Please help.

Best Answer

Here is my solution to change theme name:
1) Change folder name:

app/design/frontend/{your-vendor}/{folder-theme}/

2) Change path name in registration.php file:

app/design/frontend/{your-vendor}/{folder-theme}/registration.php

<?php    
\Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::register(
    \Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::THEME,
    'frontend/{your-vendor}/{folder-theme}',
    __DIR__
);

3) Change path name in theme.xml file:

app/design/frontend/{your-vendor}/{folder-theme}/theme.xml

<theme xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Config/etc/theme.xsd">
    <title>{theme-name}</title>
    <parent>Magento/luma</parent>
</theme>

NOTE: After changing you have to run this conmand:

php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

Magento – Magento theme not get loaded

I would not often suggest making changes via the database but in the case where you cannot access the admin section the package information is stored in the table core_config_data where the path = 'design/package/name'

I would suggest that you change your admin package and theme back to the default and see if that helps you to edit items from the admin section before you start to play around with the database.

Also make a backup before working directly with the database.
