The theme directory “light” does not exist.

    I’m running 3 websites, all of them within the same server/plan and running more or less the same plugins and Neve theme. Very stable for years now.

    Recently ONE of them, when trying to use the Customizer, gives me a blank page with:

    The theme directory “light” does not exist.

    Not sure what “light” theme is, i never used anything like that. I don’t have any child themes or mods to the theme.

    At first i thought it was a Neve issue but then i switched to the default theme and after that to an other theme, and the issue is there. So it is not a Neve theme issue.

    I disabled all plugins, still no luck.

    I found someone else reporting that here, without any solutions:

    first time seeing this error

    ANY ideas or suggestions are welcome!

    thanks

    I wish someone could help me on this, since i can’t use ANY theme (Customizer).

    I put some php code before the “die” error above to see what path is used/called.

    <?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>

    Are here is the result:

    https :// www. my-website . eu /wp-content/themes/twentytwentyone

    The theme directory “light” does not exist.

    As you can see the path is CORRECT.

    Could the ‘-‘ in my domain be the cause (i doubt it but i can’t check if not).

    How can i debug this?

    Since i must solve this, i erased everything, files and DB and i reinstalled for a while a NEW WP 5.8. Nothing else. Just WP 5.8, no themes or plugins. This was the only way to test.

    Same issue.

    So the problem must be WP, some bug probably.

    So i’m restoring the site back and PLS be kind enough to help on this.

    I found the issue and thanks to Firefox hard caching it was not easy.

    Finally the issue is

    https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/header-footer-code-manager/

    disabling it and clearing FF cache, did the job.
