I ran into a problem where there's 2 quick theme plugins;

1 by Aaron (made it compatible with 1.6):
http://mods.mybb.com/view/quick-theme-designed-for-14

and then 1 by another user:
http://mods.mybb.com/view/quick-theme-changer

with the exact same file name (quicktheme.php)

I initially installed this quick theme plugin:
http://mods.mybb.com/view/quick-theme-changer


and it wasn't working properly so I overwrote the plugin file in /inc with the 1 Aaron made before deactivating the old quick theme plugin. How do I make sure any changes made by the original plugin are completely gone? I cannot get any of the quick theme plugins to work now. =(

with the 1 Aaron made, if you go to change a theme, it adds this to the end of the site url: ?action=quicktheme

but doesn't change anything.

Every plugin has its own functions to deactivate/uninstall and when you overwrote the old plugin with Aaron's without first deactivating the old one you will have left overs from the old plugin that Aaron's will not be able to remove.

To completely clean it out I suggest doing the following:
- Deactivate/Uninstall Aaron's plugin
- Remove it from the inc folder (and any other files you uploaded for it)
- Upload the old plugin
- Activate/Install the old plugin then deactivate/uninstall it. This will make sure its removed.
- Delete the files of the old plugin

You can now upload Aaron's plugin and activate/install and use it.

ok, hmn. did all that, but it's still not working. it adds ?action=quicktheme to the end of the url, but doesn't change the theme.

here's my site:

In that case, you'll have to ask the plugin author why its not working. I'm moving this to plugin support so it can get better support there.

figured out what was wrong.

this piece of code in my .htaccess file was screwing it up:

RewriteCond %{IS_SUBREQ} false
RewriteRule ^index.php$ http://www.paforliberty.com/forum [R=301,L]
