NodeBB broken after installing a theme!

[So Confused]

I just ran nmp install nodebb-theme-tron and activated the theme, now my board is not functional.

The admin panel's pages are deleted.

I ran npm uninstall nodebb-theme-tron and uninstalled it, but my board is still messed up.

Edit: Now my whole site says "Error: ENOENT, open '/root/nodebb/public/templates/header.tpl'"

Edit 2: tried to reset the site, now it is down. Can't connect.

Please help

@So-Confused theme's are pretty easy to just revert back to the original setup..

You can even completely remove both vanilla and lavender and then npm install nodebb-theme-* again at the git prompt

look for the git command to re-pull / fetch the entire branch again if you fear you have messed up core templates

I already tried to uninstall and now my site won't even load.

Whats the command? I tried git clone https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB.git but it didnt change anything.

I get no errors when I run ./nodebb start

Try running ./nodebb dev it should show any errors.

The command to reset theme back to vanilla is ./nodebb reset theme

I think the Tron theme is not compatible with the latest version of NodeBB.

Ok thanks guys, I got it working.

Now, why can't I install vanilla theme? I want to install pewter but I get this every time:

@So-Confused I believe Pewter is incomptible with the newest versions of NodeBB, though. @psychobunny would have a better idea about that one

[a_5mith]

Yeah its not compatible. I don't even think the theme was finished for the version it was built for.

I had better success with ./nodebb reset -t

[pichalite]

@henrywright that's because the commands changed recently.

./nodebb reset theme was valid at the time
