shabana,

Are you copying the Elgg files from your Ohrosh.com/elgg/ directory or you are uploading “Fresh” install of Elgg?
You can’t just copy your Elgg files from Ohrosh.com/elgg/ to Ohrosh.com/ without editing the configuration files as your settings file and database is already configured for sub-folder/sub-directory install.

The requested action (systemsettings/install) was not defined in the system.
Thats the message I am getting after uploading Elgg folders directly to my website Ohrosh.com instead of Ohrosh.com/elgg/ any clue? many thanks

@ shabana
Glad to hear it works. I’m not sure if there is a Arabic language pack but that is something you set when you install Elgg (after you insert your database information, on next page you set the language)

Uploading larger photos in Elgg depends on your server php configuration. You might want to contact your host provider and see the limits.

Any help? I owe you big time!!

@ shabana Are you using one with image as logo or other one?
Disable the theme in admin, delete it from the server via FTP, re-download the theme ( you might want to try the other Blackpod theme – http://juipo.com/free-tamplates/elgg-themes/blackpod-with-dropdown-menu-elgg-theme/ ) then unzip it and re-upload to server (mod folder).
Make sure the Simplecache and Filepath cache is Disabled in your “Site Administration” and also make sure that when unziping you are uploading last folder inside the zip.

There seems to be a problem either with your zip program or FTP program because there seems to be no css file.

Also what version of Elgg you are using 1.6.1 or 1.7?

Please help, I am from the Middle East and I just followed all steps of uploading the theme to the mod file and emptied all cache on my safari and kept the theme at the end of the plugins list. Still my website appears to have a primitive white and black look and the theme is not active , how can I make the theme work? please help me!

Hi,

Thanks for using our free Elgg theme. Now are you talking about Edit Page link/button on user Profile page or in Dashboard? To disable this option you will need to modify Profile or Dashboard plugin code. This is not recommended as it will make future Elgg upgrades a bit harder.

Our Elgg Team can make this mod for you if you wish. There may be a way to actually do this from theme or we can create small plugin that can override the default view.

Are you running Elgg 1.6.1 or 1.7 ? if you wish you can contact me through our Contact Us page to discuss this mod.
