CMS Made Simple Forums

So all of a sudden on Friday when we go to the admin page, it's blank. If I go to view source, I just see a light gray number 1. I'm going to 'www.mysite.com/admin. This has always worked before now.

I looked at the files in the site and see a version.php. It has 1.7 in it. I know that's pretty far behind the curve. I do plan on upgrading once I can get in...

Any suggestions or places to start?

Sounds like your host upgraded the PHP, so I would do a CMSMS upgrade except you may have 3rd party modules that should be upgraded before CMSMS, so if you remember what modules you had along with versions you could maybe upgrade them first, you can find this info in the DB...

Ok So I couldn't get into admin mode to disable modules, so I just went ahead and updated to the latest version after making a full backup. I overwrote all the files with the latest version and then ran the install. That all went well.

Then I was able to log into the admin and then upgraded the one extension that it said it needed.

At that point, I had a site, but it looked like the theme was borked. I played around and seemed lost until I found this info on the theme section of your website:

"If you have a fresh install of CMSMS 1.10.x or greater, not an upgrade, some of these themes will give a smarty error related to {stylesheet}, this plugin has been removed from CMSMS distributions. use {cms_stylesheet} instead.
a) Open the template of the theme;
b) Search for {stylesheet};
c) Replace {stylesheet} with {cms_stylesheet};
d) Save template;
e) Open style sheets and change image calls:
old url(uploads/folder/image.jpg)
new url([[root_url]]/uploads/folder/image.jpg)"

That fixed my theme! It's not perfect, but it's usable again. Now I can take my time to fix the rest! Thanks!
