I am using a third party theme for my store which is https://themeforest.net/item/digitalstore-responsive-magento-1-2-theme/19685939.

I have no idea, How can I resolve this error.

Magento ver. : 2.3.5-p1

Any help?

Answer 1

I have resolved my issue to set value 0 in 'theme' table in db for type column.

Answer 2

Just in case someone else runs in to this still: For us, the parent_id:s of our custom themes were all kinds of messed up, showing up all as parent_id=1; Fixing the parent_id's from "theme"-table fixed the issue.

f.ex.

+----------+-----------+-------------------------+
| theme_id | parent_id | theme_path              |
+----------+-----------+-------------------------+
|        1 |      NULL | Magento/blank           |
|        2 |      NULL | Magento/backend         |
|        3 |         1 | Magento/luma            |
|        4 |         1 | 3rdpartyVendor/base     |
|        5 |         1 | 3rdpartyVendor/child    |
|        6 |         1 | Vendor/frontendtheme    |
|        7 |         2 | Vendor/admintheme       |
+----------+-----------+-------------------------+

Switching to correct parents fixed the issue:

+----------+-----------+-------------------------+
| theme_id | parent_id | theme_path              |
+----------+-----------+-------------------------+
|        1 |      NULL | Magento/blank           |
|        2 |      NULL | Magento/backend         |
|        3 |         1 | Magento/luma            |
|        4 |         1 | 3rdpartyVendor/base     |
|        5 |         4 | 3rdpartyVendor/child    |
|        6 |         5 | Vendor/frontendtheme    |
|        7 |         2 | Vendor/admintheme       |
+----------+-----------+-------------------------+

Answer 3

Run these commands in the order shown and the issue should be solved

php bin/magento cache:clean
php bin/magento cache:flush
rm -rf pub/static/frontend/* pub/static/adminhtml/*
php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f

the issue is a cache issue, nothing more

Answer 4

You need to update the type from the theme table, which may be changed. Please run below SQL

update theme set type=0;

Also Please check your selected theme on Admin

After that, you need to run the below magento command.

php bin/magento setup:upgrade
php bin/magento s:s:d -f 
php bin/magento cache:clean

Note: If it's still not working then please remove your custom theme entry from the theme table and run the above magento command again. And also select the theme from the admin again.

Answer 5

You miss this german.jpg file. If you add this file in your ftp, in the correct directory, it will be solved.

Answer 6

check logs after run command if completed successfully php bin/magento setup:upgrade

Answer 7

After creating my personalized theme, I executed the "bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f" command, however errors similar to those described here were generated.

After many unsuccessful attempts I realized that I had not registered the personalized theme in the database.

To solve it, I executed the following commands:

1 - bin/magento setup:upgrade

2 - bin/magento setup:di:compile

3 - bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f

This registers the personalized tempate in the database

Problem solved in Magento 2.4.6-P5

I hope this helps those who have the same problem currently
