Change theme manually

  • Hello
    I am running an old version of WordPress (2.5) and recently bought a theme I wanted to use. I knew I had to upgrade the wordpress to 2.9.2 before doing it, but I accidently chose the new theme when I thought I was going to edit it after having logged on. Now I keep getting this error and can’t do anything:
    Fatal error: Class bm_widget_popularposts: Cannot inherit from undefined class wp_widget in /wp-content/themes/mimbopro/scripts/bm_widgetClasses.php on line 5

    Is there any way manually I can change the theme back to the previous by editing any files on my server?

  • Hi,

    You can either remove the problamatic theme from wordpress theme folder by FTP to your blog or change theme directly from the database…

    – Open phpMyAdmin, go to your wp database. Open wp_options table. Search for three option_name – template, stylesheet, and current_theme.

    See the option_value fields from the search result. The option_value will be your theme name. Change option_value of the search result to ‘classic’ OR ‘default’. Classic and default are the default wordpress themes present at the time of wp installation.

    Thanks,

    Shane G.

    Thanks For Ur Help… Buddy…
