There is probably a PHP error in your new theme. You’ll want to look in your error logs to see where it is failing. See this FAQ: > [@When I click some button or follow some link, I'm left with a blank page. What do I do?](http://forum.pkp.sfu.ca/t/when-i-click-some-button-or-follow-some-link-im-left-with-a-blank-page-what-do-i-do/898): > > Check your webserver error log Usually, this indicates that a PHP error has occurred and the message has been sent to your web server or system log file. Check there – e.g. /var/log/apache/error.log, although the exact location will depend on your server configuration – for further details. Check your file permissions If you haven’t installed OJS yet, then the most likely cause is a problem with file permissions in your cache/ or cache/t\_compile directories. See docs/README for information on… Restoring the original theme files probably will get you up and running again quickly if desired; it’s unlikely there’s any database restore needed at this point. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.pkp.sfu.ca/t/help-ojs-malfunctioning-after-removeing-the-theme-folder/3753)._
