    For last 15 days or so I am having this unusual issue, whereby my choosen wordpress theme changes automatically to default kubric theme after some time.

    I am currently using Blog Oh Blog Reloaded theme a modified version of Blog Oh Blog theme. It was working nice for many days. But wot happened suddenly that the theme gets changed to default kubric theme after sometime. If any one can assist me regarding this I will be grateful.

    Note: My demo site which uses the same theme as a demo but with very less plug-ins does not have this issue. So I think this is an issue with some plug-ins. Please assist me with this.

    1. Go to your WP Admin Panel -> Presentation and in the theme editor change the name of the default theme to another name (the name can be found in the style.css, usually first line).
    2. Change the name of the theme you want to use to "WordPress Default".
    3. Select it as the theme to use.

    it usually happen when you edit or upload the style.css file. let say you are editing style.css of your Blog of Blog theme and upload it to the server. when the time the styles.css is upload to server, someone is visiting your site but the style.css is not yet exist in the server. because of the style.css is not exist in the server, wordpress will automatically change your theme to Wordpress kubrick theme because the kubrick is the default Wordpress theme incase there is something wrong with your Blog oh Blog theme, eg: style.css not exist, sidebar.php not exist, etc.

    for an example, try rename your blog oh blog theme single.php file to singlex.php. Wordpress will still run your Blog oh Blog theme but will use single.php file from Kubrick theme because single.php theme does not exist in Blog oh Blog folder.

    hope this helps.

    That is not true, if someone tries to look at his site and there is something wrong with the theme, it will display the theme he has stated incorrectly, it will not revert to the default theme.

    what i mean is if certain files (eg: sidebar.php, single.php) not exist in the server, wordpress will use the files from default wordpress theme which is Kubrick theme. let say sidebar.php does not exist in Blog oh Blog theme, Wordpress will call sidebar.php file from Kubrick theme.

    Btw Wordpress will only revert to Kubrick theme if the style.css for the current theme does not exist in the server. please re-read my post. :)
