Because of a few mistakes I did on my part while upgrading MyBB (I totally did it the wrong way), I'm attempting to re-install and replace all of the files except for the settings.php and config.php files.
After doing so, I am un-able to remove the theme the old install I had and I'm unable to upload a theme as well. It has an error message. (Forgot what it was, did this a few weeks ago)
Why does the old theme stick with the new install? And why am I un-able to upload a theme to replace it?
Themes are saved in the database so a re-installing with fresh files and the same database will show the old theme.
Would help if you told us which error message you are getting, try upload a theme and provide us with the error.
Alright, had some time to do this:
Quote:Error: MyBB could not find the theme with the file you uploaded. Please check the file is the correct and is not corrupt.
After taking a look at the XML file, there were two problems:
Large block of code before <theme>
<div class="php_warning"><strong>Warning</strong> [2] Creating default object from empty value - Line: 349 - File: C:\Users\...\localhost\newforum\admin\index.php PHP 5.4.7 (WINNT)<br />

</tr>

</div><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<theme name="CraftBlock" version="1609">
And the theme does not export fully. Last line of theme file:
<div class="float_left">
<div class="float_left">
<dl class="thread_legend smalltext">
<dd><img src="{$theme['imgdir']}/newfolder.gif" alt="{$lang->new_thread}" title="{$lang->new_thread}" /> {$lang->n
MyBB 1.6.9 does not fully support PHP 5.4, therefore you can't export the theme properly.
Derp. And theres 1.6.10 to fix that. Thank you.
