“Cheatin’ huh?”
I changed the skin on the blog again - this time to Chris Pearson’s excellent Copyblogger theme. Hope you all don’t mind all the changes, but I wasn’t 100% satisfied with the last skin. One of these days I must get around to making my own. I have a pretty good idea of what I want, but I will have to brush up my php skills to make it do what I want.
Anyway, with wordpress 2.2 (which is what is powering this site) I discovered that switching back to old skins is a really bad idea - I could still see the front end but the whole of the admin backend was completely inaccessible and I just got a “Cheatin’ huh?” error which I think is the sense of humour of the wordpress creators coming through. I do like error messages like that, much more friendly than “Error 808.”
How to fix that error? It is quite easy - in my case because I had changed wordpress skins and couldn’t get into the admin section to change it back, all I had to do was ftp into the webserver and delete the offending skin. I made a backup before I did that of course. Wordpress defaults back to, you guessed it, the default theme, and we were up and hobbling along like a drunk Japanese grandma with a walker in no time splat!
