After changing the theme of the Juniper installation, a few pages are broken. Some of the issues are as follows.

  1. The clickable stuff(for example: Expand all, Course content items etc.) are not responding to
    click.

This is happening with red-theme and dark-theme as well as my custom-theme. It looks like some of the javascript files are not loading but I am not sure why.

These are the steps I followed:

First, I edited following values in the /edx/etc/lms.yml and /edx/etc/studio.yml.

“COMPREHENSIVE_THEME_DIRS”: [
“/edx/app/edxapp/edx-platform/themes”
],
“DEFAULT_SITE_THEME”: “red-theme”,

“ENABLE_COMPREHENSIVE_THEMING”: true,

Then I ran the following commands:

sudo -H -u edxapp bash
source /edx/app/edxapp/edxapp_env
cd /edx/app/edxapp/edx-platform
paver update_assets lms --settings=production
paver update_assets cms --settings=production
exit

sudo /edx/bin/supervisorctl restart lms
sudo /edx/bin/supervisorctl restart cms
sudo /edx/bin/supervisorctl restart edxapp_worker:

I think there is some issue with the commands I am using to update the assets but don’t exactly know what is the issue. Could someone please help with this? Thank you.

Sometimes it happens to me that some static resources are not collected correctly.
try the following commands within the edxapp venv:

# enter the edxapp venv, same as before
sudo -H -u edxapp bash
source /edx/app/edxapp/edxapp_env
cd /edx/app/edxapp/edx-platform

# collect static assets again for lms and cms
./manage.py cms collectstatic --noinput
./manage.py lms collectstatic --noinput

# feel free to exit ...

If you use an 8GB ram server, your update_assets command might finish with an error (not enought memory). As precaution I always stop lms service to free so ram then start it again once the task is finished

/edx/bin/supervisorctl stop lms
# do your update_assets stuff here
/edx/bin/supervisorctl start lms
