NodeBB won't start anymore after installing theme.

[MJ]

@PitaJ i reset the theme with ./nodebb reset -t so it should be okay, or not?

and if I need to test theme, can you explain please how I must do it sir?

[PitaJ]

@MJ do you have any themes besides persona installed? Try reinstalling persona, first, with npm remove nodebb-theme-persona and npm install nodebb-theme-persona. If that doesn't work, try deleting the node_modules directory and reinstalling everything with npm install.

If that doesn't work, try copying the contents of node_modules/nodebb-plugin-persona/theme.json into that JSON validator I linked and making sure it's all valid.

[MJ]

wait I did test the files, and one did this.

[PitaJ]

@MJ yep. That's invalid JSON. It's missing a comma after the highlighted line.

[MJ]

@PitaJ can I uninstall that theme, and how?

[PitaJ]

@MJ probably just npm remove nodebb-theme-hexadecimal

[MJ]

@PitaJ I go try now

[MJ]

@PitaJ
It worked sir

Check PM please

This is fixed in https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/5150

Like @PitaJ said, the theme doesn't work because that line misses a comma. Put a comma after that description line and the theme should work, assuming nothing else is broken.

Hi all, today I just installed a cloud version and I can't change files myself. Faced with the same problem. I've changed the theme back to Persona and now can open no frontend nigher backend. It forwards me to the nodebb website and shows this message:

How can I deal with it? Thanks
