Theme resets periodically

[Brian Ramsay]

I am having a strange issue with habari where the theme resets to the
Charcoal theme seemingly at random. Probably once a day I have to
change the theme back to my custom theme. I have a development site
and a main site, both using the 0.7-rc2 tag and the same version of my
custom theme, and I only see this behavior on the main site.

Not sure if seeing the site will help, but the one with the problem is
http://foont.net, vs http://dev.foont.net which is fine.

I thought it might have something to do with whether or not I was
logged in, but after investigating that doesn't seem the case. Could
there be a difference in the database that would matter? I can't
really think what would cause the theme to stay set for a while, and
then revert.

Any ideas?

The only time the active theme is deactivated and the default substituted in its place should be when the active theme no longer exists (or can't be read because of permissions, etc.). I've no idea why they might be causing an issue, but let's start with the obvious: What plugins do you have activated?

On both the main and development site I have

AutoParagraph 0.9
Core Dash Modules 1.0
Flickr Media Silo 1.0
Habari Media Silo 1.0.1
Pingback 1.0
Spam Checker 1.0
a custom one of my own (adds two buttons to edit entry screen)

Something I noticed today that may help:
The Charcoal theme after changing throws a lot of errors. I think
it's a long list of 'index xxxx is not set' errors - when it happens
again I will post the errors. However, if I manually switch to the
Charcoal theme it doesn't have any errors. Not sure what's up there.

Thanks,
Brian

I noticed the errors Charcoal throws the other day. When Habari falls back to it it's not calling Charcoal's activation hook properly, so its options aren't set properly. No bid deal, there's a ticket filed for that.

None of those plugins should cause a problem, so I'm perplexed. Are there no errors in the log around the time this seems to happen?
