Hello all,

I feel a bit embarrassed to ask this, but I appear to be stuck, and would appreciate a guiding finger.

I have installed Drupal 4.7.3 and cannot get it to show anything but the pushbutton theme. Other themes can be selected in the themes menu page, but if I click the default to another them and press save config, it just refreshes that page in pushbutton, resetting the 'default' radio button to pushbutton.

Much as I like that theme, I wouldn't mind trying another one! One thing I have had semi-success with is to change a new themename to pushbutton (but it is a quick fix and doesn't always work).

I have also added the 'files' folder to the root diretory and CHMODed it to 777.

Any ideas anyone, before I start crying?

I understand you have different themes (and they've actually different CSS files), you can see them in Administer>Themes and configure them but you can't get them to work. I don't have a ready solution as a *default* install of Drupal let me change themes without any problem but perhaps you want to take a look in settings.php to see if a value for 'theme_default' is set, that does override the menu setting.
Edit: if so, placing a # in front of that line would solve your problem, I guess.

You can hard set theme's in settigns.php. Not somethign often done but perhpas this time? Also, you can just remove the pushbutton theme directory and see what happens. On occassion I have found the switching themes and viewing in a different browser helps as sometimes FF wouldn't update the theme at all but IE would show the new one.

Thanks for the help folks!

I tried changing in IntExp to no avail (worth a try though), then read the settings.php comment. Looking over my setting.php, I remembers that I had uncommented a small array - not entirely sure why, just did, and there it was - my theme was locked at pushbutton!

I simply recommented the code.

Case solved!
