Can’t Uninstall a phpBB Theme?

When I went to uninstall a theme on our forums, I was greeted by this nice error:

Template->make_filename(): Error - file admin/confirm_body.tpl does not exist

That error isn’t anything giganitc, it just means that page that asks, “Are you sure?” doesn’t exist. A quick Google search found the answer. But, since the code is generic, you can just use this generic confirm_body.tpl (Right-Click and Save As) and upload it to /templates/TEMPLATENAME/admin/ and it’ll just… work.

One reminder: you need to upload the confirm_body.tpl to the admin folder of the template throwing the error (meaning the one you’re using in your Admin Panel), not the one you’re trying to delete.

    Ah hah! You have to use the default subsiler theme to delete the other themes

    Yeah, I didn’t have the default theme installed and the custom theme I was using didn’t have the file needed, hence having to add in my own confirm_body.tpl

    Glad you were able to get your problem sorted out.
