Theme problem - site down  Bottom

  • When I got up this morning, my site was no longer working. I just get a white screen with this error:

    Fatal error: call to undefined function: themeheader() in /home/mydir/public_html/header.php on line 141

    I am sure most of you reading this are already thinking "Here's another ass that didn't read the sticky posts!!!" but that's not the case. I had this identical error a few weeks back when trying out different themes so I came to this forum and saw the sticky post. I realized I was trying to use autothemes without autothemes installed, so I installed AutoTheme and everything worked fine. When I got the error today I tried the several different methods of changing the themes back to the default via my browser but I still got nothing.

    So, I downloaded the Postnuke Swiss Army Knife and tried to do a theme reset. Here is the wierd thing: All the options in the drop down list are "Array". I tried selecting one anyway and now on the theme reset page it says "The site's default theme is currently set to: Array" and all the available options are still "Array".

    I tried a lot of different themes when I first started so I thought maybe there was a problem with one of the names. I deleted all theme directories except for a few and now these are the only items in my themes directory: AutoTheme, ExtraLite, G-Silver, PostNuke, index.html, pnDefault. But, I still have the same problem where they all show up as "Array" on the PSAK theme reset page.

    Sorry if this problem has already been answered 500 times, but I am confused as to what could have happened considering I didn't make any changes at all that might have caused this. I am starting to worry that maybe I had some sort of security issue and somebody with malicious intent deleted something or caused the problem in some way. I wasn't allowing new signups so I am not sure how that could have happened either.


    Thanks in advance for any help.
  • This seems strange....

    I did a chmod 777 on my autothemes directory and now the available themes show up on the PSAK theme reset page. I can change the default theme in this manner, but I am still getting the same error when I go to my site no matter which theme I choose.

    I am going to delete my autothemes directory and see if that helps at all.
  • ok, I deleted my AutoTheme directory and now can get my site back.

    This has me confused though: I went back to my favorite theme: G-Silver, which supposedly is an AutoTheme (it says "Powered by the AutoTheme HTML Theme System" at the bottom of the page) and it is coming up fine even though I've deleted my AutoTheme directory.... I'm so confused... and a little bit worried.
  • The older versions of AT had the module built into the theme. That is prolly one of the old ones.
  • I thought autothemes used header.htm(l?) not header.php?
    IIRC 141 line number is at or just after the body line in xanthia.
    What is on line 141?
