Example:

Survey themes

To fix an incompatible survey theme, add the "compatibility" option with the correct version number inside the "config.xml" file for this theme.

This can be done in 2 ways:

1. Export the survey theme and access the config.xml file.
2. If you have access to the server, the config.xml is located inside "upload/themes/survey/YOURTHEMENAME" of the applications root directory.

Carefully examine in a dummy survey which changes you need to make before using your custom survey theme in a live environment.

Admin themes

  Before updating the compatibility version number of your config.xml file, please be aware that enabling an incompatible admin theme can break the admin interface of the application.
If this happens to you, make sure to manually set the theme inside the database table "settings_global" to the default theme "Sea_Green". You can always check in the "application/config/config-defaults.php" file what name should be used in the database $config['admintheme'] = 'Sea_Green';.

To enable an admin theme again, add the "compatibility" option with the correct version number inside the "config.xml" file for this theme.

Question themes

To make them compatible with a new version of LimeSurvey the compatibility tag in config.xml has to be updated, located in "NAME/survey/questions/answer/QUESTIONTYPENAME/config.xml" within the structure of the question theme.
