    I followed the hints in DNN Community Docs but my issue seems to be different. Does someone know what could cause ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS after switching from a custom theme to the Aphelia theme? Can I switch back to my theme by getting into the admin settings somehow or via database update? I tried removing the content in the Aphelia skin + container folders and copying the content of my theme, but that produces another error which also does not allow me to get to the admin settings. I seem to not be able to change the theme of a portal from a different portal of the same server.

      Not sure if this would help ... in browser go into dev tools (e.g. F12 in Edge) then network and refresh the page that's constantly redirecting ... you might be able to tell if it's happening for a script or img or other element rather than the page as a whole. Also check IIS rules or web.config for redirects. Consider changing redirects to rewrites if possible?

        Switching the theme can be done with an SQL statement like; 

         UPDATE tabs
SET SkinSrc = '[G]skins/xcillion/home.ascx'
WHERE TabId = 28;


        and of course use your own tabID

          In the Tabs table, the SkinSrc is NULL for all Tabs in the broken Portal. I think there is another SkinSrc setting for the Portal? But I cannot find it after looking up every table with a %skin% column.

          But of course (but I did not have this idea before writing the question) I can update the table and set SkinSrc and ContainerSrc for all rows of my PortalID and that revived my portal. So thank you again, Tycho!

            Great to see you got out of the woods. 

            And yeah, there are 2 places to set themes:
            1. persona bar-manage-themes (this is for portal level)
            2. persona bar-pages-advanced-appearance for page level.

            I always keep /admin on the Xcillion theme as a fallback. Also when I create Vanjaro sites for instance. 
            Have a great weekend.
