Installed bad Theme now can't get into site

Hi all,

I've been sampling a lot of themes for my 7.6 Raven install and they're working great...til I got to one, which broke my site. Whenever I try to get into anywhere in my site I get a blank white page.

Is there a way to "reset" a good theme to the site, maybe via phpMyadmin?

Thanks a bunch,
Oy.

hi, for the entire website you can edit the nuke_config table to change back the default theme.

Click on the Default_Theme column and change the theme there.
There is also a script on my site that does the same but better options.

Please bear with me, I'm a noob. I'm in phpMyAdmin at looking at the Default-Theme column...but for the life of me I can't find a way to change the theme.

Much, much appreciated,
Oy.

hi, click Browse then click on the pencil icon to edit the row.
Scroll down a little until you see Default_theme then remove the old theme name inside the form field and write exactly the name of a working theme then click Save.

For future, you can make a script that will fix it in the future.

copy the code listed here and name themefix.php. Upload to your root and run, it will reset your theme to a default for you.
