Themes Not Working

formigoformigo New
edited March 2013 in Vanilla 2.0 - 2.8

Hi, I was just wondering whether anyone could help - I don't seem to be able to get any theme to work apart from the standard 'Vanilla' one? Even the 'Embed Friendly' and 'mobile' themes don't work. I get the error "Bonk Something funky happened. Please bear with us while we iron out the kinks." Every time I try enabling one??

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Andy

    Do a search on here for 'Bonk' and take the steps needed to get a detailed error report.

    If the report doesn't show you how to fix it, post the details here and someone will help you.

    After when i am created needed folders in my site everything was working.

    I have the exact same answer:

    Yes I searched for "bonk"... But cannot see anything relevant.

    With detailed error report I wasn't sure what you meant. I tried debugger in plugins, but I still only get the "bonk" message.

    as said before - after you get the error report instead of bonk, post your error and we'll help you find the relevant issue.

    probably this to resolve your error if similar:

    @gstar

    Bonk is a 'user friendly' page.

    You can set Vanilla to show a detailed error message instead.

    How to set that has been asked and answered dozens of times on here.
