Flush and config change doesn't work
7 September 2010 at 7:23am
Greetings from a fellow Kiwi currently in the United States!
I have just downloaded the latest version of SilverStripe (ver 2.4.1) and installed on my hosting account with Surpass Hosting. The installation seemed to go well and the site appears to be working. However, when I changed themes I started having issues. I initially installed with the Black Candy theme, and followed the instructions and changed the _config.php file so it reads as follows:
// This line set's the current theme. More themes can be
// downloaded from http://www.silverstripe.org/themes/
SSViewer::set_theme('natureweb4');No matter what I do however, all I can see is the Black Candy theme. I tried the <url>?flush=1 address, and I checked it in a different browser. It's still Black Candy however. Now I am wondering if there is something with my web hosting company that may be causing this (something not writeable perhaps?) Perhaps I missed an error when installing although I don't recall one.
Is there something I should check that may be causing this inability to update the theme? I have previously used Joomla, Wordpress, Invision, phpbb, SMF and a host of other packages and never had an issue so I think it may be something relatively minor .... I just can't work out what it may be.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Try ?flush=all
You could also try to create a folder silverstripe-cache in siteroot so Silverstripe will use that folder for the cache files.
Also make sure you don't have set a template in SiteConfig.
Hope this helps.

If you use SS 2.4, change theme from admin panel: yoursite.com/admin

Just noticed this topic - I should have looked a but bit more before posting (see 'Themes not working' post) - but I am also having the same problem.
Regardless of what theme I download, or the amount of times I save the theme selection option in the admin area, I don't get any change of theme - just the basic text and some sort of default .ss file presumably used when all else fails!
If I use the default (blackcandy) theme it works, but no downloaded theme does. Its such a simple thing, buts its really annoying.
