Replit theme changes when visiting certain paths

Support Bug Reports

Problem description:
Here is a very quick poc: POC - YouTube
When browsing back and forth between pages the theme gets reset.

Example you are here https://replit.com/@HusseinMuhaisen you visit → “https://replit.com/pricing” then if you browse back your theme will reset.

Expected behavior:
To have the same theme I had before and not reset

Actual behavior:
To shuffle back and forth between the pages without having our theme reset

Steps to reproduce:
Setup a theme: I am using the official Spooky theme

When I CTRL+ SHIFT + R, the theme gets back to normal.

Ah. That’s useful! So it’s caching the older version of the page from before you changed the theme?

I have this problem occasionally, if it’s labeled as a “dark theme” it’s normal dark, if it’s labeled as a light theme, then it’s normal light.

Yep that might be the case, so a refresh will kind of fix the issue. however I think its better if it gets responsive and real-time so someone for example recording a video on how to use replit doesn’t go through this…etc

Do you mean recording a video on how to use themes? This should not be an issue for any other use of Replit, unless you change theme mid way through the video.

I think the replit team has fixed this issue :cowboy_hat_face:
