can you provide some more info?  is this a new install?  did you do an upgrade and lost the styling?  if so, which version to which version?   this is wp 4.3, right?

try going to forum - integration - storage locations and make sure you have valid locations with no errors...

its possible your host is blocking php parsing of css files...  for a quick test, what if you switch to the forum theme of css only on forum - themes - theme list?

I think it happened with an upgrade but not too sure. I dont check the forums regularly. It was fine about 3 weeks ago. two weeks later I see this.

I just visited the storage location, and the fields are ticked green with a play button.

The server host just confirmed im not blocking parsing css

When I go to themes, I only have the options below, and no theme list.

Available Themes
Mobile Phone Theme
Mobile Tablet Theme
Theme Editor
Theme Uploader

What should I do next :/

First up please try the instructions described in this FAQ: https://simple-press.com/docum.....an-update/

If that makes no difference then yes - try the CSS Only theme. The list of themes you have installed will be shown using the 'Available Themes' menu item in the Themes section. If it is not in your list then you can download it here: https://simple-press.com/downl.....nly-theme/

The CSS only theme worked. I guess that means that I wont be having any cream and berries covered forums 🙁 . Any idea what the cause if this maybe, I would really want to revert back.

there were no changes on our end to affect themes like that... you should still be able to use the theme you want...

perhaps when the theme was updated, the permissions on the server got changed...  can you verify the theme main php file is web accessible?

what theme are you using?  It seems quite out of date... is it our stock theme or one you customized?

Hmm, the theme wasnt updated, in fact the makers stopped making that theme neither do they give assistance. Im assuming it could be a server setting or a plugin because your theme was working fine before. im not so sure what and when the simple press forums was altered.

 

The forum theme folders are all 755.

Steve was actually referring to the Simple:Press themes. is the Wordpress updater panel informing you that there are updates available for the SP theme?
