Hello,
For some strange reason I cannot get my theme to change from ‘default’ to ‘blue’. I have made the change in the “index.php” file but it will not change.
Here’s what I have in index.php

#support extra color themes
$ja_color_themes = array('default','green','blue'); // You can add more color array if needed
####################################
# Change the width of the template
$ja_width_default = 'wide'; // 'narrow': 800x600; 'wide': 1024x768; 'auto': fluid width
# default color
$ja_color_default = 'blue';

It won’t change to any other color except Orange. I am stumpted because it’s so easy but something is wrong.

Help please, thanks,
Mike

Have you also tried after clearing your cache and cookies?

When you update your index.php file you need to clear your cookies/cache so that it doesn’t remember the old setting.

I was closing my browser, and opening another one and it still wouldn’t change.
I can make other edits in the “index.php” file and they show up right away. I’ve been working with Joomla for well over 2 years now and have never had this happen. I cannot explain it, but I fixed it.

I managed to hard code it to only draw the blue.css file from the Blue colors folder. This solved my problem but still doesn’t explain what was wrong.

Thank for your help

Closing the browser does not clear the cache. Depending on your browser you need to find this function somewhere in extras or tools -> option

This is the “How to” for Internet Explorer

if using another browser you will find it through google.
