    RAC Coder has crashed my forum.

    I hired a coder from RAC to redo my CMS.

    When I logged on this morning, I found the coder has
    cancelled the project, and my forum wrecked...

    I tried deleting and re-installing themes, and nothing
    seems to work...

    any ideas?

    http://seoscripts.com

    I also tried to rebuild all the themes, and I get this
    error on all themes..

    Green SEO Fixed Width ... (Templates) (StyleVars) (Replacement Variables) (CSS)
    Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/includes/adminfunctions_template.php on line 1205
    (Controls) Done.

    So I am not sure what he did as he had limited access.

    I seem to recall seeing that error myself, when using a style for .. say, 4.0.3, on 4.0.6. Not sure what causes it though sorry.

    You could try uploading the tools.php (from the do_not_upload folder) to your AdminCP and see if calling it in your browser offers any solutions.

    Thank-You sir,

    that put me back just before he crashed the forum, and left the CMS blank...

    now I just have a Blank CMS...

    PS. Now I am getting CMS db errors, and it does not
    matter which theme I try...at some refresh point,
    I get a DB error.

    Hello,

    Please note that this has nothing to do with vBSEO. You'll receive a better response if you contact vBulletin support via ticket. However, try to re-import your master style via tools.php file or reverting templates from your "Go Green" style and also try to re-install your vBulletin CMS product by importing it directly from server.

    Its why i posted in off-topic...

    they are not always as helpful as you think...

    I have did all that, the forum is back, but the CMS is still blank.

    I even re-uploaded files from last weeks backup, and
    the cms is still blank.

    I have even went as far to install a new theme, and even
    the CMS on the new theme is blank...

    I can see your CMS working fine as a guest using the Red Metal style.

    I am not sure how to uninstall and reinstall individual packages such as CMS/Blog.

    If you can provide me some instruction on how to uninstall the cms, and how to
    re-install, then I will gladly give it a try...

    Uninstalling the CMS won't help, since it works fine with another styles. Make sure you have all CMS templates in your style, specially vbcms_page.

    thats why i tired to install a new theme that was also designed for the suite.
    still the CMS did not show, just the header and footer part of the CMS.

    and I also reuploaded last weeks backup that would have surely had
    all the files since it was working then also, still blank after upload.

    You told that you are receiving database errors. Can you please provide these?; maybe we can find a light on this matter.

    But who knows what else this person has done whilst coding his CMS. May be best just to uninstall from the plugin manager then do the install/upgrade/ option

    I have one. is it still stanard precedure to upload themes to /cpstyles/?
    I just looked in this folder and nothing is there with the exception of
    default VB themes.

    right now I am seeing my themes located in:

    domain.com/images/RedMetal

    this doesnt sound like the right place for a theme....

    cpstyles is JUST for the adminCP. A public theme should never be in there.
