I just updated from 2.2.1 to 2.3.1 and while the frontend sites work fine, the control panel is unstyled. I have reviewed all the posts I could find and followed those suggestions but no joy. I have uploaded my cp_themes folder again, moved the folder to the system directory, dropped the db and reinstalled-reupdated twice from backup and every time there is no styling. I have removed my .htaccess and gone with none and used index.php and still no luck. I checked php settings on the server and open_basedir is not set. Host is Dreamhost. This used to work, what else can I try?   

From firebug while using .htaccess and removing index.php I am showing a 404 for all the cp_themes resources.  However, when I eliminate the .htaccess from the mix and run a standard index.php, the error becomes a 403 forbidden. I then chmod -R 777 the themes folder for kicks but with no effect.

At the end of my tether here.

Hi botkiller,

I’m sorry you’re running into this. It’s clearly been a frustrating experience for you. I tell you what: be on the lookout for an email from me, and I’ll see what I can do to get this wrapped up for you in short order.

Thank you very much Kevin. I don’t understand why it didn’t work the first time, but I kept at it and late last night after uploading again and then chmod ing the permissions of the themes folder all is working.

Great! I’m so very glad to hear you got everything working, botkiller. Let us know if there’s anything else we can do to help.
