Exported my tables via phpmyadmin, dropped the old ones and have imported the export with IF EXIST DROP + ADD TABLES queries intact. * Have also reinstalled WP 2.0.1 twice from vanilla/freshly downloaded zips. * I’ll try the same again with you new database idea later today.. I’m willing to try anything at this stage! * Thanks for your help, I’ll let you know how I go once I’ve restored everything. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [theme keeps reverting to default](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-keeps-reverting-to-default/) * Thread Starter [chrisbevan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chrisbevan/) * (@chrisbevan) * [20 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-keeps-reverting-to-default/#post-339446) * Yes. Confirmed installed and active. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [theme keeps reverting to default](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-keeps-reverting-to-default/) * Thread Starter [chrisbevan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chrisbevan/) * (@chrisbevan) * [20 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-keeps-reverting-to-default/#post-339444) * I’ll log a support ticket with my host to cover this base, though I’m running another WP blog in the same database (different tables ofcourse) which isn’t experiencing any such issues. I’m therefore not convinced this will provide any additional info. * I can’t disable Markdown currently as I’m using it fairly extensively to format my posts. Save for editing each post, disabling is not feasible. * I’ve already tried disabling Akismet with no success, the issue remained. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [theme keeps reverting to default](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-keeps-reverting-to-default/) * Thread Starter [chrisbevan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chrisbevan/) * (@chrisbevan) * [20 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-keeps-reverting-to-default/#post-339441) * As posted in detail [here](http://getk2.com/forum/showthread.php?t=57), I’ve now determined that it’s unlikely that K2 is the cuplrit here. * I’m currently running the ‘Almost Spring’ theme and my problem persists. Prior to installing ‘Almost Spring’ I was running ‘K2’ (as described above) with the same issue experienced. K2 has now been removed from my themes directory and any related entries removed from the ‘wp_options’ table of my database. * To reiterate, I can activate my chosen theme, everything runs as expected for several hours then, for a reason that I can’t determine, my site reverts to using the WP default theme. No ‘broken theme’ error is reported from the Dashboard and the theme-related ‘wp_options’ entries ‘theme’ and ‘stylesheet’ are updated to the value ‘default’. * In an update to my initial post here, I’m running WP 2.0.1 with only the Akismet and Markdown plugins activated. * Anyone got any ideas?
