Style change problem after upgrading s9y

Post by darehanl »

I forgot to execute a chmod sometime during the upgrade, and the 'change styles' action isn't working anymore! I recall seeing and error message about some file called layout** not being writable.

Anyway, I can't chang the style, but everything else works great. For another blog that I upgraded the upgrade process went successfully and I am able to change the 'style' in that other blog.

Another thing that's bugging me is that I have a LOT more files in the upgrade that failed me. I think the deprecated files have not been deleted.

Code: Select all

Sorry about the careless update:-(

PS: Since I've migrated (well, mostly) to 0.8, I'll finish up the Korean translation.

-- edit: I've just noticed: Is the admin page supposed to use the default style in all cases?

First thing, delete the deprecated files. Make sure to delete the 'layout.php' in the default templates directory!

And yes, the admin backend is supposed to look similar on all themes. Currently there is only one backend template available for s9y :)

If then your page still doesn't work, please post the URL to your blog and I'll try to look at it.

Regards,
Garvin
