reset skin

Is there a way to reset all pages of a site to a new skin or default skin ?

Re: reset skin

This is an interesting question that I would like some more help on.

I wanted to uninstall a skin from the Host->Skins page. Let's call this skin "Blue." But DNN tells me that Blue cannot be deleted because it's in use. OK. So I change the default skin to, say, "Red," but DNN is still telling me that Blue can't be deleted because it's in use. So I go through every page replacing the non-default Blue containers, which are still there, to Red containers. But DNN is *still* telling me that "Blue" is in use and can't be deleted. So how *does* one uninstall a skin in this situation?

A little more context: In my case, I wanted to upgrade from Blue v. 2 to the newly released Blue v. 3. I assumed it would overwrite the host-based v.2 skin, but it doesn't; it installs as a portal-based skin. So now I have Blue 2 host and Blue 3 portal. But I can't uninstall Blue 2 because DNN says I'm still using it, when I'm not, or at least, can't see where any component is in use on the site. Any suggestions?

Re: reset skin

you might have modified skin layout at page level. With this way i guess you have to edit page settings for unchanged skin and select "Not Selected" or empty.
