Can't change theme to Clean after upgrade to v3.3

Can't change theme to Clean after upgrade to v3.3

Just upgraded from v3.1 to v3.3.

This upgrade changed the theme to Boost, which I don't like.

I tried to change it back to Legacy Clean theme using Theme Selector, and the Clean theme is SET. I also clicked on the Clear Theme Caches but everytime I log in it still uses Boost theme even though Clean is selected.

How do I get Clean theme to work?

Thanks

Purge caches again ... not just theme but site.

Two ways ...

1. edit config.php file and add a line to force the use of Clean:

$CFG->theme='clean';

OR

2. edit the mdl_config table for same variable.

Before doing the above, think I'd turn on debugging and see if there is anything reported.

Also check apache error logs for clues.

Since you upgraded, depending how you upgraded, something could be missing ... like 'bootstrapbase' ... OR

since you upgraded and depending upon how you upgraded, could be a owership/permissions issue on the new files.

So ... check apache error logs ... no clue ... turn on debugging .... nothing to report ... config.php file ... then get nasty and edit mdl_config table.

Excellent suggestions!

The problem was that theme/boostrapbase was not included in v3.3 so I copied it over from my v3.1 theme directory and unset the Clean theme then set use Clean theme again and bingo it now works.

Thanks
