Thank you for posting this article! I was so confused why that would be happening to me! As soon as you suggested another site looking for a theme I remembered that my site had originally be loaded at another location and I had moved early on in it’s development.

Basically speaking, I had two wordpress installs running on the same database. I had forgotten about one and didn’t know it was switching the theme on me. Now I know what happened and hopefully it should be fixed for good now!! Praise God .

Thank you so much.

God Bless,

Thanks for this good post. I came across it while searching for a fix to this problem. Your post made me realize that my particular problem was caused by the WPAU plugin leaving a WP installation in a WPAU-backup folder in the site’s root directory.

OK, OK, it took Chris Merriman two comments to figure it out, me too. Was also WP Mobile Edition. Fixed. Thanks again.

Thanks very much for this solution. I just used your "default" folder name change for the theme as I don't have time at this moment to dig through files. But I thought the same thing, someone (who had admin access to my site) was switching the theme on me. Of course, it wouldn't be a terribly funny joke, so I figured it was something else. I had just installed a few plugins (e.g. Popularity Contest, WP Mobile Edition, and WP-PostRatings so it could be any of those. Thanks again for posting.

Scratch that, it turned out I hadn’t followed the instructions for the King Mobile plug-in. Many thanks for your guidance…

You are a legend, thank you so much.
I am having the problem you described, and was beginning to wonder if a friend was playing a joke on me. I realised it was a bit too subtle for them, and didn’t know where to look next.
I’ve recently had to do a dirty install of 2.13, so I’m assuming there are files left over from that causing the issue.
I’ll insert the suggested code and take it from there.
Thanks again.
