# Fixing invalid configuration fields

To fix invalid configuration fields, please follow the instructions below.

> **Some background information**
>
> If you are unable to save your configuration and/or receive a message to this effect when saving (e.g. "Invalid configuration"), this is usually due to an incorrectly filled configuration field.
>
> If an error occurs, you have the following two options:
>
> 1. You filled a field incorrectly before saving.
>    * The incorrect value will not be applied. Reload the configuration and everything will be fine again.
> 2. You filled in a field incorrectly before updating to Shopware 6.7.
>    * You must now find the value and correct it.

In this article, we assume that you have already validated the configuration and received a message indicating the incorrect field.

If you have not yet validated the configuration, please proceed as described in the following article:

{% endcontent-ref %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**: In the cases known to date, the error was always due to an incorrectly filled colour configuration.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
**Tip**: Use Shopware's colour picker to obtain a valid colour value.
{% endhint %}

## Fixing invalid configuration fields

Let's assume you receive the message `SCSS Value "#9fa5ab;" is not valid for type "color"` or `SCSS Value "none" is not valid for type "color"`. Both are variants of the same problem, an incorrectly filled colour configuration.

> In the first case, a copying error has crept in and a semicolon has been added: `#9fa5ab;`. In the second case, the value `none` has been inserted. The value `none` is not a valid value for a CSS/SCSS colour field. Use `transparent` or `rgba(255, 255, 255, 0)` to "remove" a colour.

1. Open the administration of your shop
2. Open your theme configuration
3. Search each tab with your browser (e.g. **Ctrl + F**) for the incorrect value (e.g. `#9fa5ab;` or `none` )
   * **Tip**: In the Pro Edition, you can expand all sections with the "Expand all" button next to the Save button and search through them all at once. \

4. Once you have found the value, adjust the corresponding field
5. Save your changes

Your theme should now be saved again.
