<p class="has-normal-font-size">The error looks like the one shown below (Taken from <a href="https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sharepoint/sharepoint-themes-there-was-an-error-while-attempting-to-get-the/m-p/319409">Microsoft Tech Community</a>)</p>

<p>To fix this error, the easiest method as of March 2020 is do the following.</p>



<ol class="wp-block-list"><li>Click on &#8220;Classic change the look options&#8221; menu item shown in the screenshot above.</li><li>Choose one of the theme.</li><li>Preview it by clicking on &#8220;Try it out&#8221;.</li><li>Then click on &#8220;Yes, keep it&#8221;</li><li>Again load the home page</li><li>Try changing the theme, and the error should be gone.</li></ol>
