pleaseee

Exactly what file did you delete in the root?

the theme i uploaded called steeldawn, first it gave me header.php errors so i figured if i got it out again it would go away, i know i gotta do something with the config.php file? but what it is i dont know, and could really use some help with step by step instructions on what to do,
thanks, i really apprecaite it if you could help me.

When you upload a theme is has to go into the Themes directory, not the root. So if I understand correctly you uploaded the new theme (complete folder?) into your nuke root directory...and simply deleted that theme directory after getting those errors? Can you provide a link to the site here? Check this also: [ Register or login to view links on this board. ]

sorry i typed it wrong, i uploaded it into the themes folder, i tryed that themefix and nothing happened, the site hasnt resolved yet so for now the link is [ Register or login to view links on this board. ]

Did you upload the themefix to [ Register or login to view links on this board. ] and edit line 3

$theme= "DeepBlue";

yup, it just comes up a blank page, the default is DeepBlue anyways

You wouldn't see that sql error if you just deleted a theme...this site was up and running before the theme problems?

yes its brand new just set up, first thing i wanted to do was cahnge the theme, and i got that from it.

my config file says....
