    Hi
    Madness ... I changed manager theme from MODxLight to MODx Green and now it won’t change back, not only back to Light but to any theme. Can anyone advise?
    Am using 0.9.6.3
    Thanks

      Try clearing your cache, logging out, then logging back in and clearing cache again.

        That changes the Login page but not the actual manager interface once logged back in - tried all theme variations and they did the same.
        Checked that all files are in place in: manager/media/style/MODxLight/images/misc - and that all seems ok
        odd

              Wierd one - cleared cache, all browser private data and rebooted browser, also tried in different browsers and still manager is not changing theme but login is. Checked directory permissions on the server and all relevant are 755 ...

              Did the theme change with a different site and all working as-per normal, it’s just this one site which is playing up.

              will be away from this box for a number of hours now but will check back, thanks for replies thus far

                The user settings will override the site settings, so see if the theme has been set at the user level. That’s my bet, especially if the login page has changed but, once logged in, the theme hasn’t.
