Style installed and set as default but doesnot appear as default

Post by localnomad »

Hello,
I am beginner who just installed phpBB 3.3.4. I want to change the default prosilver style to CleanSilver.
Downloaded CleanSilver 1.1.5 (which is for php 3.3.4) from the Style DB, and following the installation instruction, the CleanSilver style is installed under www.myweb.com/forum/ and I make CleanSilver Active --> YES and Make Default Style --> YES while at the same time I Deactivate prosilver

However when I go the www.myweb/forum/ or www.myweb.com/forum/index.php, prosilver style still appear. Only if I point to https://www.myweb/forum/index.php?style=2 then CleanSilver style appear.

Out of my curiosity, I installed another style, Breeze 1.1.4 (which is also for phpBB 3.3.4), I activate Breeze (Active --> YES, Make Default Style --> YES) and at the same time I make sure prosilver and CleanSilver are deactivated. However www.myweb.com/forum/ still shows prosilver style. Only if I point to www.myweb.com/forum/index.php?style=3 then Breeze appear. (And www.myweb.com/forum/index.php?style=2 shows CleanSilver style.) I also tried to Activate or Deactivate prosilver, with either CleanSilver or Breeze as Default Style, but I don't see any different.

Am I missing something? Really appreciate any help ..... .

Best Regards,

Following is the link,
it is still an empty board, but you can see the different style (Breeze is set as Default)

https://www.pikapina.com/forum/index.php --> point to prosilver (set as deactivate)

Meantime:
https://www.pikapina.com/forum/index.php?style=1 --> prosilver (deactivated)
https://www.pikapina.com/forum/index.php?style=2 --> Breeze (this is set as Active and Default)
https://www.pikapina.com/forum/index.php?style=3 --> CleanSilver (deactivated)

You probably didn't change it to Cleansilver for your account in UCP did you? I bet this is your issue well not really an issue but you know ;)

Thanks for your reply,

UCP> Board Preferences> Global settings and then select the new style as long as you haven't turned the feature off in ACP > General> Board settings> Override user style> yes/no. See Installing & Using Styles
