I’m using the blue-light template throughout the website and it looks great. However, when I enable the Blog section which uses K2, the blog shows up with the default black template. I can’t get it to use the blue-light template even when changing the template parameters of the blog (only options given are default, ja_community_blog, and ja_community_plus.

Is there a setting that I am missing to enable the blog to use the blue-light template?

Thank you!
Micheal

Dear outreachweb,

In the back-end og your template >> Global tab >> Profile Override Settings section.

Please make sure that you have assigned the page which is referring to the k2 blog section to a profile (which has blue-light theme).

This was also a problem for me. In the template back-end, I have the blue-light theme assigned to all pages. When you go to change the parameters in the menu item, those options are grayed out.

I was not able to fix it, so I just deleted that menu item and created a new one (you have to delete it, just changing the type doesn’t work). I did this after I changed the default theme to blue-light. This worked (it seems that the old link was not updating the new default template).

Yes Please check current version of the template and plugin, you should use latest versions. and then try following to this guide http://www.joomlart.com/forums/topic/solution-for-the-error-in-saving-template-configuration/ . to set permission on creating, writing files and folder.

And then re-configure again, when done, just clear the T3 cache and force reload your browser with CTRL + F5

Thanks

The advice from missshona worked; thank you! Even though I was updating the existing blog menu item that came with the template/default data, the default dark template was showing up. I had to create a new menu entry to make it work.
