    I'm not sure what you expect when you post vague subjects like that or don't post in the correct forum (if the module didn't come with PN it is a "Third Party Module"). Also - be patient, your question is not necessarily going to be answered in the first 3-4 hrs...

    As for your problem, this post might be relevant, though it involves a different module.

    You can manually remove the block in mySql (use phpMyAdmin or another dbase admin tool?) by going to the nukes_blocks table and deleted the appropriate row. I think CExpress has forums too, you might have better luck over there.

    If you are using a hosting co., you likely have phpMyAdmin in your "control panel" which would allow access to the PN DB tables in mySql.

    I am not an expert with ContentExpress, but this issue seems somewhat theme-related, as I am able to access your website home page with:
    http://www.academy.l….php?theme=PostNuke
    Note, the alternate theme tacked on as a query string. You can probably log in and get to your admin panel to either delete the block or change the theme. Your site will revert to the "broken" theme after logging in or going from page to page, but you can tack on the "working" theme at the end of the URL (query string) as:

    Code

    &theme=PostNuke

    to get the pages you are visiting to to work. For example, to access you Admin=>Settings page after loggin in, the URL would be:
    http://www.academy.l…main&theme=PostNuke

    I can view my page with that link but when i click Admin it just comes up with that message, it wont let me delete the block either as that message just comes up. I also tried changing the theme but the same happens when i click save changes.

    PostNuke Swiss Army Knife can reset the theme. It's in the http://downloads.postnuke.com area, not sure what category it's under but it's there.

    Yeah, that's what I said would happen - you need to append the Theme to the end of the URL... I'd say the Swiss Army Knife is your best shot if you are having trouble with that.

    Thanks again nate_02631 - a rogue theme locked me out of my site but using your

    Code

    &theme=PostNuke
    string i got back to my settings file - so simple yet works like a dream.

    Wow, I don't know how you came across *this post* what with its lousy topic subject ;)

    Yeah, I hear a lot about "Swiss Army Knife", but this way is much less hassle...
