[wp-testers] Theme keeps resetting to default - WP2.6-r8060

[Dean Robinson]

Thanks Kirk,

It would appear that the problem was a plugin that I had been using,  
and had deactivated, but it was still doing something, after I deleted  
the plugin altogether the problem went away... wish I'd thought of  
that originally.

cheers
