Theme deactivated
Permalink
We run multiple sites on a single core which caused some problems getting correctly indexed by Google.
Now we managed to get the sites indexed perfectly but some of our site have the problem that the theme keeps getting deactivated.
The only thing we changed from before signing them up to after signing them up is running the "installed jobs" under maintanance mode so we'd get a good sitemap.
in our logs I can find nothing special, just the following makes me think google is the cause:
66.249.65.187 - - [09/Aug/2010:09:55:21 +0200] "GET /index.php/dashboard/pages/themes/remove/77/1280751667:7238897c17e07f0a54aaf9e91ee77e98/ HTTP/1.1" 200 3220 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)"

Thanks. We'll start testing if that works.
If you go to Dashboard > Sitemap > Full Sitemap and check the box to show system pages, then expand the nodes until you see the Themes page, then click 'set permissions', what do you see? I'm seeing read, write and admin for administrators only.
I tried hovering over one of the remove theme buttons, making note of the url, then logging out and pasting the url in my browser. I get a 404 Not found. When I logged back in and pasted the same link. It de-activated the theme. That seems to indicate that the code is ok. A googlebot couldn't possibly be logged in -- could it? Wouldn't it have to be able to provide a cookie?

We checked that.
The dashboard (an everything below that) rights are only for Administrators and a specific group we created.

Can you post or attach your Environment string from Sitewide Settings > Debug ?
I'd change the password and add an .htaccess file to block google ip's accessing /dashboard.
That doesn't really fix the problem but the fact that google seems to be able to call /remove/77 is rather strange..
