Forum:Theme time

I just tried to upload a new theme to one of my wikis and it didn't show up yet. How long do it normally take? Mand&#39;alor Skyobiliviator The Devastator 02:55, October 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * Okay, it kinda work now, but whenever I click "fix" the theme switches back to the old theme again. Mand&#39;alor Skyobiliviator The Devastator 03:14, October 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * What you see are conflicts between cached versions. Wikia uses a main server and a caching server (which has more traffic volume capacity). Often used pages are stored on the caching server to keep the main server from getting too high volumes of traffic to work with.


 * You will need the purge command to clear the cache and force the caching server to pick up the new page. You can do that by changing the edit command at the end of the URL into purge


 * http://community.wikia.com/index.php?title=Forum:Theme_time&action=edit then becomes http://community.wikia.com/index.php?title=Forum:Theme_time&action=purge


 * If you do it right it will ask to confirm the purge command.
