The Theme Creator tool is experiencing issues where users cannot add or create themes, receiving a “requested URL or resource could not be found” error. rsigg reports the problem began after attempting to edit and re-upload a theme, with all methods (popular themes, GitHub, new themes) failing. Lilly confirms similar issues, noting uploads work better than GitHub links. awesomerobot initially suspects permission issues but clarifies that membership in the theme_creator group is only needed for sharing, not uploading. rsigg confirms they are in the group, suggesting a broader permission bug. david identifies the cause as recent refactoring in Discourse core and shares a fix in a PR. The fix was deployed to discourse.theme-creator.io, and rsigg confirms the issue is resolved.
Hello!
I’ve been having an issue with the Theme Creator since at least Monday.
tldr; all methods of adding/creating a new theme result in the same error message:
“An error occurred: The requested URL or resource could not be found.”
My issue: I had been working with a theme that I uploaded last week and was editing within the Theme Creator. So I know that the theme I used is valid.
On Monday I logged in to theme creator, and even though I was logged in, I was getting an error message related to permissions when trying to edit.
As a result I simply deleted the theme and tried to re-upload. At this point I received the above message.
Initially I thought it was just my theme, but after checking it over I didn’t see anything. So I tried the other options (Popular, Github and Create New) and got the same message for every method.
can confirm i’ve had some issues lately and generated same error message. i find uploading the themes has been more consistent than the github repository links even if i just download them from there then upload.
Hmm you need to be a member of the theme_creator group here on Meta to get access to upload themes to theme creator, and it doesn’t look like you were part of the group (were you ever? ).
Nevermind, that’s just to share themes.
Could you try logging out of theme creator, logging back in, and try to upload again?
I’ve logged out/in and also tried logging in with incognito window.
Still no option works: not installing a Popular theme, uploading, from a git repo, or even just creating a new one…
Yeah that was my mistake, you only need to be part of the group to share from theme creator, anyone with an account should be able to upload. We’ll investigate the problem and try to figure out what’s going on.
Yes, it seems the plugin we’ve built might need an update… it appears to be a permission issue that impacts multiple accounts.
