hi,

Themler was working perfectly yesterday.

There were not updates on the computer or anything like that.

This morning, it just won't load. I get a dark chrome page named untitled and nothing more. I rebooted the computer twice, nothing has changed.

I tried to open the debug mode, also won't load.

I really need this to work.

Thanks!

Hello Thomas,

In many cases complete reinstallation helps. However please make sure to backup the created themes before this. If this does not help, please attach the log file/

Hi Aileen,

Seriously? We need to uninstall then reinstall in order to get it working again?
I've read all the posts in this thread and was just going to wait until someone said they have the answer. Then I got to the end and see we need to reinstall and there is no other answer.

Will it help you if I attach the Diagnostic Tool log?
Or is the situation moot - reinstall or it won't work?

Thanks.
Thomas

also almost a week trying to get it back online.
On 2 different devices Themler stopped working and gave my a dark grey screen..

Desktop troubleshooting guide does not give any answer that will fix te problem.

The only workaround on this moment is using the online version, IF you have included themler in your template

Hello,

I was also afraid to loose my themes.

I did a copy of the themler folder in C:\Program Files (x86)\Themler (I couldn't find the themes folder)

When I reinstalled themler, I didn't need the copy, my themes were all available again!

Hope it might help!

My initial fix is no longer working, so I can't get into Themler at all.
The suggestion in other posts is to remove Themler and the data folders then re-install, see below, BUT how do I get all my themes back, do I copy theme folders back in?

In another of the many posts on this subject, it appears that the re-install as below may not be working.

Please follow the steps below:
1. Backup all theme folders somewhere on your computer.
2. Uninstall Themler completely and also check the box for "Remove all CMS content".
3. Check if the following folders are still present:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Themler
C:\ProgramData\Themler
4. If they exist, remove them.
5. Reboot the machine after uninstalling Themler, so that all Themler services are removed for sure.
6. Download latest version of Themler for Windows from themler.com, install it and try to start with any CMS and create a theme.
Please let us know the result.

Any update on this Themler Support?
A sign of life would be nice.

If you don't know what this issue is just say it. Anything is better than nothing.

Same problem.
Started my own topic about it earlier.
https://answers.themler.com/questions/112897/grey-screen-while-loading-themler-desktop

OT of this topic refered me to this topic.
No answers from Themler support however.
None of the solutions work and I'm left with a not working version of Themler full of themes which I'm building for cliƫnts.
This is costing me alot of money as I'm unable to finish the Themes and therefor unable to finish the websites.

I expect a fix asap!
This is a very critical issue and should be at the top of your priority list!!

I uninstalled Chrome then re-installed, this does not fix the grey screen issue.

I need to know if I uninstall Themler, download current version then re-install will my themes in the ProgramData folder (W10) still be there and accessible after?

I have also asked in another thread about exporting the zip of a theme to enable import back into Themler, and if I need to export with Themler support or not, and not had a response to that.

This is a MAJOR issue that is affecting my ability to get work done, can we please have a response and a fix.

Themler does not working from live site also. It's just showing me connecting .............connecting..........I just convert my client project themler to premium theme, because currently it's too much difficult to working with themler. It's not working perfectly from desktop or live server.

I think day by day their client is increased, so now they need a better server that why we can work smoothly. But, i do not see action from them, it's so sad for us...............

I have this issue as well, but don't see the instructions referred to above.
I have found a temporary fix and worked out in a bit more detail whats happening.

It started after the W10 update that messes up DHCP, as documented on the internet. The updates happened as I powered down last night, so the problem started this morning. First boot of the PC as OK, it was when various programs started stalling I rebooted again.
Initially Google Chrome has each window black and a black face in each tab, and Themler has the initial back window.
Themler would not start in debug mode. I looked at the error log and Themler appears not to be connecting to the database.

I then found this information:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/10741/windows-10-fix-network-connection-issues
To run these networking commands in a command prompt window

In the search box on the taskbar, type Command prompt, press and hold (or right-click) Command prompt, and then select Run as administrator > Yes.
At the command prompt, run the following commands in the listed order, and then check to see if that fixes your connection problem:
Type netsh winsock reset and press Enter.
Type netsh int ip reset and press Enter.
Type ipconfig /release and press Enter.
Type ipconfig /renew and press Enter.
Type ipconfig /flushdns and press Enter.

I ran these 5 commands, rebooted the PC and I can then load Themler, BUT Chrome browser had a black screen and the tabs have a black face in them.

Then rebooted the PC again, this time Themler has the black windows, Chrome works fine.

After some experimentation, its the following command that appears to temporarily fix the issue:
ipconfig /flushdns and press Enter.

Whichever is used first, Chrome or Themler, the other one will not load.

Any suggestions for a proper fix?
And can I please have the instructions mentioned above.
I have a lot of Wordpress and Woocommerce templates which I cannot lose, how do I back these up. I have asked the question before and not got a reliable answer.

Thank you isabeljutras.
I did't tried your method.
But I found my way.

1.uninstall Themler and Google Chrome.
2.reinstall Themler and Google Chrome.

Both latest version.
It's OK in my environment.
I don't know why.
