Community themes glitch

[bedes]

I know, second post from yours truly in a row, but this is a new topic that I can't figure out for myself either.

I have this issue where, when I try to apply a journal theme to my community, it glitches out and applies it to my personal journal instead. This includes when the URL says auth as=(community name). I've tried switching browsers, and even switching to my phone, to see if it's a problem on my end, but it's consistent across all devices and all browsers.

Does everyone else experience this? If yes, what's the fix for it, if any? Thanks!

Argh, this sucks. I understand that this is an intermittent issue that comes up again occasionally. It looks like someone already reported it, though you could perhaps update the ticket to mention this is still causing problems? I hope it gets resolved soon :( (and hi again! 😅)

Thanks for the link to the ticket! I submitted a response saying this is happening for me too

A while back I was setting up a little private comm and the same thing happened, which of course drove me crazy for a few hours until I eventually managed to (kind of) bypass it.

If I recall correctly, it was possible to change the community style if I chose from the very first page I was on, meaning I couldn't navigate away from that Featured page with the "authas=[comm]" URL. Of course it defeats the purpose of having a bunch of styles to choose from, but... At least I managed to actually change the damn thing and not my personal one for the 10000th time. Now, IIRC, I did pick something that wasn't directly on the Featured page but instead of going to All or Base Styles I just clicked on one of the style creators' names (out of those few in the Featured page, yes) and chose something (although one on the first page of results as well).

It's not ideal but it worked for me a couple of months back. Maybe it still works...?

The "first page of featured styles" works! The "click on creators' names" trick has ceased working, though. (・_・ヾ Thank you!

Aw, it sucks that the creators' page didn't work... But if Featured did then I suppose it's better than having to endure that One Style every newer comm has been forced to use ever since the glitch reared its ugly head, LOL. I'm glad that helped at least a tiny bit! :)

Spotted this update on dw_maintenance: Code push imminent..., and I think the glitch should be fixed now!
