Luci is not accessible after installing theme

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hi, I uploaded a theme via Luci and after I refreshed the page I can not access Luci. Device keeps working, I can use ssh. How can I fix it?


Error

should we guess which theme you installed ?

Apprently "neobird":

@ROM
You should ask from the author of that 3rd-party theme. Never heard about it here. I highly doubt that it would work with the current LuCI environment, especially as based on the error message, it seems to be lua based.

(Well, apparently that is not true, because forum search reveals that I have said the same 3 years ago...

a 3+ y.o 3rd party theme, it would appear.

you could always try reset.

I tried rebooting several times but did not work.

reboot <> reset.

You mean re-install openwrt?

8

reset is reset, but reinstalling is obviously also an option.

Use ssh to connect to the device.
Run firstboot to reset the device to factory defaults.
OR
If you want to avoid the total reset, you may change the theme

uci set luci.main.mediaurlbase='/luci-static/bootstrap'
uci commit
reboot

You just saved me, thank you so much. No more 3rd party themes for me…
