Hi Thomas
Thanks for responding.
The skin is called "CDCSkin". Which is sometimes shown as "Main.CDCSkin".
The URL for it is:
http://xwiki.local:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/CDCSkin
The title of the page is simply "Skin" and the breadcrumbs shows "Home > Skin"
I have tried the following URLS and none work:
http://xwiki.local:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/?skin=CDCSkin http://xwiki.local:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/?skin=Main.CDCSkin http://xwiki.local:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/?skin=Skin
Could it be that your skin page is a nested page? Try http://xwiki.local:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/?skin=Main.CDCSkin.WebHome Thanks -Vincent
I have also checked in /usr/lib/xwiki/skins and the only directory in there is "flamingo". Though I am pretty sure at some point it was changed so that you didn't have to duplicate the folder, just had to create a "skin" document (not sure document is the right word, but hopefully you know what I mean).
I've tried a search for "CDCSkin" on the server and it doesn't appear to exist on the filesystem.
Please let me know if you need any other info and thanks again for your help.
Kind regards,

The only thing that changed I can think of is that there is a default base skin now in xwiki.cfg. Skin that were not indicated any parent skin used to inherit directly from /templates/, maybe that's you issue.

?skin= should always work. What and where is your skin exactly ?

Hi
It seems that 8.1 is ignoring my custom skin. I can tell because it isn’t loading the skin or any of the overriding .vm files.
Even if I use the “Test this Skin” link which specifically specifies the ?skin=CDCSkin, it doesn’t make any difference.
I have looked through: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/ReleaseNotes/ReleaseNotesXWiki81 http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Skins But they weren’t much help.

Any help would be sincerely appreciated. Thanks.
Kind regards,
