404-page is missing

Hello Waennefredder,

Please go to Joomla admin and check f there is a menu item marked as Front page. If the issue persists, please try installing the new version of Themler for Windows from http://themler.io/download
Make sure to backup your created themes before this.

Hi,

first of all thank you for the reply but somehow I don't get the solution.
Did the expected but nothing worked.
Now I installed Themler completely new as per mentioned link, openened it and logged in. Then Themler wanted to update the standard theme to newest version - done but still same problem. Afterwards I now disabled all modules but module for hmenu and footer 2 positions. One article is favorite too, but basically all other things are Themler standard right after installation - the problem is still there.

Sorry but I am getting crazy. Do you still have an Idea for me?

Sincerely
Karsten

OK, can you click on the Joomla admin icon and get to the backend? If so you just need to check a few things in there to see.

Hello Karsten,

Could you please make sure there is a menu item marked as Home (Front) page in Joomla backend?
Also - did you check the option to "Remove CMS content" while reinstalling Themler?

Hi Dave,

yes I can click / use the admin icon on the right top for opening the backend and as described it looks like I can use the backend as normal.

Hello Nettie,

I might not understand you correctly sorry. Can you describe this point more detailed as I am not a native english speaker? That would be great.
And yes, I checked the option to remove everything.

Karsten

What she is saying is you must assign the default menu item to the menu that is on the homepage. Themler needs to see the home or default menu item in the menu published on the homepage.

Another thing, can you see any other templates? Click the dropdown and choose Default for example. Does that show a template? If so then it's the menu problem. If not it's probably some other issue.

Maybe I found it but if so it changed nothing.
There was the "create a post" menu entry set as default/home with linking to English language and special access. Changed this to the standard main menu with the standard home entry and "all" languages & public access but it did not help. This is the stand right now:

Afterwards I checked the other point you said and I can see the list of templates in that dropdown (as said I just installed it new and try now to fix the issue with standard themler and standard template before restart) as well as opening successfully these templates for editing.

Maybe I am completely wrong or full of work but...Just one more thing. I now copied the database link from backend and checked the given link with windows explorer where Themler was missing "error.php" (see first entry and picture).

for some reason I was curious and just created an error.php file like follows (for real beginners)

the result is that Themler now loads this page instead of showing the message (of course still nothing to edit)

My question now: might it be possible that the installation programm just did forget/overran to create the editable standard error.php page of Themler which finally would mean I just ran out of one page but basically all things worked fine?

Is the default menu item's single article published? Change the main menu default to Featured Articles and try it without your new error.php file.

Hello Karsten,

As for the error page - it should use use the corresponding template and output the text for "Text 404" control that is in the functions.php file. I would not recommend you to create some additional files for this.
Am I correct that the issue is present now on the Home template only?

Finally and sadly you are correct. I still have this problem to be unable open & edit 404 page of themes. The other functions work as far as I can rate this.

Opening Themler after installation looks like:

Opening directly Theme for 404 pages looks like:

Hello, I am working with a new theme in the desktop version and have some issues now as well. I cannot get to my 404 page to edit it?

I can get to Home, and other templates OK so I can edit the 404 template on the live site later.
