I think live editing with dreamweaver may have done me in. The site is project-shade.com/whitestorm . How do I make it look to /whitestorm as my root again?

I'd re-install the theme and NOT make it the sites default theme, make it your accounts theme. That way if it screws up, the site isn't down.

It sounds to me like you should dl the Nuke Tool Box from here:

You'll have to create a username/password in the ntbConfig file then upload everything to your server (as per the instructions).

Do not leave this file on your ftp once you've corrected the problem because your just begging to be hacked.

Hope this helps.

If you edit ANY Nuke files with Dreamweaver, expect adverse effects.

ALWAYS use a Text Editor to edit PHP files.

If you have a backup of the UNEDITED files, replace them.

I've never had any problems editing php code in Dreamweaver. Are you sure your not confusing editing .tpl files in Dreamweaver?

soulshade, the best practice you can get into is ensuring you have two copies of whatever theme your using on your local machine. One copy you edit, the other is the backup. If you run into troubles you can always replace the edited file with the original.

The other thing is to only make one change at a time, upload it, refresh your page and see how the change worked. Making multiple changes then uploading to your site is suicide. In this way you can always hit Ctrl Z and back up to restore the file to how it was before your changes.

I think coldblooded may have already mentioned this but I'll re-iterate, do not, ever, ever, make the theme being edited the site default. It's best to leave the site default at a theme that you are not editing and to select the theme being modified in your account only. This way you can override all users theme preferences in the admin panel.

Thanks for all the advise. I'm going to try the nuke tool tomorrow. I had company over all day today and didn't really get a chance to work on it. I swear I checked after the last edit though and everything was fine. From now on I'm using notepad though.

That's the error I got when I ran the fixtheme.php . There is indeed a revanant in the database, along with another nickname I tried.

Duke is indeed the man, the site is up and running again.

I appreciate your kind words but all I did was change the cofig in your database, upload a default, working, phpnuke theme and re-upload some fresh phpnuke 7.5 files.

I'm not sure that is what fixed the problem to be perfectly honest but I'm sure it couldn't have hurted.
