Frontend error - Mage_Page_Block_Html_Topmenu

[stuartoh]

Hi

I am using the latest CE version, and this morning received the following error whilst accessing the frontend (admin is working fine). Any help in finding a solution would be much appreciated.

No changes were made to the website itself since last last, although I did clear the cache in admin this morning.

There has been an error processing your request

Hi @stuartoh,

Looks like you have installede the "buyshop" theme ?

app/design/frontend/buyshop/default/template/page/html/topmenu.phtml(44):

Top is saying the the topmenu.phtml file is missing?

Could you have misplaced some files during theme installation / copy ?

[stuartoh]

Hi

No, all the files are in situ. The strangest thing, though - when I restored all the files from the var/ folder from last nights backup, the frontend worked, but as soon as I refreshed or cleared the cache, I get the same error message at frontend. The Layout section in cache management reads 'INVALIDATED'.

Hi that sound stange.

I would try to re-uploade all theme files and the clearing the cache incl. emptying the /var folders.

If this dosen't help, we will have to have more developer skilled people replying

For "INVALIDATED" please see this from Inchoo, could be helping you out:
