Solved K 3.0.0: Back-end kunena admin panel strange, CSS style not loading [Solved]

Hello,
Not sure if this happened to anyone before. My kunena (3.0.0) back-end admin panel looks bad:

It looks like css style isn't loading, even though the panel works, all sections look same, vertical 90's style rough HTML, no css.

All other Joomla components and Joomla it self panel is fine, its only kunena.
Is there a file i need to check to fix this?

Thank you.

Hi,

I think you try to re-install the Kunena component.

Thanks, but that sounds like a too harsh solution, too much customization i have done to just trash it all.

Perhaps i could recover some specific files responsible for CSS style from backup? I'm just not sure which ones.

look in \administrator\components\com_kunena\template\joomla30\template.php if joomla 3.x
or \administrator\components\com_kunena\template\joomla25\template.php if joomla 2.5.x

Thanks, done (did not help much though ).

best way is to rename: administrator\components\com_kunena to com_kunena1
then download kunena. unpack on the admin files.

I have downloaded the pkg_kunena_v3.0.6_2014-07-28 pack, extracted it, and i see here pkg_kunena_v3.0.6_2014-07-28\packages\com_kunena_v3.0.6\ a bunch of directories, and i'm not sure which ones go to my server's administrator/components/com_kunena and which to components/com_kunena.

Your screenshot is from Joomla 2.5.
The problem occurs when either the template.php is broken in "administrator/components/com_kunena/template/joomla25/".
Or if the bootstrap-custom.css is corrupt or has been changed. The path is "/media/kunena/css/joomla25/bootstrap-custom.css"

An upgrade is still recommended ( see here ).

I cannot remember if the problems you are experiencing with K 3.0.0 happened to anyone before. K 3.0.0 was released in May 2013; K 3.0.0 has not been supported for more than 16 months (since K 3.0.1 was released). The only supported version of Kunena at this time is K 3.0.6.

The correct way to instal K 3.0.6 is to read the K 3.0 Installation Guide .

I agree with 9themestore who wrote : "I think you [should] try to re-install the Kunena component." Yes, I sympathise with your view that this may seem like overkill and you may have done a lot of customisation to Kunena but, if you want our honest opinion, the best solution is to use the approved installation/upgrade procedure and to use the K 3.0.6 which is the only version of Kunena that is supported at the time of writing.

Also, please read Rules for posting in K 3.0 Support category .

Thanks, replaced bootstrap-custom.css and template.php from backup, but did not help.

Thank you, i'll take into consideration the reinstall suggestion.

19.10.2014 - It was all about the server, hosting (paid) sucks, just moved my site to another server hosting (even free) and it works all perfectly.

Thanks all for assistance and help, thread - solved.
