The active theme has changed, upload files to ensure proper operation.

  • So I am trying to upgrade a wordpress installation for a client and get them using the most recent version of wordpress(3.3.2). I updated all of the plugins. Then updated wordpress. I checked the site and everything works fine. But, when I go back to the dashboard I can no longer access the Apperance -> Menus Section. I can see Themes and Widgets but not Menus. I deactivated all plugins. Still does not show up. I switched back to the twenty eleven theme. And I can see Menus again. But I now get a notice when I switch themes

    “The active theme has changed, upload files please now to ensure proper operation.”

    I can’t figure out what that means. I found one place where it referenced the W3 Total Cache plugin. So I deactivated it. Still get the issue. What files are missing? I have tried removing everything in the functions.php file in my theme and that also did not change anything. I also deactivated all plugins and reinstalled WordPress 3.3.2. Still have the issue.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

    That sounds like a problem in your old theme.

    What Theme are you using?

    It is a custom built theme. But I can’t figure out what file could be causing the issue. I thought it might be in the functions.php file but I removed everything from it to see if that would fix the problem and it did not. I don’t understand what other file could cause issues with the admin section of wordpress.

    Can you activate both Twenty Eleven and Twenty Ten without problems?

    When I activate the twenty ten theme I can see the Menus under appearance but the admin bar at the top is broken.

    Have you deactivated all Plugins?

    Yes, all plugins are deactivated. When I switch over to the twenty ten theme is still breaks. After some more testing once the admin bar breaks the only way to get it back to normal is to activate the twenty eleven theme and reinstall wordpress. But as soon as I switch to the other theme everything breaks again.
