Flexpage theme missing error

Moodle 3.2.7, php 5.4.6, MyQl 5.7.25 on CentOS (kernel 3.10.0-957.1.3.el7.x86_64)

When I set up my developer's debugging tools, this error pops up whenever I visit a Moodle page. I am trying to debug a course completion issue. Can someone suggest why am I getting this error? 

Note: My default theme is Adaptable. We underwent site migration recently.

Thanks in advanced.

This page should be using theme flexpage which cannot be initialised. Falling back to the site theme adaptable

Because the 'Flexpage' theme has not been installed or is broken!  Hence the words "This page should be using theme flexpage which cannot be initialised. Falling back to the site theme adaptable".

As Gareth stated, you installed Flexpage and now moodle can't find it. Even Adaptable is your default theme, moodle load all the themes settings when you load a page that include the Site Administration menu.

You must remove Flexpage from the theme folder and also from the database. Try first to find the theme in the Plugins Overview page or try to delete the rows related to Flexpage.

And the easiest solution is to install Flexpage again, verify all is working and then remove it from Moodle following the right steps.

Please, some Mod can change the title because this issue is not related with Adaptable? Thanks.

I've changed the title of the post to be more accurate to the actual problem in case anyone else does a search in the future.  In this case, Adaptable is just the fallback theme that was switched to because of the issue and not the actual issue itself.

Re: Adaptable theme and flexpage error

We never removed the older themes i.e flexpage and just deactivated it when we moved to Adaptable.

I can see that when checking user permissions at the system level I get this:

View Flexpage Menus    Allowed: Yes

And it seems that old theme functions are still active. 

I will remove flexpage from the site. Thanks

Hello,

I am dealing with the same issue with Flexpage v3.2.3. In the Plugins overview page Flexpage does not have the "Uninstall" link available. This is because theme_flexpage is required by format_flexpage and vice versa. 

How do I remove Flexpage from the theme folder?
How do I remove Flexpage from the database?

I appreciate any help or pointers in the right direction.

Thank you.
