Cannot save display settings after updating Solo theme

Open on Drupal.org →
Created on 14 May 2025, 2 days ago

Hello,

I am a beginner with Drupal and recently updated the Solo theme to the latest version. After the update, I noticed that I can no longer save any of the display settings of the theme.

This problem happens:

• When using the Solo theme directly.
• Also when using my sub-theme based on Solo.

Whenever I go to the theme settings page at Appearance → Settings → Solo, I can see the form, and I can make changes, but when I click “Save configuration”, the page reloads but the changes are not saved, and everything returns to the previous settings.

This was working fine before.

What I tried:

• Cleared all caches using Configuration → Performance → Clear all caches.
• Checked user permissions (I have admin rights and nothing changed).
• Checked the Reports → Recent log messages and found no errors or warnings when saving the settings.

Environment:

• Drupal version: 10.4.7
• Solo theme version: 1.0.19
• PHP version: 8.3.19
• Web server: Apache

Since I am still learning Drupal, I may have missed something, but I wanted to report this because I could not find any other similar issue reported yet.
I also wanted to check if this is a known problem with the latest theme version or if I should try something else.

Thank you very much for your help!

    Thank you for your detailed report and for using the Solo theme.

    After reviewing your description, I want to clarify that the “Save configuration” functionality is part of Drupal core and is handled by the form system itself. The Solo theme does not override or customize this form submission behavior in any way.

    Based on what you’ve shared, the issue is not caused by the Solo theme. The settings form and save button are provided by Drupal, and the theme only provides additional fields or defaults (e.g., color settings, layout options) via the theme hook.

    A few things you might try next:

    1. Confirm that the Solo theme settings form has not been altered in a custom module or by the sub-theme.
    2. Temporarily disable your sub-theme and try saving with Solo as the default theme to rule out custom overrides.
    3. Check if the Solo config is being blocked from saving by a contributed module (like Config Ignore or similar).
    4. Enable error reporting or check logs again after saving, to see if PHP or form validation errors are being hidden silently.

    Again, thank you for bringing this up. At this time, there are no known issues in Solo version 1.0.19 related to saving theme settings. Please feel free to share any further findings.

    Best wishes,
    Alaa
