Can’t delete theme or change it from being active

  • Hi,

    I am in the process of setting up a WordPress site. I’m not sure how but the active theme is set to a blank one without a name. If I click on it, all I see is this:

    Version: false
    By false

    false

    Wordpress alerts me: “ERROR: Stylesheet is missing”. I’m told that “The active theme is broken. Reverting to the default theme.” However, I cannot change to any other themes. Every time I click to activate them, nothing happens.

    Furthermore, this theme is not showing up under wp-content in my host’s file manager.

    What can I do? I have never experienced this before and cannot see anyone else who has had it.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Ah! I am having the exact same issue.

    Mine is on a fresh install. Was there a theme or plugin you installed and then the problem?

    Mine is also on a fresh install. No plugins installed. All I had done was attempt to upload a theme.

    I too am having the same problem! HELP!

    I think I just solved my problem. I logged into my Bluehost account and went to the ‘WordPress Tools’ menu. There is a ‘Themes’ category – selected this and updated my choice of theme. I’ve now gone back into my wordpress admin area of my website and the undeletable theme has now vanished and my preferred theme is showing as active. Hope this helps you too!

    I was encountering the same issue. Try deactivating the MOJO Marketplace plugin.

    I found this solution here and tested it. Now my themes work.

    rjdean77. looks like they released an update to the MOJO marketplace (Version 1.2.7) that fixed the issue for me. Your post drove me down the right path. Thanks.
