Changed Theme, Site is Now Inaccessible
Permalink
I wanted to try a different theme than the default Elemental theme, I installed Fruitful (http://www.concrete5.org/marketplace/themes/fruitful) and activated in my Dashboard. Now the entire site is inaccessible. I'm either getting a blank page or this error:
How do reactivate Elemental when the entire site is inaccessible?

This appears to be a PHP error, check your PHP Error Logs to see what the error is and go from there.
Thanks for the reply hutman.
I would like to simply restore the Elemental theme without having to troubleshoot a php issue with Fruitful. Is that possible or has the Fruitful theme completely hosed the site?
I can provide php info if someone can tell me what is needed and how to obtain the information. I am not skilled in php at all.

I recovered Elemental, thank goodness.
This is how I did it - the login page was visible so I logged in, after the page went blank white I used used the browser's back button to return to the login page. Since I really was already logged in I now had access to the Dashboard on the right hand side of the screen. I clicked on Pages & Themes and reactivated Elemental.
Forgive my ignorance here but I was under the impression that Concrete allowed for switching between themes. Did I misunderstand? I'm basically learning how to work with Concrete so I can upgrade a handful of client sites onto it but this has definitely shaken my confidence. Are paid themes better than free? If a theme is installed and pages are added to it is it then not recommended to change themes?
Thanks for the replies, I appreciate the feedback!
