simple as a theme. Kinda wishing I'd given up on the old forum and switch to [[PHPBB]].</del>\\ Oh fuck, my old theme does work! It just need some fixing-up. I guess I didn't clear the cache properly before. |
