 * What in the world…?!
    Lately I’ve been experiencing the strangest thing: out 
   of nowhere WP seems to choose NO template for my blog. This means all I get is
   a white page. I seem to be able to log in through a direct link to the dashboard
   and choose my default theme to fix the problem, but I just wonder how it’s possible
   that WP does such a thing!

    Thanx for the 
   feedback

 * I’ve experienced something similar myself when editing my personal themes. It
   only ever seems to occur whenever the default template (located in the /default/
   folder believe it or not) was not there – either through my deleting it or for
   whatever other reason.
 * Long story short: ensure that your /default/ template is there. Hope this helps.

 * Re-download the WordPress zip from the downloads area, unzip it and the default
   template folder can be located here: wp-content/templates/default/
 * Just re-upload it to the corresponding templates folder and your good to go.

 * As Projectego suggested: I replaced the default template.
    This morning, I was
   shocked to find my log set to the default template again… At least there WAS 
   a template, but this is starting to p*ss me off. How come this is happening and
   how to I solve the problem? Please, urgent help needed!

 * Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem PLEASE?!
    Everyday, the default theme
   pops up. I would just like to keep the theme I chose! This problem is seriously
   bugging me and I’m considering to switch to a different system because of this.
